Great day yesterday cutting trees and clearing for a new remote cabin. 10 yrs in the making, finally pulled the plug to start. Cabin will be used for hunting and a place to get away. My buddy got the land on the remote staking program in Ak, can only reach it by boat in the summer and sleds in the winter.fa2532e1180a2d96e8b94bcd43fb70d6.jpg

That is awesome very jelous please keep us updated.

I will post pictures as we move along. Hardest part is timing the river to be able to haul our materials in, floor material next week and then walls after that. This thing called work is getting in my way, if I hadn't started a new position in the company I would take a week off.

Thats awesome!!! How far of a trip is it from where you park the truck/car to the property?

 

Sounds similar to my in-laws cabin in Northern Ontario. It's either across the lake by boat or sled to get to the cabin.

 

Looking forward to pics of the progress.

It's not that far, about 1 1/2 miles. It's secluded with no road noise. Not much progress lately as schedules and weather don't want to work in our favor. Ice is starting to get questionable too, broke through this past weekend while hauling the floor material

Going good, got most of the floor material hauled in this weekend after a fiasco last weekend of going swimming in the river. Picture is the hole my sled and I created in chest deep water at 2 above on the thermometer. Did not get a pic of the sled still in the water as I was worried about getting it out and then dry clothes and warmth for me. 43fee845c2150eaf26db36d352490f26.jpg

Loads 1 and 2 for the day, one more day of hauling and we start building. This thing called work is really putting a damper on things.

Flooring about done, long day thawing the ground to set the pillar blocks, beams and joists. Ice decided not to stick around on the river so now have to wait so I can get my boat in the water to finish building.

Very cool! What's it look like now?

Funny you ask as I was getting ready to post a few pics. Last wall and roof tomorrow, fingers crossed.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
