SuperClamps (aka Donald and Randall Bowman) have made their contribution for all the hangers in the cabin, out on the deck and along the entrance stairs.

These are Super Hang-alls. Take a minute and look at the site: http://www.superclamp.net/ Go to the gallery for the Hang-alls and see the potential.

We will have shovel and broom holders on the entrance steps, in the cabin, and on the deck.

Helmet and coat hangers in the cabin for the wet gear to dry.

This is an awesome contribution and we are very appreciative. A high end plastic product with no rusting and no mickey mouse hooks. These are man-sized hooks!

They did the same for the new cabin at Boulder as well. Awesome standup peeps with a great product.

Thanks Glen. We are going to see what the traffic patterns are like around the stove before we get carried away with the drying rack that SnowandMud so graciously donated the money for. Give us a little time and we will getter done.

The whole system that the Bowman's have is incredible. I have 6 (yes 6) clamps for different trailers I have and a LEAST 80ft of the Superglides for different trailers and sled decks.

I agree with you totally. I have used 64' of glides on my present truck/deck/ramp and the same number on the previous truck. A great product.

The SuperClamps (2 sets front and rear), I have had since 08 and have never looked back. I posted this picture earlier, the sled never moved.....

BTW, I am in the process of formulating my list for the volunteers on our cabin build. I will get it to you. Weather is closing in and there are a few things to doo yet.

That picture was taken over at Castlegar. We were coming down the mountain on a FSR from riding and it had about 6" of heavy, wet snow and the road had just been graded but not sanded and it was very slippery. Low range 4x4 and it still slid. The right front tire broke through the berm and the left front didn't quite make it through and that saved me. It was a little scary. Two trucks couldn't pull it out, so we chained up the Ford diesel all around and that did the deed.

As I said, the SuperClamps held the Doo in place and it never moved.

As for JoHNI_T....................hahahaha I couldn't resist this one again!

in the car business,,, we call this "being welded to your trade" that means your not getting out easy hahahah thanks again FS that was great timing!!! and thats why I only own 1 sled now a days

 

[ferniesnow]

Little things take so long to get done! The railings on the steps, the cutting of the posts, and the post caps took most of the day. I will put all the spindles on tomorrow and get started on the tin on the outhouse.

It is a pretty easy drive from your neck of the woods. See you in Saskatoon!

I haven't posted pictures of the work that has been done lately. So here you go. The outhouse is looking good with both toilets installed, tin on the roof and 2 walls. The front wall will be T&G. All the stairs are complete with railings and spindles and the insulation/poly is done.
