Back Porch steps
simple steps for beach cabin
Easy steps six feet wide, with three 2 x 4 on each step. 12 inch concrete pads landing.
After living in the cabin for three months I found that the area for the back porch gets very very little sun. Thus no large $$$…just nice steps.

Rough in Plumbing Complete
With Gordon’s expert advice, guidance and experience, I was able to “complete” the rough in plumbing. My Readers Digest How-to-do-it Plumbing Guide was just not enough.
Shower is 36″ x 36″, stacked laundry area in the mechanical room, and the bathroom will have plenty of storage overhead. First rain today tested my roofing job and the gutter system.
Proud to report all are working fine, no leaks! Next up : rough in electric. . .
Cedar Siding Progress
Joe continues to make progress on the cedar siding. He added a nice T & G covering over the porch, which added a very “cabin” feeling to the entry. Today he will begin on the front wall. Septic tank and drain field were covered yesterday. We are moving along…maybe Francelle and Iwill be able to celebrate Christmas at the beach cabin. Maybe !Siding – One wall complete
I have hired Joe to start on the cedar siding on the North side of the beach cabin. Here is two days worth of his hard work. A masters work! Thanks Joe.
