Sewing Shack
Busy days, sorry it's taken me so long to post these pictures. I started this at noon, lol, and now it's 6:45 p.m. The handyman came over to fix something and look at cabin. He will help finish it. Just as he was leaving a young man from the factory showed up early, which was OK. The front posts on porch were not up to my standard. He came and replaced them. Nice young man, brought his wife and 2 little boys. They were going on to Fredericksburg to visit family after another job in the area. His wife even touched up the paint. I'm very glad I bought from this company!!
Valerie, for a price I could have had the factory put electric in, but since I'm a 'have to see and touch' kind of person my electrician is doing it here. This morning I realized that I need one outlet lower for a little refrigerator. I will put it behind the door under the window.
Here's the pictures of arrival, unload and setup. The little machine he moved cabin around with is called a donkey. It's quite amazing. When he pulled the cabin onto the Granite gravel pad, I thought there would be big skid marks from the other end. There was very little marks in the grass and no drag marks in gravel.
It will get finished inside come fall, when we are back here.
Last picture shows the Porch is Minnie approved.

Size is 12' x 28', 4 ft Porch, so inside is 12' x 24'.

Re: Sewing Shack
Lyn-
That wil lbe a absolute dream sewing quilting space! I too, like Minnie, love that front porch. A suggestion- put in what's called smurf tube -they run in the walls and are empty - a future place to add wiring, cables, etc. They come in handy for expansion . You may think you have planned enough, but many times you learn a new one is needed. Smurf tube is just a blue ribbed plastic pipe, flexible. It is put in the stud bays. One important thing -measure and and keep track where they are.
Again gorgeous!

Re: Sewing Shack
LYN, this is just plain AWESOME!! This time next year it's going to be so much fun to be you!! What's next to bring down from the Estes house? Thanks for the photos! It really gives us a picture of what you've been putting so much time and thought and effort into. As I sit and type this post from the couch at the end of my living/dining room it occurs to me that I believe it is the exact size of your cabin. This gives me perspective of how it's going to look for you. The company sounds like a good one! I'm glad you bought from them, too! Jana's idea of a running a tube for possible electrical additions is a good one. Maybe one of these years I'll get to see it all in person! Congratulations!
