I hope those that live where it snow's has everything you need on hand & got prepared for it so you don't get left without anything you might need or want later. We have been working on the cabin getting it all sealed up so it doesn't take much to heat it & I stay nice & warm, I have 2 heaters in here that I have set on 70 degrees & they haven't come on yet so that means we did what needed to be done, we got the last kitchen window in yesterday. I now have at least 2 windows I can open for some fresh air flow in here, & MAYBE next yr I'll get me a screen front door where I can open it & get some fresh air going which will be nice. I don't have the cabin fully set up yet, but I'm working on it, but from how much we have done so far, it's really looking good & cozy. I can sleep more better & it has really helped my stress level & my sugar #'s as well too we've been saving all of the rebates we have been getting where I MIGHT be able to get 2 cabinets when the time comes. I'll let you know when we are fixing to get them, I may just put them both on the long wall, 1 for the counter top stove & 2nd 1 for kitchen sink & get another 1 for the other wall where my microwave & air fryer will be at. I can't say for sure till that time comes but yea it's getting there slowly but surely we still have to work on the bathroom yet So I can have my toilet back in place again. I'm hoping that will be next to be worked on We have the ceiling to get covered the walls to get covered & the floor that needs covered. Not to mention the water heater may have to be replaced when we take it out, so there's that expense, once all that's done I'll be content & truly back in my little cabin again.

Thanks for the update. I hope the rest of the renovations go well. We got 2" of wet s**w. It was hard to see and drive on the roads last night. Have a good weekend.

@2ndchances24 We had no choice. After my doctor's appointment I took my husband's cousin out to eat; and it started s**wing heavily while we were in the restaurant; and it never let up. Then, when we were halfway to my house, her screen lit up with all kinds of warnings. Turns out her fan belt broke. Not a good night.

We got about the same here too we didn't even go outside much less on the roads, we know better. We stay home till we know it's safe we learned when we 1st moved up here from Fla not to get out on the roads when it's snowing not for ANY reason, we have some curvy roads.

@2ndchances24 Don't feel bad. We can only do so much. We have several projects here that did not get done. Our new heater for the den just came in today and that will be the priority for day after Thanksgiving. He is rounding up everything he needs tomorrow to be able to get started on it or else go to Lowes and get what he needs.

Yes we are but still have a lot to get done & now winter has arrived on us, which I was hoping to have all the inside done by now.

Oh yeah, nice & cozy warm where I have a box fan to move the heat around the room, & I can walk around with just my socks on & not walk on a cold cement floor.

Areas above us are getting snow but my area is getting rain which we desperately needed. I'm not ready for snow yet!! With our unusually warm weather for so long my brain isn't ready to accept the fact that winter is coming. Glad things are moving along with your cabin. You sound happy with the progress

You had better get ready cause it won't wait on you rather your ready or not it's on it's way & this is just a reminder to get ready, I'm so much more than just happy with all the work we have done in here, well the work husband has done I should say, I just advise of what needed to be done being he likes working alone. No more dust, or mice coming in, the place stays nice & warm or cool which ever the case may be nice & quite & roomy just for 1 person to live in.

I say we but it's more like the husband has as long as I keep him motivated with it, cause I can't do anything (so he thinks) but he rather work alone, so I'm just there in case he needs me.
