Sorry for the prolonged absence. My parents are in town and on top of our usual work/family balancing act, we're making as many repairs to the cabin as we can while they're around to help. So far, it's going well. As I write this, they're out there waiting to meet a charity that will pick up all the furniture and household items that have gathered over the past three decades.
So far, we've:
- cleaned out the kitchen cabinets (I shouldn't say "we". Mom did this solo.)
- blazed a new "drive way" thanks to Dad and his chain saw
- packed up all the old household stuff and sorted into "keep - send back to Grandpa", "donate", and "toss"
- stood around and pondered new furniture configurations
- bought the items necessary to repair the washing machine and the exhaust fan in the girl's bathroom (the old one apparently made quite the cozy abode for a squirrel at some point)
- kept two small children from going crazy from boredom while we accomplished the above
I thought I'd share pictures with you so you can see what we're up to. First up: "Before: Cabin as Vacation House"
