Sept. 24- bleaching the cabin



Howdy!!

Welcome to our Texas cabin!! Dan picked out our front door-- he did a great job I must say!! This has been a very busy week-- they got all the windows and doors in and will be done with the insulation and exterior log siding tomorrow. Today I sprayed 2 sides with bleach water, let it dry, then srayed it with baking soda water, then hosed it all of. Tomorrow I will do the other 2 sides, so we can begin the exterior staining on Saturday. Hopefully we can get it done in 2-3 days. The bleach just lightens the logs a little, since the sun darkened them. We also bought our pellet stove, picked out carpet and kitchen and bathroom flooring, and chose the kitchen cabinets (hickory). I will also pick out the rock for our fireplace tomorrow. Looks like we might be able to move in to the 2nd story and basement in about 3 weeks. As soon as we finish staing the exterior, I'll start picking paint colors for the bedrooms-- that will be the real fun part. Looks like it could be a very busy 3 weeks-- plus Autry has started playing football and has practice twice a week and games on Saturdays and Sundays. I am wondering why I decided to let him do that. Abbey just has ballet 1 day a week. Our adventure is almost over-- please keep hanging in there with us for another month-- then we'll invite you over for coffee, cards and conversation while watching the sun set in the big ol' Texas sky.







They are using the spray on isulation- its basically going to be a log sided igloo!!



























They finished about 1/2 of it today, and will also spray under the house tomorrow. We really wont even need our pellet stove with all this insulation!!
