From relaxation to renovation!







It was the perfect cabin! We loved the floor plan, the wonderful deck and the incredible view! Perfect relaxation! Perfect until...












A coat of paint here and there.
Thank you to friends, Gae and Doris!


















A major renovation! Thank you Cory and Steve!


















The original kitchen.














The first make over.













The final kitchen renovation!








We have had much help from friends and family. The changes have been phenomenal! What else have we done? Let's see -





  • updated and remodeled the kitchen.



  • updated the plumbing system to include a water purification system to add an ice maker and dishwasher.



  • expanded the deck and added a hot tub and enclosed an area under the deck.



  • added a heater in the hall.



Then, we got serious...





  • changed the divided loft into two bedrooms with closets and a half bath.



  • converted the attic to a loft area accessible by ladder to expand sleeping space.



  • turned the downstairs bath into two baths, including a laundry closet.



  • removed the wood burning stove and added a stone fireplace.



  • rebuilt the stairs to be easier to navigate and add aesthetics to the room.




We didn't build it, but we rebuilt it. This has been so much fun. Our son, Cory and Steve (Mickey's brother) helped us with the reconstruction, along with the help of many, many friends.

What's next?
