More Framing

Ben went up a couple weekends ago on his own to finish the interior framing. He framed out the bedroom walls and the raised bathroom floor. Here are the results...

In the above picture, you are looking at the bathroom on the left and the bedroom on the right, with the hall in the middle leading to the back of the house.


It's looking a bit smushed here - the bedroom wall now butts up against our little camp bubble.


This is looking from inside the bedroom out the bedroom door at our bubble.


The bathroom floor is raised to accomodate the pipes that come from the well and lead to the septic. We need to keep them above the floor since there is no basement or crawlspace and they must be kept warm throughout the winter.


Ben insulated the box where the pipes come up. The box reaches down 3 or 4 feet underground and (hopefully) protects those pipes as they come into the house. We will also have heat taping that snakes down into the well pipe and keeps it warm enough not to freeze (as long as the power stays on).



Here's the fuzzy preview of our view-to-be, the lump at the bottom being our blanket-covered tent. You can get a glimpse of the white horse on the right side of the picture. We like seeing the horse except that it also makes us sad because the owners never ride him or visit him and he's all alone. We're going to ask them if we can visit him once in awhile, but they're not super friendly people so we'll see...

Now we're waiting on the plumber to come rough out the plumbing in the walls, then we'll close up for the winter and resume in the spring!
