Well, the wood burning stove pipes were fixed and Jim was able to have a warm, cozy fire in the cabin for a couple of days.... and, then... it warmed up again and there was no need for a stove. But, while it was cold, the fire kept his tootsies warm and cozy. (I think the stove looks positively beautiful and inviting...)
The work preparing the planks for the ceiling continues... There's a whole lot of work to be done BEFORE it gets installed...
Here's the wood planer all covered up before it started raining... But, uncovered it does a fabulous job making the planks looks beautiful.
And, it does an amazing job making loads and loads of saw dust. This is about the amount of sawdust it produces in a 30 minute period.
And, here's what the camera on the balcony caught.... some guy stealing our planks... actually, it's Jim carrying the planks onto the deck so he would plane them.... He just looks sneaky. Giggle...
And, I believe these are planed and ready to be covered in shellac.
And, here's the product all painted, drying and ready for installation.
Jim put a couple of the boards up to see what they looked like, and I really like it. I think it's the right application.
We had the first cupboard made for the kitchen. A gentleman at work made them, and did an amazing job. It still needs a little bit of fine tuning, but the construction is amazing. Two more have been made, but not installed yet.
We got a weather advisory telling us there was going to be a major rainstorm from Thursday to mid Saturday, and the weather man was correct! It started looking overcast and dark on the Thursday morning, and continued on until Saturday night.. Looks really ominous.
While it was pouring rain, Jim continued on with the sheetrock in the bedroom...
...and actually completed the part behind the headboard...
When Jim is at the cabin, I always try and send him a care package... usually filled with building materials and treats. And, I always send cookies. I didn't know, that whenever I sent oatmeal raisin cookies, this is how they arrive. I didn't have a clue... Jim sent me this picture and said not to worry... they eat the same as the round cookies... Giggle.
| Service Location: | BRYCE WOODLANDS |
| Service: | COOP Provided Electric Service |
| Amount: | $57.22 |
| Due Date: | Nov 5, 2025 |
We get a monthly electric bill for the cabin, and this is the first time in all the years we have been building, that the bill went over $50.00! Jim usually now goes for a couple of weeks at a time, and this is the result! There is a base price of $36.00 a month... so we are really rockin' here!
I found this towel holder a couple of weeks ago, and I think it's going to look great with the rest of the wrought iron in the bathroom. It's unusual, but it'll go really well.
And, here's my baby maple trees that eventually will be planted at the cabin. These babies are going to spend the winter in the house, in the warm before moving down south. I think the winter will be too cold, and living in the house will give them a little bit more growing time...I've got a silver maple and a red maple... It's the Canadian in me coming out.
With that, this edition ends.... the adventure continues...
Love, Jim and Cheri
