Well, we were a little discouraged by the weather Friday and Saturday, since my hubby was off. He only gets every other weekend off, so the hours in those days are at a premium for working on the house, especially if anyone was free to help. We still ventured out on Saturday, though, in an effort to map the electrical plan in the cabin. We walked through and marked the outlets and light switches, while the bids ran around in the cold, soaking drizzle. It didn't take long for us to call them in because their pants were soaked up to the knees. Meanwhile, inside the cabin the temperature was roughly 48 degrees. I must admit, it was cold! It made me wish we already had the wood stove. After mapping the electrical plan on the frame, Rich went back and nailed in the boxes that would house outlets and light switches. Just seeing those little, blue boxes on the walls made it look even more like a house. I sat in a camping chair in our kitchen, imagining myself at our dining table watching the kids play in the living room. It gave me a little thrill.
Today, after church, my Dad went out and helped Rich run the wire and connect it to the outlets, etc. We only lack the utility outlets and circuit breakers. We might even have lights by this time next week!
