Fairly productive and fun weekend up at the cabin...
I got there on Friday and had stopped at Lowe's and picked up a little 5000 btu unit and promptly went to cutting a hole in the tiny cabin. Did I mention how bad I hate to work with the cement siding...
Anyway framed it in and trimmed it up on the outside and sealed everything and man what a difference... We really take A/C [And hot showers] for granted in this generation.
Worked framing up the lofts Saturday, and by Saturday afternoon Mrs. Irish and I were ready to shower and have a good time. We had a few friends over for some grilled brats and chicken thighs. My buddy Bill brought his old open back 5 string banjo and I had my trusty Applause 6 string guitar. It is really fun picking and playing some songs with old friends and having some good food, good drink and good fellowship.
Table saw as a bar...
I love my little cast iron hibachi grill...
My buddy Bill the banjo picker...
Despite all the booze, eating and having a good time we actually managed to get some work done... Mrs. Irish and I framed both lofts and got the decking and the handrail posts/hangers built. I still have to install some ledge boards under the joists...
It was hot as hell up there. I drank water until I was sick of it and only until I started drinking beer later did I finally have to go pee. Then I switched to whiskey. Seriously in weather like this it is hard to drink enough to stay hydrated.
