Our awesome craftsmen-builders have decided to put in a mantle for us as a Christmas present! This is a photo of it before it is permanently installed. The log is a engleman spruce . . . the same kind of log used for the walls of the cabin itself.
All of the interior trim in the cabin is now complete including all baseboards. This is a photo showing baseboards and trim around the stairway to the loft and a little of the hallway (on the left).
All the appliances arrived and were installed today! That includes this refrigerator plus an oven/range and a stackable washer/dryer. Now we just need to stock the fridge with Izze soda and we'll be all set.
Most everything is done at the cabin. We do still have punch-list items to complete (baseboards and some trim), and we have installed temporary wooden countertops since we are having so much trouble finding good stone. But the electricity and water are are on and it is basically ready to stay there. Work for the summer is wrapping up and the cleaners are coming to scrub everything tomorrow.
