Dear Bob, Patty, and every one else,
My winter project to get the camp kitchen built is under way. For those who havent seen the sketch, the idea is to build a unit on casters so we can have it when the building season resumes in the spring, and can move it around as we finish off the floors, walls etc. Eventually the sink will be hooked up to the septic tank, but to get started it will drain into a 5 gallon spackle bucket. Hot water for washing and rinsing dishs will be generated by a propane shower unit, and will be stored in insulated Coleman jugs over the sink. Drinking water will be in its own 10 gallon container over the food prep area. We will accomodate a 24 inch range when we get permanent propane hookup, in the mean time, we will use a Coleman propane two burner stove unit. Storage will all be in metal boxes, with three 22x 15x 5 1/2 inch pull out drawers with lids, and smaller Ikea storage boxes in cubbies. There is a 50 quart ice chest with a five day duration, also on full extention glides.
This description is not really for the architect who has reviewed the shop drawings, but for others who profess interest in my spam. I started the frame to which the casters attach and which holds together the three units that disassemble for transport and getting through the door. This was interrupteed by a trip to Connecticut to visit my son Barak, his wife Jenn and their new born son Baeden Samuel Blackburn. If any of you havent herard the news of Louise and my attaining grandparenthood..... there you go. Pictures and news updates of the baby and his family can be had by visiting Barak's blog: http://brocktoon.tripod.com/news/
If your computer doesnt read this as a link, you could always copy and paste.
I'll probably send a few more reports before this joinery project is finished. When we are traveling each weekend to build, the interval for Reports to the Architect was set.....this is a bit more arbitrarily divided, since I can work on it everyday.....yahoooo! But I do miss the old income and the making of woodchips. All in due time....love to all BSB
