1: I hate to paint. Nothing is more boring in the whole wide world. Maybe peeling potatoes.
2: The limited time I have available I want to spend inside and get that done.
But the cabin needs to be painted.... Asked a local painter if he could put on one coat before winter sets in (yes it has started snowing in some parts of the mountains) but he wanted 120 kr per sqm....a total of 21.000,- including tax (yes, some do the tax thing....). 21 k for one coat was a bit too much so now I either have to get my xxxx together or just leave it untill spring comes... ugh!
Still another week and a half before I get a chance to go back up there, can't wait!

Sleepover!
The project was put on halt for a little bit due to sickness but when the last bit of fever had been chased away a car with trailer full of tools, materials, matress, and more headed for the mountan with an excited cabin builder behind the wheel. The week was intended for the annual hunting trip but some last minute change of plans freed up 3 days to spend at the cabin before loading the shotgun...
First night was a rather chilly experience but the next two improved dramatically as the walls and most of the ceiling area got insulated. Two 2kw heaters did the job when the insulation was more or less done. Although the dog never got quite satisfied and desperatly fought for her right to get a corner of the comforter.
Plan was insulating and putting down the pinewood floor on the upstairs area, but the later took more time than estimated as many boards where a bit crooked and twisted, but the floor did get done and only some insulation remains. In total there is 345 sqm of insulation to put in on all the right places...
It will be a couple of weeks before the next trip but will have a total of 6 days then and hope to complete panelling both the ceiling downstairs and upstairs. The electrician is coming this week to do everything he needs to do in the ceiling. Decided to put up the panel on the entire ceiling area before putting up the inner walls for 2 reasons; easier to put inner walls up, and even more importantly get as much material as possible off from the floor and out of the way....bet shoulders and arms will be quite stiff after 6 days of panelling ceiling area....
