Update on the Cabin - Thanksgiving Week

I'm still trying to catch back up! This was what we saw Thanksgiving weekend.
Let's start with Thanksgiving! Here's the family. . .

And Em made the pies - look how proud she is!!
Ava's newest trick is trying to cross her legs when she sits. . . .

And here's the Cabin!! We have felt on the roof. . . doors. . . windows
The back door. . . .

Here's our latest update!

Brad & I celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary on Nov 21, so we don't have a more recent update. The roof has been chosen, the doors & windows are now installed, the plumbing has been roughed in and the electrical is being done this coming week.

But here's what happened on Nov 15. . . which, by the way, was Mom's first time seeing construction!! The plywood is on the roof . . .

Here are the girls & Omp headed up the ramp to the front door.

Ava peaking in the clearstory windows in the living room.
Workers adding on to the chimney - the roof is steeper & taller, so the chimney needed to be extended.

Finishes & Details

So we've started picking some of the detail things & finishes. Here are the door knobs. Smart Key by KwikSet This is the front door.

These are all other interior & exterior doors - the finish is called Oil Rubbed Bronze.

We've chosen the exterior doors but I can't find a photo online & I don't have time to scan in the photo from my catalog. But, I do have the interior doors:

This is the vanity for both bathrooms - it comes as the set - mirror included!

The cabinets for the kitchen are Cambrian by Sunnywood .
Their website is not cooperating with me & you'll have to follow the link to see the photos of it. We're doing basic cabinets, no wine rack, no plate holders, no glass doors - just the basics. The counter has not been chosen but will be a laminate that looks like a beige granite.

I've ordered samples of the flooring - its looking like hardwood in the main living area, with cork everywhere else. We'll see.


I think that's it for now. I'd like to see it again before we leave but there just isn't time. A lot should be done by the time we come home. We need to be picking colors for the roof & the exterior siding. Windows have been ordered - they're a great color on the vinyl. Its not white, its not almond, they call it bronze but its like a dark taupe.

Oct 25 Cabin Update

Okay - we were up working again today. . . here's what we saw:

The old fireplace. . . and a few new walls!
The front door is right next to where the new wall is framed. You can see the master bath's window & the master bed's window, and part of the basement.

Here's the inside view - standing in the living room looking towards the kitchen & the master.

Standing in the kitchen looking towards the second bedroom with a clearstory window, and the laundry/mud room nook.

Standing in the kitchen looking towards the living room, out over the deck & into the meadow.

Inside the basement. Look now, this may be the only shots I take of this area! It will get a lot of insulation & possibly the washer & dryer.

The holes are crawl space access to under the rest of the cabin.

The infamous debris pile. It doesn't seem to have changed any.

One last shot - this may be the new driveway area.
