    That aluminum is used in roll up doors /gates, previous owner probably has free access to it because it’s expensive. That’s a great project, I’ve done a few just like that in less desirable places. I’d do this one just to be in the woods all day.

They use this house as a base for riding atvs, they gutted the inside and are now replacing the seals, it's closed up with heat and they now stay there while they work. Great video Dave, can't wait for the series of fixing this up.

    Not telling you what to do, because I am by far much dumber than the average person, but you might want to look into the lights that the Amish use in their homes. Apparently they churn out some warmth and it could offer you some warmth and light and flexibility on moving that light/heat to different areas of the house in case you need to block off the main heat space.
    Thank you and your family for sharing your journeys.
