Chris spent the first solo night at the cabin and kept the progress moving. I bet a wood stove would have been nice last night, huh? It won't be long now.
Last winter, we bought a 1x6 window from a bargain outlet store. The window was like $60 and it has been sitting in my basement for a year. We decided to take it up and find a place for it. Lucky for us, it fits exactly in the barn door space. Our plan is to cut down the doors about a foot and slide the window in the space above the doors. It should look really cool.
Chris was also able to hang the loft rafters today. All we need to do now is attach the plywood and we're good to go there. It won't be long now before one of us is sleeping up there. It's only about 4 ft. at the peak, and that drops quick, but it's still going to be very usable space. I know I'm psyched to sleep up there.
And, randomly, our old friend Todd Brown showed up with some dirt for us to fix the trench left from the water overflow from Hurricane Irene. Chris was able to temporarily fix what was a pretty banged-up driveway. At least we can get through this winter now and really address the problem in the spring. We've got big plans for the property and water and we plan to address those (with the help of Todd) come April/May. Todd helped us out and didn't charge us a dime.
On the way home, Chris filled up at the gas station at the end of the road. A truck pulled up next to him with a deer in the back.
Sweet.
Vermont.
