THE TINY CABIN

I Love This!!!

A tourist from New York City was hiking through the mountains of North Georgia when he came upon the tiniest cabin he had ever seen in his life. Intrigued, he went up and knocked on the door."Anybody home?" he asked."Yep," came a kid's voice through the door."Is your father there?" asked the tourist. "Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in," said the kid."Well, is your mother there?" persisted the tourist."Ma? Nope, she left just afore I got here," said the kid."But," protested the city slicker, "are you never together as a family?""Sure, but not here," said the kid through the door. "This is the outhouse!"

THE FOYER IS DONE

The foyer is finally finished. I've "tweeked" it some since these pictures were taken, but you can see the end results with the horizontal beadboard. The color in these pictures are "off"some, but not too bad. It gave me the look and feel that I was looking for.

THE ADDITION

The Addition was added in 1994

I'm not going to go into so much detail as I have on the cabin. It was exciting to see the addition being built, but not nearly as much as when we built the log cabin. Larry did most of the work on the addition but we did hire some things done. We built the garage first so we'd have a storage place for all our belongings that we brought with us. We had lots of great help building the garage from our friends and family. It was built in about 10 days. Si Baldwin and Kirk Dietzman, Rick Melton, John Henderson, Don Carter and Dick Shipway were some that came from the Endwell area to help. Our kids were also very involved as they were with the log cabin.

This first picture is the finished addition.

Checking the plans. Here's my friend Anita. Dick and her had come

for a visit and to add their help and expertise.

As I mentioned our kids were here to help...well some of them anyway (hehehe) What are you doing Steve and Sue? I know, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

Of course Scott as usual sticks right to the job. Guess which one is Scott.

Before the siding and porch. That's Dick and Anita Shipway's car

Note the porch on the side of the addition has been started

Here's Sue, Lisa, Stephanie and Sharah

Third Floor Loft

Note the faces looking through the heart shapes, including the cat.

This is the 3rd floor loft that Stephanie mentions in "This Old Cabin". It's above the 2nd floor loft, in the very peak of the cabin. (taken before the ceiling was finished) The grandkids loved to play, hide, and sleep up there. They would look down through the heart shape openings and "spy" on the adults and often floated notes down to the first floor.
