July 7-9, 2008

Alisanne & I worked on walls & windows Monday-Wednesday. We really were puzzled as to how to trim our windows, given the non-standard construction of the cabin. I think that on Tuesday,we spent three hours discussing (OK, occasionally arguing) about how it should be done. Since between us we have ZERO experience, what we found to argue about now escapes me . . . . But, anyways the sun always comes up in the morning, and Wednesday morning, we arrived at a solution. It may not be elegant, but it seems to work. So, we now have ONE more or less completed window, and a PLAN for the rest. Pictures below.

4th of July weekend 2008

This weekend (4th of July), we got the kitchen paneling up. We didn't waste a panel (much to my surprise), and the lines all match up! Then, we hired John Young (Mary Ells' brother) to install our cabinets. He started around 9am Sunday, and was all done--including cutting out the hole for the sink--by 4:30pm. He had to do some minor plastic surgery (yuk yuk) on the counter, but, like any talented plastic surgeon, made it look better than it had! The water isn't hooked up to the sink yet, but the kitchen looks pretty cool, we think!
