Scary Cabin

As the main living areas of the cabin enter the final stages, there aren’t the “BIG” projects happening to report on. Instead we’ve been doing a lot of smaller details.

The junk pile was getting large so we took half a day to load up the trailer and make a dump run. With Barbara and Larry’s help we managed to get almost all the junk (with the exception of the metal pile) gone. Since the trailer was hooked up we also filled it up with yard rakings. Larry dug out the remaining cement blocks that made up the ugly garden.

Inside, the door hardware was installed in the upstairs doors so we can now actually close the bathroom door. The bathroom got a towel bar and a shiny tile backsplash. More caulk was applied on various door trim and baseboards around the cabin. Seem like the cabin is being held together with caulk given how many tubes we’ve used so far.

Started work on trimming the pocket door in the down stairs bedroom, but ran out of door casing before it was completed. Since the utility room still needs to be gutted, no trim work on that side of the door can be installed yet.

Started on the kneewalls in the back bedroom upstairs. We did some of the internal framing and put some drywall up for the dog cubbies. Yes, the dogs get their own bedrooms upstairs. Each will be about 10 sq. ft. and finished to match the rest of the room. We may utilize some of the upper space for a drawer. We know Sandie likes enclosed areas, but Duke seems a little leary of them. Hopefully once they’re all set up with comfy beds he’ll want to make use of it.
