Wintertime Update

Well, we have been busy celebrating the holidays with our family and friends!! But now that the holidays are over...it is time to get back to work. I must say, by the time October and November came around, I was pretty burnt out. But I am now energized and ready to go! I also received news that my wife and I are expecting our first child this July. We are very excited. I better get this cabin finished so we have a place to take Moose's brother or sister.

We have had a very unseasonable winter so far. Hardly any snow and fairly warm temperatures. This past weekend I was able to head up to the cabin and get a few things done. I was able to finish cutting the flooring around the stairs and I started to frame in the bathroom. This is all bonus time as far as I am concerned.

I was also able to visit the Amish lumber mill and pick up the maple I had cut up. Hopefully we can get to work on the kitchen cabinets too! I am going to try and head up this coming weekend as well, since the weather looks decent.
