We've been hibernating the past couple of months waiting for milder temps at the cabin before we continue our Nordhjem Escapades. I just returned from a great weekend XC skiing with friends near the cabin. This area near our cabin has received 70" of snow so far this season. The woods are a winter wonderland as the winds sculpture the snowy landscape. (Sunrise photo creds to Bob A.)
We have continued some of our cabin research over the winter to narrow down our lighting options and to spec out our electrical solar needs for the cabin. This is all in prep for the upcoming building season.
We made good progress last year! The exterior is 75% sided. On the interior we have the majority of the electrical and plumbing rough in completed.
We are also thrilled to have our first grandchild! Little Miss Avery Benton joined us on January 25th. She is "precious" to say the least!
Back here in the big city I continue to volunteer as a XC Ski Patrol
for Dakota county. It's incentive to get out of my recliner and enjoy the local parks.
For this blog entertainment I have created a random video of cabin photos. The photos remind us how thankful we are for the family and friends who have helped us along the way.
Enjoy!
