Kevin and Linda's Big Adventure to Park Rapids

We finally got up to Park Rapids on Saturday to check the cabin's progress. It's coming along nicely and we really got a good idea of how it will look. The interior walls are all framed and they've started the siding. The bad news is that they're using the wrong siding (lap siding instead of shakes), so we'll be talking to the builder on Monday. Anyway, they're moving right along and there should be plenty of room for all!

We think the exterior looks a little austere, but Kevin has an idea of a wraparound deck and deck/pergola combination to soften it. Now we just need to hold a bake sale to come up with the cash...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Kevin and Linda

Mid-term Week

It's official. I might not make it through this week. Who knew college would be so hard?! I certainly did not.

Here I am, after a long day of paper-writing:

Cabin re-build!

Dave Olson, the best neighbor ever, was kind enough to send these photos of the construction. Thanks a million, dave.

Cabin Photo!

As mentioned in the previous post, the Park Rapids Enterprise newspaper published a photo of our cabin in this week's issue. I did some serious research (okay, I Googled it) and found the photo they used.

So far it looks like we have walls and part of a roof. And space for windows. All good signs, I'd say.

Cabin update

Sounds like we made the front page of the Park Rapids newspaper! There was a nice photo and write up, so we are now famous. The builder said he will send photos as it progresses, so we will all be able to see it get built. Hope it gets buttoned up before it gets too cold.
OMG
