The Little White Cabin: The Family Sign Goes Back Up!

Another solid work weekend at the cabin… we made some decent progress on - and most importantly, we got our family sign back up today – YAY! That felt good!

Our contractor (Matt) has been making great progress during the week as well! He has been addressing Ruby’s mold/dry rot (siding), as well as one side of the cabin that had it too. He has gotten things cleaned up in the kitchen (under the sink, removing cabinets, etc.) and has been prepping the floors. We don’t have a bathroom right now, which is somewhat challenging – but the kiddos are learning the art of finding a good tree! J

We have had to change plans around, based on that crack in the kitchen – we can’t use tile flooring as there it too much risk for it to crack in the future. Matt also thinks he has come up with a plan to shore up cabin (kitchen/bathroom corner) and stop it from sinking – which means a HUGE difference in price (vs. having to have another company do something that costs much more than it’s probably worth.)

We painted today (bedroom and entry), and Joe also worked a lot on power-washing the patio areas. Rachel also fed the squirrels - and we watched one of them "go-to-town" on the peanuts today (it was fun to see "who" was eating them!)

It wasn’t raining today (finally!) so the kiddos were able to play outside quite a lot, which was fun. We walked to the river ledge together – the river is so high right now!

We are so excited to see the planning and hard work finally starting to come together. It will probably be another 6-weeks or so before it starts looking better, but getting closer!

It was a good day!

Going to the cabin - the kiddos are always ready to make this journey!

Leaving peanuts for the squirrels (this has turned into Rachel's job!)

Yay! Kitchen is getting fixed - no more gross, wet, moldy "ick."

Siding replaced on "Frank." (No it won't stay blue.) SMILE...

"Closet painting" - a safe place for Rachel to paint. :-) But she actually did a great job.

The patio - getting clean! This is such a great spot - the view is right out at the Salmon River.
I cannot wait to spend warm, summer evenings out here!
