Getting ready to move into the log cabin

Our log cabin (soon to be log 'home') passed inspection! I am so excited to drive up north this weekend to check it out and bring some things up. Our builder will be out of my clutches for the next couple weeks in Florida. Hopefully when he comes back, the ground will be thawed and the weather will cooperate for our remaining exterior items. I'm sure I'm being overly optimistic on how fast it will warm up...but a girl can dream! I was going through all my "old stuff" at my house that I thought should go up to the cabin (silverware from my bachelorette days, a loon picture, extra kitchen utensils, etc.) But I also want a lot of "new stuff" to christen the cabin. I think my sales have gotten better at work because all I think about is what that commission can buy for the log cabin. And I'm sure my husband and his wallet are getting ready to take cover from me....

Log Cabin Inspection

The city inspector came out and inspected our log cabin. The builder has a few things to do such as caulking, tightening a deck post and other small things. Also, take special note if you build on a sloping lot - we had some water in the basement. Since the ground wasn't graded before winter hit, water was able to come in once the snow started melting. The crew has been chipping away at the grade. Once the ground is not frozen, it will be graded completely. The inspector is coming back on Monday so I'm hoping we are all set for our certificate of occupancy. I found a great crimson red couch that I'm anxious to move in next weekend.
