JCM 9,130 #1 Posted January 13, 2020 I thought the weather was very unusual yesterday and last evening when my significant other came home from work I mentioned spending the night in the Bunkhouse. This would be the first overnight stay. Loaded up the old ice fishing sled and Allagash wooden packbasket with essentials, donned the headlamps and trekked into the night looking forward to lighting the Jotul stove and enjoying Happy Hour. It was 40 degrees upon entry and within 2 hours a comfortable 70. I hope you enjoy the pics of my 2018 Christmas present from my sister, even family likes to play jokes on me regarding my occupation. The thermometer is located in the screen porch and questioned if it was accurate, just seems odd.Woke up a 4 am and opened the windows to let some heat out. Spent from 8 pm to 8 am this morning and had a great time, looking forward to Spring but with just a little bit more SEAT time. 6 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,266 #2 Posted January 13, 2020 Folks I've been in that cabin. I assure you all it's at least 50 times more lovely in person. @JCM Jim ... Trina and I could live in that full time. Seriously. With a huge workshop of course. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,130 #6 Posted March 1, 2020 Last evening after dinner we decided to do another overnight off the grid. The brook is starting to thaw somewhat due to the swings in temperature. Nice to be able to head out to the cabin and spend some time wondering what it must have been like to live like that before all our modern conveniences.Amazing how little hardwood I put through the Jotul stove to keep it a comfortable 70 degrees inside. The temps outside were much different than in January when we stayed in the cabin. Brought some Apple pie @Sparky just in case. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,266 #9 Posted March 1, 2020 Trina and I would absolutely live there. A big barn shop next to that we'd be happy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,130 #10 Posted March 1, 2020 I hear you brother. The sky was absolutely beautiful last night, stars and half moon, I almost started howling but didn't want to bring the coyotes in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
