Update from the weekend!

What a crazy couple of days this has been!  We survived the weekend and a long Monday night working on the cabin with only one real snag when Alan was working on the beginning of the stairs/loft.  One of the beams he put in the wrong way and it seemed to take forever to get it back out without tearing down the whole wall area we so proudly put up.  I knew to get out of the way at that moment or possibly be the brunt of a large crow bar being thrown!  But he managed to get it out and install it the correct way and we moved on to working some more on the closet in our bedroom.

Here is a picture of the beginning of the stairs/loft area.


This is the start of our built in closet which will have drawers up the center and an area above to hang our TV. 


Monday night we got more help from Ethan.  Here he is marking out the sheeting for the bathroom and kitchen floors.


And here is Bryan, our brother-in-law helping bring in that day's lumber purchase.  Thanks Bry!


By the end of Monday night we were beat but we felt like we got a lot accomplished! This is the bathroom and kitchen floors with the view into our bedroom.  Next we will be finishing up the loft supports, framing the rest of the closet and framing the restroom.  We had more changes to the floor plan since I laid out the cabinets for the bathroom and kitchen so I hope to post those soon. 


We've had quite a busy couple of days and haven't had a chance to even step foot in the cabin but we hope to get back to work next week!

Lastly, I promised to post a pic of me doing some cutting, so..............ta da!!!

  1. It looks great! I can't wait to see the finished product :) Your life is going to be wonderful....and we will get our 'big' houses in the future, when it is not so hard (Isa 65:21,22). But until then, this is a great way to keep a sense of urgency! A wonderful lesson for our children, also....
