Cabin Construction Plans  

Posted by Stan Harrington

With the onslaught of summer and the plans to commence making the Hole In The Wall an all season recreational area with the construction of permanent housing. Detail planning is everything in a construction project as large as this. We are fortunate that we have the "Pope" to draw up plans, organize cost estimates, lend expertise knowledge, and leadership. Today, Bull Buffie delivered some good news that is going to greatly enhance the project and reduce the cost per unit in regards to foundation work. We are also fortunate that the Alpha Wolf has expertise in the installation of plumbing as well as installation and acquisition of heating units. Daddy Bear is well versed in electrical so we also have that area covered. We are also very fortunate that all of the ladies are very good cooks so we can be assured that breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be available during the construction phase, not to mention the finish staining and painting. Of course, I will always be around for supervision, morale, and practical jokes. Harass people is what I do best.

However, the one thing that we do not have covered is the acquisition of all the tools that we will need in the project. Most of us have enough hand tools and power tools to accomplish the task but there are a lot of equipment and tools on the market that can make our job much easier. In some cases it may take two or three men to accomplish a task, this is an excessive waste of manpower. We need tools that will replace two men so they can be working on a different phase of the project. I think I have found just the tool we need and it will be a big morale booster if we can get the worker to join us on the job site. (The video is 1.06 minutes, for my system it downloaded slow but it could have to do with the time of day ~ well worth the watch!

What a tool!
I have a couple of "panel carrys", but they didn't come with short shorts like that.


...i doubt anything would get done, though...
