March 2011: Sanding and cleaning
Towards the end of winter, we again spend some time working at
the
cabin. The most tedious job is the sanding of the logs inside the
building. A very dusty matter, but due to cold temperatures it is
bearable to work while bundled up in protective clothing. At the end
several garbage bags of
wood dust are carried out. Several times the cabin is cleaned from top
to bottom and the floor is polished and sealed with varnish. Now
everything is shining brightly and a pleasant scent of wood spreads
through the interior.
May 2011: Carpentry and some more outdoor work
On the upper
floor, the beds and bedside tables are built, the stove pipe covered
and
a handrail for the stairs constructed. Outside, the front yard is
levelled out and two series of steps up to the porch are built.
