It was such a pretty day in the Northwest! Finally some sunshine and a beautiful view of
Mt. Hood on the way up to the cabin. We
had Samuel's soccer game in Hillsboro at 9am, and then we headed up to the mountain...
The kitchen cabinets are going in, bathroom tile is done,
and the flooring is almost done! Well,
not the living room re-finish, but that will be later (HUGE thank-you to my
mom, who gifted us that part of the remodel, as it was the last missing piece
to getting “Frank” looking up to snuff.)
It is amazing to see the transformation of this special place. We still have 2-3 weeks of not being able to
“stay the night” but we can see the end.
And the great thing is? No more
icky smells and odd odors. We walked in
today, and it smelled fresh!
We delivered a few things for the contractor today, but
mostly just wanted to get up there and see the changes with our own eyes! The sun was shining bright, and it was the
first day the kiddos just got to play outside and enjoy it. They stayed out the whole time, ran around,
dug for worms, played ninja, and burned some energy! Joe removed the ugly trellis (we have a plan
to restore the cool screens of yesteryear) and cleaned some gutters out.
Because there wasn’t a lot of “work” to do, we all took a walk
to the Brightwood store and let the kiddos pick out a treat. It was such a nice day, and the walk was a
fun adventure. We even had a gang of
motorcycles pass by, wave and honk (Rachel loved it!)
I was reminded today of the wonderful sound of the river,
refreshing breeze, and awesome mountain smells.
I can’t wait to be able to stay overnight!

ReplyDeleteReally looking good. Too bad the appliances didn't work out, but glad you will get new ones. New is always best. Can hardly wait to see in person.
