The Swamphouse

[Swamp_Yankee]

Going to make the walls from the scraps of this latest project.  Replaced an 80 year old window and covered over some old plaster and lath walls with this barn siding.  It's actually OSB that's stamped to look like T-111 that comes primed for paint.  I'll use it for the walls below the safety/shooting rail:

Still have to trim out the window and the crown.

Finished the window and the wall:

Framework going up:

Almost there.  I'm going to get a heavy truck tarp and drape it over the ridge board you see protruding from the front.  I left it long so that I can drape the tarp out about 2' so as to create an overhang.  I'm also going to rig a pulley from it so that I can haul gear up easily.  The sidewalls are 30" high-I'm going to tarp the sides so that I have a shooting window about 12" high on each side:

Looking east toward the creek and my neighbor's field:

"Done," at least for now:

 

There are a few little things to do, but for now it will keep the rain and snow off (good thing with this weather we have coming in) for Muzzy/6 Day coming up.

I like the haul rope pulley that you have set up there.
