Our new wood floor!
(How we left the cabin to winter over.)

During the Fall, we were able to install a nice pine floor over the rough subflooring.
It is amazing the difference this made.

Don't ask about the wreckage incurred while transporting the flooring pieces to the site. Let's just say that it is easy to load a whole floor, a stick at a time, atop a little car. Not much of a task to handle the boards that way. But the cummulative load can get a little top-heavy. (Enough so that the rooftop gutters supporting the canoe rack collapsed TWICE as we tried to truck these boards over the hill and down to the cabin's river site.

Here you see the new floor supporting the results of yet another transportation effort. At Thanksgiving time we moved in a Jotul stove weighing more than two strong men can lift! (Matt and Bob)

A view to the other direction.

Looking toward the loft end and you can see more of the floor. Note that we now have a place to sit for our oatmeal and beer breaks.

(Note the smiling proprietors of this woodland B & B)

It's always a beautiful day out in the mountains. Let's step outside and enjoy the view.

Again the smiling proprietors welcome you to all the comforts of rail-less deck suspended above the bluff and river.

Put yourself in this picture! ---- Matt did!

And so we left it high on the hillside for the winter.

In May, another frenzy of building activity will add railings, porch roof, stove pipe, loft ladder, roof/wall seals, cedar eave sidings and more.
WOW

We can hardly wait to get back at it again!

So when Spring returns
and when we can get away from our workaday world
