Spring at Last

Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where
The flowers is.

The last of the snow is melting around the cabin, uncovering all the things that got lost under the snow during the winter.  The contractor was wandering around the new cabin yesterday and found a tool that he has lost a few months ago and hadn't been able to find.

Working in brutally cold conditions, braving ice and snow, the crews managed to essentially complete the interior framing and the small roof sections and overhangs for the front entryway, the dining room pop-out and the balcony.  It's really taking shape!  We can now see the final outline of what the finished cabin should look like.

Here are some pictures:

                                                   The balcony (il balcone).
                                                  The Dining Room Pop-out.

                                                         The Big Window.
Actually, when we realized that the views in and out of the big window were quite limited due to the elevator shaft and stairway, we decided that the bottom half of the big window will be glass block, and the top half will be a big window.

Now that we have good weather, we are ready to make a big push, and try to get as much done as possible, before the rainy season starts.  We'll keep you posted!
