THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS

OK,  we've had some wonderful early spring weather here in Provo and the mountains have been melting.  So we started making plans and the rush is on to get down to the cabin site and start building.  The roads are there, the terraces are there for the big shed and garage and we're ready to trench in the power.  Jim is watching the nearest web cam of the area almost every day.  It's not much to look at, but it does show the snow fall on the ground.
It was almost all gone a week ago and we knew once gone we had to wait about a week for the roads to dry before attempting passage up the mountain without a four wheel drive.  Well today we get a notice from the local ski resort about 20 miles from the cabin site, Brianhead.  They received 18 inches of snow in the past 24 hours.  Current conditions?  It's snowing.

Oh mother of all that's snowy, why?  Why me?  We know it's early and we should be patient.

1st Owner/Builder Meeting

Jim had this first Owner/Builder meeting with his two new "clients" tonight.  They asked how their house was coming and how far along he had got.

Jim told him had had bought two windows,  and had bought trim for the livingroom, and told them what he had accomplished in the past couple of weeks.

The clients (Mahayla and Brea) felt he had done adequate work in the past couple and we happy with what he had to report and the progress....

Ok, so, I know this doesn't have anything to do with building the cabin...  it's just so cute to see..

Giggle.

Windows and Walls....

Jim and I went out on Saturday to purchase a few things for Jim's new clients, Mahayla and Brea.. We bought two windows for the front and the back of the playhouse, and today Jim bought 2x4's.  It's kind of fun putting this little project together...

Another little adventure...

A MOST IMPORTANT BUILDING PROJECT

Jim sat down with some very important clients tonight, to discuss a building project.  They made a list of everything they wanted in their house, including a tv with a remote, intercom between houses, bunk beds, a porch, shutters on the windows, big windows, a door with a door handle and a circular window above the door. They want it pink and purple. Jim was so cute and attentive to all their suggestions and even made notes on the plans and "red lined" the plans to their specifications.

They signed off on the plans, and Jim is ready to build.  Both clients said that they would help with the project.

It was so cute, and Mahayla and Brea are excited for their "house".

Another house project for "Papa"...
