Today I finished building for the 2011 season. Time to head home to my beautiful wife, Betsy. I insulated the mechanical room and I am heating it with a small ceramic heater set at 60 degrees for the winter as a test for future winters to see if freezable items can be stored safely. I drained all water from the water heater, pressure tank and water lines, blew everything out with compressed air, then winterized everything in case the heater fails.
Next year my plans are to install the railings on the deck and build permanent steps up to the deck on both sides of the house. I will also get help to install the interior stairs from the basement to the main floor at some point next summer. I also plan to begin building the log garage. I would like to get as much of the log work completed next year as I can.
My sincere thanks to all of you who have been following this Blog. Until next year.......
