Paint / weatherproof (medium priority)
- Paint window and door frames, one more coat needed.
Downstairs (medium priority)
- Cut plywood pieces to go at top of walls for insulating top of walls. Insulate. Ideas on how to insulate and seal off this cavity are welcome. 2x8 blocking might be painful to cut and install, and there is nothing good to nail plywood onto.
- Haul up the bench #1, which is down at the old hut.
- Build a permanent ladder to go upstairs. Currently using one of the construction ladders which is ok, but not great.
Attic walls (complete)
Heater & stovepipe (medium priority)
- Point where chimney goes through the roof needs to be insulated and draft proofed. There may be issues here with wind blowing water underneath the chimney flashing and into the hole in the roof.
- The metal sheet under the stove needs to be secured to the floor. Making a rounded wood moulding to fit around the metal sheet is probably the best option (to avoid catching your booties on the edge). A wooden edge would also nicely delineate an area for drying out boots, and keep water from melted snow at bay.
Painting, final coat (medium priority)
- Downstairs walls need another coat to cover the grey-blue paint underneather
- window trim boards need to be painted.
- Brushes, rollers and paint thinner are on site. An 8" cage and one clean roller are also on site.
Miscellaneous (low priority)
- Put rocks at the side of the Hut to keep wolverines from crawling under it.
- A small front porch or stairs would be nice. We have the wood as there is some pressure treated lumber and deck board up there to concoct some sort of porch and/or stairs leading up to the door. There are also some nice joists in the old hut that would be great for making stairs. Alternatively, these could be made out of stone, but that's a lot of work.
- Door ramp - it would be nice to add a small ramp to the door to make it easier to sweep dirt and snow out of the hut.
- Woodshed
- Coat hooks for hanging jackets, food, packs, etc. They need to be purchased and installed strategically.
- Create signs about the brew hut (and how to send us money) and get them laminated. Also need some new maps for the walls (NTS and TRIM), which should also be laminated.
- Clean up any building debris, ie MicroBrew, and convert it into firewood.
