A lot has been going on at the cabin as we dodge snow, followed by 70 degrees followed by snow. Here are some of the big updates:

  • A nice 24″ blanket of blown in fiberglass went in over an inch of spray foam in the attic
  • Grading is almost done with all gutters in and all downspouts going into underground piping to keep water away from the cabin
  • Retaining walls have been built to get the proper pitch and grade
  • Gutters are up all around
  • New stone wall has been installed near the front door and along the porch side
  • New engineered flooring was installed over the radiant heat subfloor
  • The old bathroom got a new look with exposing a log wall and putting up new Duragroove paneling on three walls and the ceiling
  • Original floors have been sanded down and will be stained and finished this week
  • The water softener system has been installed with a sediment filter, pH adjuster, iron/manganese filter, water softener, and a coconut/carbon final filter. With these, we will not need drinking water faucets or a separate RO system.
  • LP tank has been moved and new LP line trenched in to the Generac backup generator and to the cabin itself
  • Electrical work continues with all attic work completed and began to get interior rough work done in some areas and fixtures installed in other areas
New retaining walls, new Carrier A/C system, and Generac Backup Generator
