The sawdust does a lot to the dry the solids even only after a couple of days. Like I said the only time it gets nasty is when the urine and solids are mixed….. then it is like a campgrounds outhouse after a holiday weekend.

I've been in Idaho for going on 3 years. I had to go back to western Washington, where I moved from last weekend and I honestly don't really care to go back again.

I love it here

Gonna take it easy this weekend….. other than cleanup around the cabin I decided to build a a small wood shed on back of the cabin so all I will have to do is reach out the back door to restock the wood for the cabin.

This is mostly mom’s ‘job’ (her choice) as she has already cut and split most of the wood for this year…..

(This is over a cord of wood alone)

(Both of these bins will be full by next weekend)

All that,  plus a pallet of energy logs will more than get us through this winter. Her goal was to have the shed on the back of the cabin that she can fill once a week to keep the cabin stocked.

Wood shed looks great. Even your mom is putting me to shame with the work she gets done.

I would hate reachibg into that wood pile due to all the spiders that will be present, but I'm a sissy when it comes to spiders.

I’ll mill the deck boards and get them sealed and installed tomorrow if it doesn’t start raining.

Well it’s been 2 years since I last looked at this thread- and holy crap at how much you’ve got done and how good it all looks!

Definitely one of the top 3 best threads on this forum!  



You are super talented and my back hurts just looking at all the work you’ve done

I hit the deck with a mixture of linseed oil and ready seal (cedar) to help protect it over the winter. I plan on back filling around it with some gravel.
