Catching up

Over the past few weeks, I've become the owner of the cabin that I've posted about and that has taken up much of my time. Once I got the banking together it was a several day wait to get all of the details and paper work ready, but on January 16th, I signed the closing documents.

Because it is just a shell at this point, much of the time spent has been getting permits together and planning out the work that needs to be done. I've started on the electrical work, but it does go slow.

Travel time up is three and a half hours and without lights or heat it takes planning to make a trip worth while. I am excited about having this size of a project and really want to do as much of the finish work myself as is possible - for the experience if nothing else.

On a different note, as I sat working and catching the birds back and forth to the feeder, I noticed that my Titmouse count is up 6 or seven at times. The cardinal pair has been in and of course the chickadees. There's a light snow falling and they can sense the coming colder weather forcast for the week so I'm sure they'll be stocking up all day.
