Chapter 4

This is going to be a 4-room cabin.  As of this weekend, anyway, that is the plan.  There will be a master bedroom about 9 X 12, a bathroom with tub, shower, stool, sink and stackable washer and dryer and even a little closet space.  There will be an upstairs "loft" and a livingroom.  Oh, well, and that wonderful big front porch will be another room!  When we build the dogtrot, that will be another room and more storage. 

If you look closely, you can see a line on the floor.  There is the bathroom with, to the left, an area for the stacking washer and dryer and a closet (under those boards), then a pedestal sink, a shower/tub and the stool.  No window.  Look up.  There's an exhaust fan!  Except today Himself said, we'll see . . . about a little window on whichever wall the tub/shower is NOT.  maybe. 

And see those half circle windows leaning on the back wall?  They will go in the dogtrot to provide some natural light. 

Now there.  You can see the tape.  Here is where we will enter the bedroom.  We will have two nice big windows, to catch the summer breezes.  There will only be room for a queen size bed and a nice size dresser.  We might squeeze in two bedside tables to hold the Vicks and the Icy Hot close at hand. 

Here is where we will enter the new cabin, from the old cabin.  Himself and I discussed whether we would need a wall to close off the bedroom.  I said, let me think about it.  I came back later and said "we DO need that bedroom wall.  We need it in case we are still in PJs or in case we want to hide from whoever is coming to the front door!  lol

And this, this is a view out the living room windows.  There are the rocking chairs that I carried up yesterday and there is the Shagbark Hickory Tree left standing and intact, throughout the construction.  I love that old tree!
