>>812890And this is The New Cabin. In the winter of I think 77 my grandpa carted all the lumber across the frozen lake and then spent the summer building this with a couple other guys that we still see up there from time to time. And goddamn did he build it right. My grandpa didn't know what half-assing something was, so this will probably be standing for another 200 years.
>>812891If you look closely at the windows and doors you can see big wooden flaps that we shut when we're not there. They lock from the inside with threaded rods and the only way in to unlock them is by going through the back door, which we've got a big lock on. Realistically, though, someone could rip those window covers off with little effort. We mostly rely on the good of people, since it's in a pretty remote area, and most of the folk up there are nice enough to not be assholes. We've only had one thing happen (window broken and booze stolen) in the 40+ years we've had it. Probably drunks.
We've also got a caretaker that checks up on it every couple of months. He lives on the lake so it's no trouble for him.
