All Done!

I've finished up all that I can do on the cabin for 2010. I've arrived back home in California and I can't believe how the fall colors are just beginning to turn here. It was a wonderful summer, I feel so accomplished, and I learned so much. It did take longer than I expected, but by one measure, I finished early. Melanie says when building, everything will take twice as long and cost twice as much as expected. I thought maybe I could finish in three months, so the fact that it took me five months instead of six means I finished a whole month early!!! Wow, that's incredible! But Lynea isn't buying it. Oh well, she still seems to like me and I've agreed to not take any more trips that don't have an end date.

Since last post, I finished putting on the house wrap, installed all my windows and doors, and buttoned up all the final details.



Here are a bunch of photos I took since my last post.









Here are some interior photos








Here is a little mock-up of the kitchen cabinetry

  2. What a fantastic accomplishment!

    Now, with the exterior wrapping and installation of the windows & doors the building looks like a cozy home.

    Welcome back to warm(er) California Mr. Wheeler!
