Many of our friends Know we have been renovating our cabin for the last several months. It has been very slow going as our son works on his time schedule and not our. I can say that the new floor has been put in and that included new joists, new electrical wiring, new plumbing and a new washroom as all of it had to be replaced including much of the foundation.

Kitchen plans changed as well because there was no space for two chefs to work at the same time. We now have a bigger space more cabinets and a six foot island doing in and added a full size freezer. I even have a dish washer! Painting the cabinets a beautiful blue color to off set the dark cedar walls and have a beautiful butcher block counter top for both counters and island. Still looking for some type of back splash. Once the cabinets are painted we can put the flooring down. Then the cabinet under the island can be put into place and painted.

We planned out the electrical for the living room. We put in two floor plugs to accompany lamps beside the sofa end table. I am looking forward to bringing in my new furniture as it has been in storage all this time. I don't even remember what it looks like.
My garden is doing its thing in one garden box but today the second one is getting replanted as the seed starter kit didn't sprout a single seed! So in the ground the seeds go. All of my flower bulbs I planted came up and some have even started to bloom!
Now comes to fun part...Clean up from the final reno is needing to be cleaned up. We had a monkey wrench thrown in there too! Instead of our neighbors with the vicious dogs putting their dogs in a fence across the creek, they decided to put the feeder fence up right beside our property since their drive is along our property to get to their house. Now all that rotted wood has got to be walked away up front to the trailer to be hulled away. They torn up my side walk and threw boards on all my citrus trees. It will be okay because we were putting up a six foot privacy fence all the way around the property anyway. Not only will they not have their dogs attacking us but we will not have to deal with them ever again. So glad they thought they would be so smart! They spent a lot of money too and she was going to have trees cut down to make fence on her property to replace feeder fence after. Let her have her day if it makes her feel better but all she had to do is keep her dogs in their yard across the creek and not attacking us! Just think how much easier and less expensive it would be if she just obeyed the dog laws.
Soon my office will be usable again and I can get to work on classes I started, and zooming without being in the bedroom.
We have started to put up our swing sets around our fire pit too.

I bought my chicken coop and it is on the list to get built. At the price of eggs these days we should could use to have our own.
Oh on a surprising note, my son in Ohio has told us we have a new grand daughter! She is 10 years old and her name is Isabella. Her mom had my son do a DNA test finally after all this time. We welcome her with open arms!
Things are moving along one day I can say the job is finished.
