We Have The Power!

We've made a couple of trips up in the last few weeks. The first of which we didn't do much. Mostly we just built some shelves and organized the shop building.

Oliver was having a blast digging in the mud.

You might say he got a little muddy.

Pathetic!

To get him clean, we decided to dip him in nearby Lake Hugo and spend the day at the beach.

Gotta even out those tan lines!

We all three got a nap in.

He loves to be carried like this!

We made up for not doing much that weekend the following weekend.

First, we vacuumed a pull rope through the previously buried conduit and then pulled our wire to our official RV hook up station location.

It wasn't the easiest thing to do. We ended up having to dig down and cut the conduit into sections to make it work.

Luckily it was easy to find.

After we pulled the wire we began to build the RV hook up station...

...and got it finished up. We left a notch in the slab to add our water spigot later on.

Eventually the driveway will circle around to a parking pad where RV-ers can pull up and hook up.

Next we temporarily set the exterior service panel (breaker box) at the location it will be attached on the side of the cabin. It's a 30 space, 200 amp job with plenty of room for the cabin, shop, outdoor kitchen, guest cottage and future expansion.

And from there we ran conduit and wire over to the workshop where we installed interior and exterior outlets and the interior and exterior LED lighting.

Meanwhile, my buddy John came up to clean and roll a new coat of roof sealer on his camper. I tell you, we can't thank him enough for letting us use it while we build. It is a life saver!

Now if all that isn't impressive enough, we did it all on the amount of solid sleep you get with a bunk mate who sleeps like this.

Can you tell how rested we are!

 Up next, we break ground on the cabin!
