The Cabin
It's been right around 2 months since they started building our cabin up in the woods. They have moved pretty fast, considering it snowed up there twice... in May! They have had some other inclement weather as well but they've kept pace.
Anyway, I'm so excited I can't even think straight. Holly and I have been purchasing furniture for it so it's been feeling even more real to me lately.
Plus, we've put up a webcam that takes a picture of the progress every hour. You can see that at http://cabincam.vanlewclan.net/ or by clicking on the "Cabin Cam Site" link in the related links section on the right-hand side of this page.
The last update I heard (which was actually about a month ago) was that they were anticipating being done by the end of August. We are all crossing our fingers that we'll get to spend Labor Day weekend up there to break 'er in. That would be awesome!
Wish we were there
Since Holly and I had Friday through Monday off, we decided to beat the (relative) heat and go up to the cabin.
As soon as we got there, we realized it my have been a bad idea. It reached all of about 55 degrees and dropped into the low 30s at night. Man, it was cold!
We got there Friday afternoon and left Sunday morning at about 7:30AM. We wanted to be home in time to watch the Cardinals play (what a game that was, by the way).
Anyway, it's now Sunday afternoon and I'm on the back patio typing this. It's about 85 degrees right now and absolutely beautiful.
Wish you were here?
