Scott: The GNC project part 4

Originally this weekend was reserved to take the coach to have the refrigerator repaired under a Dometic recall. Apparently on a rare instance the refrigerator in the coach was know to catch fire when a boiler tube cracked, so there is now a fix for that and our coach was included.

We were then going to take the coach to Stony Point on Leech Lake for the rest of a long weekend, but with the GNC project on our plate we thought we would be better off spending the time getting that done than laying around and relaxing. I guess there is truly no rest for the wicked.

First thing Friday morning we had to get the coach out of it parking spot at the lake and on the road.

Its a little over an hours drive to the repair facility and that passes quickly and we were there.

The repair is only a 45 minute job so while we browsed around all the new RVs they fixed the refrigerator and we were back on the road towards the lake again.

Margaret worries about details sometime, but after the coach is repaired and back on the road it appears that the “Fear is Gone” as she kicks back and enjoys the ride.

In no time the coach is back in its spot, lunch is finished and we are on our way to the lumber company for shingles to finish the GNC.

Back to the Lake an hour later and I’m up on the roof to make the GNC water tight. If you look closely you can see the shingles don’t quite match. Unfortunately GAF the manufacturer of our shingles on the shed doesn't make that exact color anymore and we had to make due with the closest thing there was.

Typically shingling take a while, but the roof is small and with the nailing gun I have the roof shingled by the end of the day. That's good because I hate shingling!

Early the next day we made a supply run to Bemidji’s Home Depot & Walmart there to get windows and other materials vital to the building process such as beer, wine and food. Once we were back it was time to start on the framing for the windows that were going into the GNC.

Framing always goes fast and soon its starting to look like the building it’s suppose to be.

The Walmart stop earlier in the day provided a great dinner, Margaret’s tendency to be a firebug along with the scrape wood from the building provided a great fire.

The next morning I started building windows for the peak of the shed and putting in the windows we had purchased for the side walls while Margaret stained. While not yet ready for prime time things are starting to come together on the inside
