Dale and Audrey went down to Cabin 5 for the week of May 11 -15th to work. It's embarrassing when your mother-in-law does more work in your cabin than you do, isn't it... But hey, she's handy with insulation.
Dale was able to get a lot more of the drywalling done and when the boys and I came down on Friday the 15th I was surprised at how much 'smaller' the cabin looks with walls. We are beginning to think that we didn't make the living room area large enough, particularly now that the wood stove is jutting out into the room, but I guess we will still have the screen room for 3 seasons to spread out into. Gotta have decent sized bedrooms for all the grandchildren in about 20 years.....
Uncle Earl was busily helping wiring in outlets. Dale says Earl is much faster at it and is grateful for the help.
Friday night was freezing and snowing and we woke up to a very cold cabin 1 and snow all over the ground and trees. It didn't make any difference for working inside cabin 5 though as Dale had the wood stove on and Eddie and Dale and Gramma carried on. I actually did a little work too believe it or not, tuck-taping the screen room and the mudroom and helping with some drywall cutting. I mainly feed the troops now. My time will come with painting and other finishing! I actually am looking forward to painting.
Onwards and upwards,
About Me
- Lynn
- I'm a crabby, middle-aged woman who along with her family, is building a cottage at Ingolf, Ontario. The entire reason for having male children is becoming clear to me now. Cheap, forced labour. You want to eat? Sure, just as soon as 3 more sheets of drywall are up... Join me on this odyssey as we build Cabin Five at Ingolf and hopefully live to tell the tale.
