Now that I'm no longer doing classes, I have some alternating weekend time to start doing some interior improvements to the hunt camp, The overall building is perhaps 20' x 60' and it's divided in half, with the front half containing the kitchen and bathroom and the rear (former classroom) has the central A/C unit.
I've got a good bit of cypress lumber we cut and stacked some thirty years ago so no better time than to get busy and make some improvements. I plan on doing all the walls in cypress with a mix of board and batten and just plain board end to end in certain places. Once done, I'll paint the ceiling and support beams either white or grey. Off to a good start for not being a carpenter and having zero wood-working experience. Hope to have it done by December so I can host a meet and greet along with range fun and a night shoot. Before...  The beginning...

As I told you on the phone yesterday, great job my friend! You’ve got a really neat set up there and this is really going to make a huge difference. Glad you are finally taking some time for yourself to improve and enjoy the place.

Looks like a pro job! Glad to see it going up.
I helped some family run a pile of trees through a portable mill and cross stack the boards. Thirty years later it's seasoned perfectly, and will probably be in the same stack in another thirty... |

Looks great! Better hope your bride doesn't want a similar job at home.

Awesome upgrades. It will be a whole new retreat when you are done. Just don't forget the ankle breaking front porch!

Wow - what an awesome looking hunt camp.
Would jump at the chance to make a road trip to meet you. Would love to chase a hog/turkey or deer with you! Red |

Love the warmth that wood brings to an indoor area. Even better that there’s no need for sheetrock and mud! Looks great Bob!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KeelDog: Love the warmth that wood brings to an indoor area. Even better that there’s no need for sheetrock and mud! Looks great Bob! Thanks... I agree... my brother has been after me for years to do this but I simply have not had the time. Now I do. Got a little more done this week but I'm in the process of moving my 93 y/o mom from Tallahassee down here to live with me where I live so she has a better quality of life. That's going to keep me busy for the next several weeks and then I can press on with the improvements. My goal is to set dates in the future for gatherings perhaps with a theme... a long range weekend, a shotgun weekend, a wood-stocked mil surp weekend, etc., and of course, night shooting. |
