Number of years we have been working on the cabin
We are into our fifth year working on our cabin in the woods. I am amazed how quickly the time has gone. It really doesn’t seem like we have been at this for five years already. Last year we built a sauna with a wash up room and a changing room. We are really enjoying having some place to clean up this year. We are off the grid (no connection to public utilities) and we do not have running water. We did have a well drilled last year so we can now get clean water without having to walk down to the lake and carry it up a bucket at a time. Besides which I struggle to carry a full bucket of water so I tend to only carry a half a bucket at a time.
This year we are working on finishing off the bunk room. When this is done, the entire first floor of the cabin (20 feet by 32 feet) will be finished. We built a closet with storage and book shelves. We also installed batten boards on the ceiling along with bead boards. We put a wave trim around the ceiling. Now we will put one or more additional coats of poly on the floor. The last thing to do is to plan and build the Queen size bunk beds.
How long have you been working on your cabin? What projects are you currently involved in doing? Do you have a way to keep track of what you have been doing and how long it has taken you? We keep track by writing on a calendar at the end of each day we are at the cabin what we accomplished that day.
