Mike and Katie's Cabin

Welcome to our "blog"!!! We hope to share with you the journey we will take as we build our little dream cabin at our property in the Southern Tier of WNY.

Name:
Location: New York State, United States

I am a high school science teacher and my wife is a middle school counselor. We have two boys and a German Shorthaired Pointer named Jager!! We both love the outdoors and spending time at our property!

Happy Holidays

Well...it has been some time since my last update!! We sure have gotten a lot done in the last few months! The cabin is almost completely sided and we finally were able to get all of the insulation in. The electrical inspector came out and we passed the inspection. Congratulations to my electrician!! I highly recommend him and he works cheap. The only stipulation is you have to be genetically related to him...and he has to have raised you from birth!!

We spent a lot of time in the fall doing some odds and ends and I was even able to shoot a nice doe in late gun season in the back corner of our property!

We look forward to lots of progress this spring, summer and fall!! Hope to see y'all out there!!



Here are two of my union fiberglass insulation installers on one of their "contractual breaks"

I just cannot believe how BEAUTIFUL this place is looking. You have done a great job Mike and Katie. The design is amazing, I know the boys will be proud to call this their second home! But you know they will fight over who gets it when you hit the dirt (by the way, Mike, since you have a vacation home, I get the RV....)
