Hunting Camp Kitchen remodel

[Confederate_Jay]

Our lease has 2 old office trailers that the landowner joined together and put up there to give hunters a place to stay in. It definately is nothing fancy but it does give those who don't own campers a place to sleep and all of us decent bathroom facilities. It had a little makeshift kitchen but it was not very sanitary, there was no storage and it was cramped.

My buddy Marc (Gahunter13) and I were fortunate enough to get a load of cabinets out of some apartments being torn down. So we undertook a little project.

We tore out the old stuff, took out the walls in the first little office or bedroom past the "kitchen" to make the area big enough to cook and eat in. The floor was in bad shape and unlevel so we had fix it by overlaying plywood. We moved the outlets up higher on the wall so they would be above the counters. We ended up buying two new 12 ft countertops from Lowes since all the tops we had were either 24 or 36" long and we would have had to cobble them together. We have a full sized stove to put in the place of the old 24 inch dinosaur that was there, and we had some tall ones to install on an opposite wall to frame the fridge. We still have to cut out / install the sink, and hook up the plumbing.

We aren't done but we made a pretty good showing for a weekend's work.

We have 9 members- 8 deer hunters and 1 turkey hunter- 6 of the 8 deer guys were there working on the project.... the other 2 live a long long ways off
(Michigan and South Fla)

Our Turkey hunter works straight weekends.

C-Jay,

Where would a person go about finding these "office trailers"? Is this like these moduler building you see at schools and construction site? Where can a person try to find something like that?

I understand they are insulated and suitable for installing a window air conditioner and a floor heater can be used. I'm not interested in it having anything but empty on the inside-- space to put a few cots abd store our stuff.

I've seen 'em on Craigslist mainly- Auctions and Camper sales lots have sometimes too.
I think these were bought from an auction at the Savannah River Nuclear Site a long time ago.

Looks good Jay. Just make sure that any recepts that you moved up that are close to the sink needs to be GFCI protected. Would hate to see someone get lit up at deer camp.

Yeah we talked about that. We are gonna swap the oulets. When we moved the oultlets up on the walls we werent really sure exactly where the sink, stove etc were going to be until we got all the bases in and laid them out. We unhooked the stove outlet and it wound up working out that it fell in the same spot. The cabints came out of 4 different apts in a unit slated to be torn down, so we just got what we could and then arraged what we had. Worked out really well though.
