Also got a nice compliment from the roofers and the soffit guy how square everything was and it shows in the pictures. I was intrigued by the comments and so I asked what they encountered in new home construction and they told me point blank that it's quite a shit show, anything goes and they...

Your grass looks so green! very nice!

Haven't posted in awhile about the build so here goes, Pictures will follow but alot has happened. The roof/shingles were done on Tuesday this week, wasn't sure it was going to happen but 6 guys showed up at 2pm and I'll I will say is that they were really hard workers and they roofed my garage...

I was talking to the guy at the contractor desk and Menards in Rhinelander is currently #4 in Building product sales in the nation. Literally a gold mine for them as more people are moving up this way and dumping money into their homes.

I chose Menards specifically because of the 11% rebate and did price comparison with HD and Pukall. Lots of rebate checks, helps out with the insulation that I am now installing. I've not ever tried the contractor service desk but may give it a try someday. I truly believe that both Menards and...

I think the LP siding at Menards is very similiar, They have a 15 and 30 year warranty, priced accordingly. It is also pre-painted and their association is with Sherwin Williams. It is special order, 2 week lead time. I don't buy anything from Pukall unless I have to, I would go broke, they are...

Looks very nice Ski Roule! I'm curious, after restoring the sled what do you think the current value is for it now?

where is your cabin located?

Looks nice, We are going with LP Smart Siding 6"from Menards. It's a 2 week lead time and if had know next week was going to be so nice I would have ordered some. Oh well, we'll go with the House Block for the winter and start in on the siding in the Spring. What width is it that you went with?

Most likely it's subsidised, the tax payers lose thee $33K, not Rivian. What a joke..........

Thanks to all for defending our country!

nice

Thanks Uncle Ed, I looked back on the first post date and saw it was 6/29/23 so I have been at this 4 months, I didn't start to frame out until 8/19 so my build has been about 2 and half months. My goal was to finish before it snowed and I made that but lots to do yet and it's cold and snowy...

2-3" in MW this morning

Have some buddies up for our fishing weekend, this weeks accomplisments, gas line put in, stairs built and installed to upstairs, and today I managed to get all 5 windows installed, what a beeatch! especially on the high side, that's me up on a ladder off of my roof installing the window, geez...

We have about 90% of leaves down, 53 this morning, falling to 27 tonight, got all my windows put in today in the garage. I may try a last fish tomorrow, going to be cold this week.

Sad......like everything else these days. When does it end?

Tim, I bought an expensive ($2,800) 8ft tall, 16 ft wide R-19 insulated door from Menards, Ideal Brand. We put the door in ourselves, it pretty much took us all day but I am not an experienced Garage door installer, well, maybe now I am. Up here, you learn to do alot of things yourself, I...

I did, but everything moved really fast this Spring and getting trusses on order and delivered was the first thing on my mind. Structurely I think this is best for my situation. Also an attic is a catch all for collecting things and I don't want to be emptying it out 10 years from now so that...

Looks like the last time I posted pics was on 10/17. I have enclosed everything in and have house wrap on pretty much everything except a couple small areas because I ran out. Took a trip to Menards today and picked up some supplies, insulation, house wrap, a new window for the lower level that...
