It was very cold and even snowing a bit when we arrived. The electricity had been connected earlier in the week, and we got the heaters going quickly. We figured out how to turn on the water to the cabin, and all was going well until JD noticed the waterfall coming out of the light fixture in the hall of the main floor. Rick was able to locate the problem (a busted pipe) behind the sink in the upstairs bathroom (with the help of a sheetrock saw) and temporarily patched it to allow us to have water for the weekend.
We spent the weekend cleaning, organizing, washing linens & towels and shopping. The cabin is in really good shape overall. The main floor bedroom and bathroom need to have wallpaper removed, and new paint and trim. Both decks need work, and the back deck needs a very large pine tree removed.
We can't wait to get back to get started.
