Things are coming along day by day

We have been on a roll here lately in the cabin, that's
why I haven't spent a lot of time on here as of late, sorry.
We still have a lot to get done but things are coming
along each day we put some work into it a few hrs.
Being we had to work on the outside back wall of the
cabin where the critters were coming in from I can
say it has kept the critters out & that's a PLUS +.
But, we had a water mishap & had to get that fixed
so we could take a shower & have water for the 2 dogs.
With what work we have done with the ceiling this past
week, it has REALLY made it look a 100 % better.
It's going to be a 100% turn around from how the cabin
USE to look like to what it's GOING to look like after
we're done with it, I can't wait to see it FULLY done.
Once I can get what we need to get the walls started
& get the BIGGER part of it done I can get my desktop
set back up & hopefully that won't be too much longer.
Being we are getting it sealed up, IS it really helping?
that's a good question, I can't really say yea or nay
but I DO know I can say it's really starting to feel like
home when I DO get moved back in it again.
I know when I get moved back in the cabin I'm
going to have to make it where the dogs stay out
during the day, cause that's where I'm getting the
dust from & to keep the fleas out as well too.
I've also been working in the front garden too
where I've planted all the plants I bought last
month, & trying to get it looking decent for us
to enjoy every time we drive up in the yard.
So things are getting done, it's just taking
all the time we can get to get things done
& with as much as we have to get done
it's taking up all our time to get as much
as we can work on done, you got that right?
WHEW, I sure hope so, but yeah we're doing
good I'm doing good, I have my days that I
just don't have it in me to do anything at times
so I just take a few days to get back into it.
So with that said I hope all is doing well &
having a great week so far, I see some flooding
going on in a few states that's really bad &
a lot of other stuff that's making life tough
but I hope it's not effecting any 1 on here.

Yea I know, I'll be glad when it's all done then I
can start saving some $ again, right now every
thing I make on S S is going towards the cabin &
the bills to help him with his $ to pay what bills.

I'm happy to hear that things are moving along and you can picture it all done. I'm sure it looks pretty with the flowers you planted.

I just hope that it all looks good color wise with the space I have to work with
I'm taking my time to pitcher what plants I have to replant them in the front
yard & give us a new look that I've always wanted to do since we've been here.
The cabin has really took on a new look with as much as we have been
doing with it too now that the ceiling is finished except for a few more
boards to be put up & the trimming it has made a GREAT difference.

Great to hear that you’re making progress! I take it that you have a place to live while you’re fixing the cabin?

@2ndchances24 That’s great that you have a place to stay. I’m sure you can’t wait to be back in the cabin though.

Yeah, in the husband's trailer while we work on the cabin
cause when I came home from the hosp I wasn't able to
live in the cabin the way it was & how unstable I was.

I can't believe it took me crashing in the hosp to get the cabin
sealed up, & now that just the ceiling done & how we done it
has made a great difference to see such a big change to it.

It's been a challenge 4-sure, but it's all been worth it
I never thought it would take me crashing in the hosp
to get the cabin sealed up like we've been doing.
