Making Progress

As we drive back to the cabin to get more work done, I ponder about how much progress we have made this year. There have been 2 trips to the cabin since the beginning of July, and a family vacation to the East Coast. The summer of 2023 has been busy.

On the first trip, we tackled the plumbing.

Pieces and parts

Over at least 3 full days we planned, cut, glued the drains and plumbing for the cabin.

We finished hooking up the mini-split, and ran some gas lines for the water heater and future appliances.

After long days of work, we got a chance to relax and watch the Munising fireworks, always such an excellent display!

Happy Independence Day!!🇺🇸

For the next trip, J went alone and was joined by Mr. M and son to help with building a front porch. In Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451, there were no front porches because the government didn’t want people congregating and talking to each other, as front porches encourage. We definitely wanted a front porch.

Many hands make quick work!

Before our amazing helpers returned home, they had a chance to explore some of the area’s waterfalls.

As the sun sets, the time at the cabin came to a close. We are so blessed to have amazing friends to help through so many parts of this build. Hooha!! J+M

Until next time…
