The interior of my "palace" for the next 8 weeks. No comparison to the tent from the year before last.

My first goal is the completion of the outhouse before arrival of my two ladies. The new seat has already replaced the old. The hardwood isn't nearly so rough ;-) |

Recent precision work also on the seat. Cutting a recess for... well - let's say ventilation ;-) and the edge smoothed again. The top cross beams received a beveled surface. |

Completing work on the roof:
2 strains and 5 boards cut and nailed.
A very nice [neighbor] has donated additional 6 boards to me.
Thank you :-)
Every single board has got its own name. One for each member of his family:
Joe, Kendal, Kloe, Laetitia, Kolton und Brody. |
