Cabin Update!

Well, the cabin renovations are under FULL swing now that spring has hit. All of a sudden, we realized the gazillion things we have to do this summer if we want to avoid looking at that DREADED pink insulation anymore. And I have to say, I'm getting rather annoyed with it. I mean, look at that lovely floor! And there's the crap insulation ruining the view! Bleah!



I quite like the floor though! Can't wait till we have, oh, a BED!!! Other furniture would be nice too upstairs, but one step at a time. Next we might drywall the upstairs before furniture comes in. Then I realized, crap! We have to get the place wired first. There is also the porch to do, although Ray did get some steps on the porch, which makes things a lot easier. And the flooring downstairs, oh yeah, a kitchen, pseudo-bathroom, etc, etc...!

The ceiling is going to be one major job, but I figure we can stain the boards outside this summer and hopefully get them all up quickly one nice summer day!

Our snow is almost gone, and the driveway is holding up really well. Our driveway guy, Travis, did a pretty nice job with that I have to say. No mud hardly at all, and it drains nicely. Usually this is a horrible time of year if you have a dirt driveway. At my old cabin, I often had to park on the main road and walk in because of the mud. Gee, it's amazing what thousands of dollars can do!!! :)

So the dogs are back into the fetching/relaxing-mode and are quite enjoying ripping around the big dog pen. The white dogs are especially enjoying turning brown from the mud... *ahem* POOH BEAR! I'll have to get some video of that.

This is what I spent last weekend (or 2 weekends ago?) doing (most of that snow is gone and the meadow is quite grassy again!).

Yes, sitting with my feet up and drinking a big ol' beer while enjoying the view. Ray and I then had a mini-bonfire, and realized... hey, it's time for some parties around the bonfire! Stay tuned for details on Stacie's Second Annual Canada Day Party!!!!


Off to the side of the cabin, is the 6-pack, and Kuna - the 10-yr old chasing his tail...


So pretty are my mountains.


Heather gave me some bird seed so I put it out and put it everywhere hoping the little buggers would catch on. It took about two days and after they found it they ate EVERYTHING in one day!! Greedy little birds. At one point there was about 50 of them devouring every morsel. Now I know why I never buy bird seed. Although it was entertaining to have them flittering about for the afternoon.

And as of last night: the biking season has begun!!! I'm back on my roadie, planning to be in the bike race again this year. I started with about 15km up the highway, and ooh! This time of year is quite chilly - even with a TOQUE on my head was still freezing on the way back. Ok, so I'm SO ready for summer I can't even stand it!!!!
