This past weekend we made our way out to the property for the 1st time since Christmas break. Unfortunately, the good fairy didn't come along and complete it for us, but at least we had a cabin to finish under 1 1/2 feet of snow. We must be doing something right when it comes to construction. I told Bryant to give me the grunt work, because I didn't want to think. I spent my first hour sweating from clearing snow off of the roof and generator shack. Later on, I became Bryant's helpful assistant and go-for. Here's an excerpt from an email Bryant sent a friend regarding our cabin progress."I got eight sheets put on the walls of the cabin today. Doesn't sound like much and it's not. But it's starting to look pretty nice. There's probably two more days of wall sheathing, one day for floor and door, one day putting up ceiling, one day to install the window and get the stovepipe through the roof, two days of stove installation, one day for wiring, four days for building counters and beds, two days to finish log railings and posts, one day to build the ladder and ten days to do the unexpected. Almost done."
Knowing we have about 8 days a month to work on the cabin, we actually might finish this project about the same time the mosquitoes start biting in May.
