Thank the lord baby Jesus that's over with.
Spent the last few weeks hauling materials out to the cabin for this years work.
Took out 2,500#'s of roofing, 4,000#'s of cedar and 14,000#'s of Hardie Plank siding.
All by snowmobile!!!!
Got about 1,000#'s to go out tomorrow and I can relax a while.

















Spring is always the hardest part of the year for me with all this hard work after a long winter.  ;)

Wow. And to think I've been worrying about the logistics of getting things up my hill!

I've got a hill too!!!
From the lake to the cabin is 200' horizontal and it gains about 100' in vertical in that distance.

Did all that come in on the komatik?  What's your tow machine?

It's Snap-Lok by Westman Steel here in Canada.
It's their hidden fastener standing seam offering.

Yes and no. I'm lucky enough to have an ice road that passes my cabin about 1/2 mile off shore.
I haul the materials out on a 16 foot 14,000 GVWR car trailer.
I load onto the komatik there and run it up to the cabin.
My tow machine is an '08 Yamaha RS Venture GT. Not a good towing machine due to the gearing but it does the job.
The trail from the lake to the cabin needs work too which doesn't help things. I gain about 100' of elevation between the lake and front of the cabin with a pretty steep section right near the end. I have to take it easy as I can spin the track pretty easily there.
I can't take big loads but the short distance doesn't hurt when you have to do a big load of trips.
Last year I kicked up a rock and punctured the rad so had to borrow a buddies Polaris 550 fan machine and it was much better at towing than my heavy over powered beast.



This is a shot sitting at the shore where my trail comes out.
You can see my truck off in the distance.
