Plans of Metamorphisis: Mundane to Modern

The purpose of this blog is to document a rather large project that I have undertaken together with my father-in-law.  He and I have owned a half-acre piece of cottage property about 100 km north of Winnipeg for about 8 years now.  We’ve been camping on the property and have constructed a small bunkhouse.  We’ve decided to take the plunge and build ourselves a cabin; a reclaimed cabin.

This is the building that we are going to use.  It was once a dining hall for a camp that was run by the local school division.  It is a single story dwelling with a metal roof and rough cut poplar siding.  It is roughly a 1000 sq ft and about 25 years old.  It has some interesting features including a 200 amp service.  There is a small kitchen, two bathrooms, and another small room.  Half of the building is completely open from one end of the building to the other.  It needs some tlc and a complete rennovation plan.

  1. I love this project. It is something I dream to do myself one day. I am a carpenter in Pennsylvania. I make furniture out of reclaimed material and broken antique furniture. MY work can be seen at http://www.adamcapone.com

    I look forward to seeing more of your project
