We thought on this day we would get going with putting up the ceiling in the bedroom. Deciding against it for this trip, we got everything ready for next time. We bought the 1 x 3’s, got the tools ready and figured out what we would do. We did trim out the patio door – surprised it wasn’t already done? Not us! We even started going through the scraps of pine boards and started putting them up on the side of the fireplace. The vertical boards, cement board and brick you see will all be covered with river rock - in May! We are going to put this finish up with the pine boards on the 2 outside walls to help brighten the interior and get rid of the orange-ish coloring. Can’t hurt for the extra insulation either. 
Carlo attempted to retro-fit an electrical box outside for a light to shine at the side of the cabin. Attempt is the word of the day; the box is too close to the eave to screw on the fixture. This project has been queued to the next ‘sunny day project’ list! (Retro-fit will be our new phrase for fixing the screw-ups from the previous owner – use this phrase for all the plumbing stories that you've already read!)
We rested up and then had dinner at the Portage Family Restaurant rather than fast food. It was good – should’ve had the buffet – there was shrimp and chicken on it!!! Next time!!!
