Cabin Addition 2021: June update

After being delayed for months thanks to two engineers who were giving Michael the run around (literally not answering emails and dodging phone calls), we finally passed structural this week after a simple ten-minute walkthrough and not a single note/extra/change (because the place is already overbuilt and Michael knows what he’s doing).

Anyways! Passing structural means that Michael can get to the part of the job he loves doing — all the extras. Such as building the bench into the niche/bookshelf for my office. 

MCD’s office niche/bookshelf – framed!!

So hopefully there will be quicker updates going forth … roofing, siding, windows, and the garage door are all on order. In a few weeks the plumbing and electrical rough-in … etc!

Fun! Fun!

And … the view from a seated position (will probably be a bit higher when finished … that’s Vancouver Island (Crofton) across the channel, BTW.

  1. You ought to just put a big old ornate gold frame around that window and call it “dressed”. Beautiful landscape.

  2. I live vicariously through the beautiful window views you share with us. Looking forward to seeing Michael’s progress, especially the niche. I’ve always wanted a niche!

  3. So excited for you! Wonderful to see your project come to fruition. You live in such a beautiful area.

  4. What a perfect place to be creative and write – I look out on a fence with a few straggly camellia bushes! You are very lucky. So glad the inspection went well for you.

Chat with MCD!
