Hectic times in Beautiful Baldwinsville. Work has been uber busy, and a lot of misc. junk at camp.
Last Monday we got the camp surveyed for the elevation certificate, with any luck we'll get a break on flood
insurance, but I'll be watching to see how the quote comes in. Per the elevation certificate we're just above something called BFE, which makes
sense since people who've lived there decades say our camp has never had flood waters touch the main structure (and it doesn't look like it -- insulation under the first floor is clean). That said, it does have a skirt around the crawlspace, and even though there are plenty big enough openings we need to make sure they don't mess up on the interpretation of the surveyor writeup.
Pretty much completed the screening task, just finished up painting it yesterday. I'll replace the screens on the portion of the porch that actually touches the deck next Spring.
Putting the skirt back up on the crawlspace, the part that I'd taken off for building the deck. A PITA working with the corrugated metal panels. The portion under the deck itself is just getting a composite lattice, much easier to work with.
Got the ramps/platform done in the utility shed, so the little lawn tractor is above the floor. If a spring flood occurs, the area behind our camp is at a lower grade, as is most of the rest of the property along the lake -- if water reaches the tractor tires, time for an ark
Time for some electrical work, wiring in a motion detect light on the old bunkhouse entrance, and if the weather warms up again I may go for permanent lighting/power on the deck.
