Running Rivers, Building Cabins II
Pretty much all Summer I've been hauling up building material for the shop at the cabin. This last weekend was the BIG WEEKEND to get the foundation set & platform built. Since most of my friends are my age, 45 or better, I left the recruitment to my 20 year old son to round up a few strong backs... and he delivered.
Getting everything hauled 20 miles up the Talkeetna river is half the battle for constructing anything out there. Then the biggest step is getting that platform built - getting those 12 telephone poles planted precisely square and getting the platform squared on top plus being square relative to the existing shed is a huge task. At one point there were 6 of us standing there doing math on our phone calculators and arguing formulas.
So we started out with these two trailer loads :
And these telephone poles weighed 800# - 1000# each :
Just the freighting would have been a very good productive weekend.
