23 years ago on these early July dates, with the help of friends, I started setting foam panels in a freshly excavated hole for the foundation of my cabin. I recall the scent of freshly turned earth and pine as we worked. And I recall the excitement that filled me from my toes to my fingertips as we engaged in those early stages of construction.
Back
then, I anticipated a timeframe of perhaps a dozen years from that point to
fully frame and finish the cabin, inside and out. Well, life happens, and life
doesn't happen. Losing Uyen in 2011 brought me to a complete stop for about
five years.
I
lost my heart for the cabin for a spell.
Since
2022, Desiree and I have been pouring our efforts into finishing the cabin.
Just yesterday, I installed the last kitchen countertop receptacles and dropped
in the kitchen sink. All that remains to completely finish the cabin's main
floor are two small pieces of trim and the installation of the range hood.
Today's post includes a few photographs documenting the process.
