Well, this installation was a doozie! I told Tim that I did not want to be part of the installation of the 3-panel window partly because it weighs over 300 lbs. and I had already devoted what muscle I had to getting it home after we purchased it. So with the help of our soon-to-be brother-in-law, Eric, Tim and the boys drove it up, installed it and came home all in the same day. This is my favorite feature of the cabin and probably always will be. It lets so much light in and the view is amazing!
We passed our electrical inspection! Now onto rough plumbing. We came up for Memorial Day Weekend to finish a few odds and ends. With COVID-19 the State Park is not open for camping and neither are hotels. So we took the opportunity to stay overnight in our cabin for the first time. Waking up to a view of the forest is magical. We also managed to dial in our temporary kitchen so that we can feed ourselves while we are working on the property.
Memorial Day Weekend was the weekend of the orange door! We finished trimming out all of the windows in cedar, painted the window frames white and changed the color of our front door.
This was the first weekend that restaurants in the northern portion of Michigan were allowed to open. We decided that one day should be devoted to having a little fun. So we explored the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail and rode about 16 miles round trip to Glen Arbor and then went for a wine tasting at Rove Estate Winery. What a magnificent view!
