CABIN UPDATE - FINISHING THE SIDING.
With the help of an incredibly enormous ladder borrowed from our neighbor, we finished a major chunk of the siding last week. This is something that has been weighing on Jesse's mind for a long time, and so it is a huge relief to have it done. We had gotten so used to seeing the cabin half-finished and covered in tar paper, it is sort of surreal to have it fully covered, our little sassafras home.- Hannah.
CABIN UPDATE: SIDING.
Jesse finished the back side of the house last week, and it is pretty awesome - basically because from a certain angle the cabin looks completely done! It is fun to be able to picture the end product. Only one more side and the gables to finish!
CABIN UPDATE: THE DETAILS.
Sometimes it really is the little things. I know this is the case for me. It is really the trim going up around the windows and doors, the shelves with our canned goods neatly arranged, the light switch covers and curtains and all the stupid things that don't matter - these are the things that make our house feel like our home. These are the things that start to make it seem finished, as unimportant as they are. I can slowly see the form taking shape with each tiny detail coming together.
And in BIGGER news - we are starting to side the cabin this weekend! Pretty excited/daunted by this.
We'll let you know how it goes!- Hannah.
