Camp Cabin Realized
Thought I would add this update to the camp Cabin series. We have begun using the camp Cabin, and taking short trips to our property for the purpose of developing our eventual homestead. We have added so much!
The above is the dry sink, cabinet. Eventually it will be plumbed out, but for now I just toss the water in my sink out as necessary. Currently it stores dishes, food, and tools! Working out amazingly!
The couch becomes a bed that fits perfectly, and is built quite high for storage underneath. We can store a full sized ice chest, a laundry basket full of wood, and other tubs as necessary. When it is a bed, it has nearly twice the storage!
Here is the couch/bed in the process of building. Of course it is now covered in plywood, but the front when not in use slides away. When in use, each arm rests in a joist hangers across the front of the base. Pillows, and bedding is stored in the space on the left, under the futon.
Because the couch/bed is tall, and I am short, I purchased a step stool to make it easier to climb up there!
The wood stove has been a wonderful addition, making the cabin usable year round! The long abandoned real estate sign is our temporary heat shield, as it the paint pan on the rear of the stove. Believe it or not, VERY effective. Can stick my hand on a cool wall, when stove is blazing away!
Everything has a place, and a place for everything!!

New flowerbed planted with bulbs for spring!
The last pic is the quilt I am currently working on for the cabin! Hope everyone is doing well! God bless you everyone!
It's lovely to see you here again. I guess a lot happens in a year and it's great to see the cabin in use now. It's looking real cosy!
Yes, I have been so busy living! I'm going to try and write more frequently here! It is so great to realize dreams I have had for some time!
Good Evening Littlebitfarm, I have resteemed your post with the Newbie Resteem account . We are a non profit group of volunteers on the Steem block chain who support content creators by promoting their work, as well as provide advice when needed. I really enjoyed reading your post and looking through your pictures. I will be having a look through your other posts but your cabin really does look like a great little home and I look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Thank you!
Looking good over there! Looks like you're still having decent weather there too! I know we are!
Yes, we are having nice weather! Almost too nice! I am a little jealous of the snow everybody else seems to be getting! But I have decided to just be thankful!
Looks like it came together well. Nice work.
Thanks! It's getting there!
How long to go do you think? Before you're fully happy with it all?

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Well, I want to get siding up, and I have a roof issue I have to deal with. I also need to finish some caulking. I also will plumb the sink out, put up some more shelving, hang some paintings, and knick knacks, and also finish the rug, and quilt I am making.
Then there are the other outside things, tool/woodshed, outhouse, wash station, raised bed garden, etc...
Hmm, a bit to do...Little by little I guess. Rewarding doing it yourself though huh,?
