We had a shortened workday, having helped (minor roles) with a wedding Saturday, and going to church today (gotta go once in a while!!). But, as you can see below, we got the vanity into the bathroom, hooked up and operable. Plumbing is quite a mystery to me, despite the allegedly simple 2 rules . . . Also, Alisanne and our friend Beth Haase got a coat of decking coating on the bathroom floor Friday and we put another down today. Picture below. So, on to the kitchen area! Excelsior!!

June 2008 Update

Well, it's not like we've been exactly slothful. Not setting any construction speed records, either! Since December 2007, we have wired, had our rough-in electrical inspection (we passed), got power INTO the cabin (no more running extension cords to the construction box), put a ceiling in the bathroom, had the cabin insulated, driven to Minnesota and back in 2 days to pick up pine tongue & groove paneling (more on that later), bought a drywall hoist we decided we don't need, ordered our kitchen cabinets and counter, got hot water, slept in the cabin overnight three times, paneled the bathroom, and started paneling the kitchen area! It all takes so much time, working a few hours here & there. We forget our camera more often than we remember it (had to use my brother's this weekend), question our sanity for that and other reasons, but we LOVE working on our cabin, and are beginning to think we will actually finish it. Someday. Here are few recent pictures to show where we are. More will get posted on our Picasa sight. Someday . . . . ;<)
