Because of the snow this year it was tough getting into the cabin. We were not able to get in until June 25th, and the water running in the river is the highest anyone can remember (40+ years). Art and Ray Maxwell and Earl Coombs came up and worked on shoring up the foundation for the front bedroom. It turns out there was cement holding the post in place but the post had rotted out at ground level and the cabin was sinking……. We jacket the front of the cabin up about 8 inches, which leveled the floor in the room. A side effect was that we had to take out the window on the stair side of the room and reset the window. We also got the upstairs loft window replaced.
Steve Coombs and Family and Earl Coombs were at the cabin working on July 2nd and got most of the insulation in and puttying done on the pine paneling.
Linda and Ray were up on July 9th and finished sheet rocking the front bedroom, and part of the loft. In the front bedroom all the taping is done and the first coat of mud is in place. We also put in the attic vent.
It looks very inviting, which is funny since I’m not much of an outdoorsman.
