Indoor Camping - Cabin

Pete went to Singapore for three weeks in November, and we took advantage of the time he was away to hand the cabin over to the sheetrock crew.  Edgar Ibarra did an amazing job.  He brought over a couple chunks of sheetrock and demonstrated various levels of hand texture that he could do.  We chose a light texture - it's just beatiful.  I don't think it's something I can really capture well in a photo, but it looks like a very smooth, mellow plaster finish.

When Pete got back from Singapore, he, Peter and Justin spent a weekend painting and putting in some of the finish electrical - outlets, switches, lights.  Then they put construction paper down on the floor to cover up the sheetrock dust.  The following weekend we moved in - camping style.

We brought 7 folding chairs, 2 folding tables, a sleeping pad for Sylvie, a futon mattress for us, bedding, a toaster, coffee maker, and some miscellaneous stuff.  It was a trick to fit it all in the Explorer.

We so much enjoyed our first weekend at the cabin.  The loft isn't safe yet, so Sylvie sleeps in her little nook between the stairs and the living room.  The floor heat works amazingly well - the place is nice and cozy.
