snowdevil:

That build really turned out super.:D

Enjoyed the pictures and what a great framing job you all did...:)

What are your plans for the inside?:

[snowdevil]

I would like to finish it off real nice so I am open to ideas and suggestions but I am thinking about a metal cieling like my roof [white] and a mix of wood and metal walls with some nice work bench and storage shelfs and cabinets for all that seasonal stuff. this is our camp in maine and we do alot of snowmobiling and 4 wheeleing out of there so storage is going to be key.

Snowdevil I have been up to Maine in the fall but never during the winter. It just does not have the humidity we have down south here. Our air is like "Pea Soup" this week. I have never been inolved in winter sports but I can see it must be fun. Will you be heating and insulating?

[snowdevil]

I will put a gas heater out there next year for when and id we have to doo some repair and maintence work on the sleds. I am hoping to get it insulated this fall. still looking for some good ideas for the interior finish. here are a couple of sledding pictures for all that live in the south.

Thanks Snowdevil,

Those are some great looking toys. I bet they can get up and go. All the pics of the snow cooled me off. I can see how nice that country is up there in the winter. Down here folks ride in the woods on atvs, lots of mud but no snow..;)

My grandson just came back from the pool. It is still hot and humid in the deep South.:)

Keep us up to date on any new work you do.:D
