Construction photos as promised

Hi everyone.
After a productive week and lots of great weather
including the T-storms and a trip home
to look at some houses with Chelsey,
yes, she is looking to make the big move.
Well, l have virtually completed the entertainment center
here at the cabin.
Only thing left is a couple of catches for the doors.





































The big door on the right is for the portable AC unit.
We just got tired of looking at it and since it is only used on very hot days,
thought it should just disappear.
Switch for fireplace with an outlet for what ever, just seemed like a convenient place.
Door on left end is for access to the UPS unit so we don't have to reprogram
every time we loose power, and for some minor storage.
Door on the wall is to hide the electric service subpanel,
been planning that one for years and finally got it done.
Bottom below the fireplace heat duct is a future drawer for DVD's and such.
The fun part was creating the duct from the heat output on top of the fireplace unit
and getting it to come out the bottom and including a duct booster fan to insure air flow.
It was a fun and frustrating (at times) project and seemed to turn out well.
Time will age the wood to match the walls and ceiling in about 10 to 20 years.

That's about it for today
now to head home and get the house painted.
Ain't retirement great!
