Progress

Himself has had a couple of chances to work on the cabin this past month.  This past weekend, three days, we kept out of his way and let him at it.  The weather was cooler but the lake waters still warm from the 100+ degree stretch of weather so it was perfect on the beach and I and four children took advantage of the ideal conditions and hit it.  Himself took advantage of the freedom to work.  And work he did!

He is almost ready to start the finishing touches in the bathroom and bedroom.  He had mudded and sanded and mudded and sanded to his heart's (and his perfectionism's) content.  He is thinking he will go down today and leave me home to work so that he'll have a couple of uninterrupted days to finish the mudding and the sanding.   

I'll go down after work on Friday and see what I can do to help.  Okay . . . or  Not!  but I'll be there to cheer him on! 

I absolutely have not helped with the dry wall, mudding and sanding.  I am not inclined towards drywall.  I can't get interested.  I love boards and wood, rocks and bricks . . . but dry wall makes me want to turn and walk away.  Well, it does! I do turn and walk away! 

So thank goodness for Himself!  Thank goodness for his determination and sticktoitness.  Himself is a finisher . . . and a good thing!  If left to me we'd be living with 2X4 studs with maybe some insulation stuffed between or some paneling nailed up. 

Stay tuned!
