Winterizing???

So, I'm thinking that we're going to the cabin to cover things up for the winter. When I arrive this morning the crew decided to put up more posts out front on the deck. You can see the plastic covering the windows, and now all seven posts are in place.

I know you are probably counting and saying she's crazy there are only six posts there. The seventh is in the middle and only goes up as far as the bottom of the deck. There will be stairs coming down there as you come out the front door.

Josh couldn't quite reach the rope to untie it from the forklift when he was in the boom, so he climbed onto the forks of the forklift. He started breathing again when he was back in the boom!

The last purlin was placed on the outside of the northeast side of the cabin. Now the decking for the roof could be put up on that side.

The last post going up!!!

The view from the road as we were leaving. Sorry it is so blurry. I was having issues with my camera, so I took this with my phone. We have had a lot of fun this fall building the cabin. We appreciate the time that everyone has spent at the cabin so we could get as far as we have this fall. It has gotten cold, wet and muddy, so I think that we really are about done for this year. There may be a few more little things that we can do, and a bit more winterizing. But no roof for now. When I look back at the pictures from the beginning, we really have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. I'm sure there will be trips up the canyon during the winter to check on things and hopefully to have some fun playing in the snow. Afterall, Randy and I have new snowshoes to try out and I'm thinking we have to check out the hills for tubing!
