Well, if you remember from this post, we bought our cabin over 8 months ago, so you might be wondering why it’s taken us so long to get it remodeled. I mean, after all, remodeling homes is what we do for a living and we pretty much have our systems down. So what is the hold up?? Well, let me tell you what has been going on over the last few months and then it might make more sense.
We bought the cabin in August and we stayed there for a few weekends to escape the summer heat and makes some remodeling plans for the cabin. We knew that we wanted to remove the outdated paneling and replace it with drywall, add some additional lighting and add central air. Those items are easy, peasy and are our everyday normal fixes that don’t require us to pull permits…however, the same does not go for building out the deck and extending the roofline and that is where we got held up. One day while our crew was there working a passerby decided he was bored and decided to ask our guys there if we had a permit pulled for the deck and then proceeded to report us. And that, my friends, is how you get red tagged. Which is literally death to any remodeling project because work has to stop everywhere when that happens. So our cabin has been sitting there since January untouched and unworked on while we go through the process of getting site plans, house plans, deck plans, etc all done and approved by the county. I am happy to report that everything has been submitted and we should be able to resume work in the next week or two!
So, what have we gotten done over there? Well, let me tell you…and show you!
