Sorry but there are no pictures with this update. I left my camera at home and didn’t think about it until I got half way up Provo Canyon. But I do want to give the family an update on the state of the Cabin and what I got done up there this past weekend.
I went up Friday morning after picking up a rough nail gun to do the work I had planned for the weekend. Last week I picked up the four windows that are left to be replaced at the cabin. I only took up two of the windows this week because I was working alone, and I know me, if I had taken the 6 foot window that goes in the front bedroom, I would have tried to put it in myself. LOL.
I am working hard to get the front bedroom prepped for Sheet rock before winter sets in and stops the work till spring. This weekend I replaced the small window in this room, did all the electrical wiring, and finished all the rough framing so that sheet rock can be put in. Next weekend I plan on replacing the large window and finish insulation. With that the room is ready to rock, paint and carpet!!!!!!
I also did the finish trim on the back of the bathroom door. Which completes the work needed in the bathroom.
I also did the rough framing in the loft for sheet rock. I analyzing the loft I thought it would be appropriate to put a wall at the top of the stairs on the left hand side at you go up the stairs, and talked it over with Earl and he agreed. (This is the side that has the double bed in it.) Talking to my daughter she reminded me that when they were kids, the only place they could change cloths was in the far back corner of the loft. This wall will allow some privacy for those who stay upstairs. It will also look better from the great room because it will hide the area of the loft, from below, which will have sheet rock on it. The added benefit is that it will provide a third area for adults to sleep if three couples want to go up at the same time to the cabin. This is a simple fix that will only require 10 to 12 2X4 studs and about an hour of work to rough frame it in.
I will take pictures this next weekend and get them posted. (I know we gotta have the eye candy)

Oh goodness Ray! Thank you so much for all the work you are doing to make the cabin a great place for all of us! I so wish we lived closer so Harvey could help you, he has spent hours working on the cabin under Grandma Coombs direction and loved the weeks he spent there! Thanks again, it is greatly appreciated!
