50th Anniversary Weekend

 Jeff and Julie came home to celebrate our 50th anniversary.  We did a photo shoot at the cabin.  We also spent a night sleeping in the cabin.

 The little wood stove has done a good job heating the cabin.

 Stairs up to the sleeping loft.

 Porches - a good thing and a good view.

 Next project - chinking.

 Electricty to the cabin.

 Weston says "its a good view"

Porch - great place for a rock and a chat.

Early Sketches

 Found the sketches from when the cabin was just in the 'something I'd like to do' stage.

We haven't stopped working....just posting

 

Sorry for the long delay

since the last post.  We've made progress!

 

 

 Hired some of the local Amish to come help put the roofing on.  Love this photo of their hats resting on one of the bushes when they came in to eat lunch.  Their youngest helper was about 7 years old - he was full of ideas of how things should be done.

 

 Steep angle on the roof allows for sleeping loft.

 Have had a beautiful fall - this Ash tree on the West Side of the cabin really put on a show.

 

North side of the cabin - not much exposure to the winter winds with only one window.  Should be 'snug as a bug'.

West side (door enters bedroom area).   Bathroom will be where the little window is.

 

Rafters and Porch

Alex's week on the farm

 Working on the porch.

 We've got rafters!

Beautiful sunset after a rain.

View out a cabin window.

 We'll need to learn how to 'chink' soon.
