Just like new

One of the things that Chris has been wanting to have done for some time now is to get the cabin refinished. With the new house, we didn't have the time or money to do it last year. This year, the money to have someone do something for us went to the landscaping at the house. So, he agreed to do the work himself (he didn't want to by any means!!). And, thankfully, Kari was able to help TONS. We couldn't have done this without her....so THANK YOU VERY MUCH KARI! :) We love you! :) They started the process to sand the cabin and found it to be so much more than planned. Then, the weather didn't help...who knew we would get RAIN for a MONTH in June!?!? And SNOW too! Last weekend, they were able to get the sanding completely done, and were able to stain it on Saturday and Sunday (nice way to spend Father's Day, don't you think!?!?). Doug was able to help too on the weekend...thanks Doug! When we got to the cabin on Saturday, it was 1/2 stained. It looked fantastic!! :) By the time we left on Sunday late-afternoon, they had it all done once, and needed a second coat on one area. Then, Doran was able to go back up there on Monday and Tuesday and painted the trim on the windows and doors.....THANKS Doran! Now, we just need to do a little more paint, get new gutters, and this project will be D-O-N-E! :)

Chris and Doug working hard at staining the front....doesn't look like any fun! :)


Here is the before (well...more of a "during"...it is all sanded, but not stained yet) and an after!


The cabin really does look like NEW now! :) Great job Chris, Kari, Doug & Doran! :)
