My Little River Cabin: ONE SECTION FINALLY DONE!!!

THOUGHTS AND RAMBLINGS

my little blog was created for me and a few friends to watch and keep track of "Little Cabin's" transformation....and if others pop in and enjoy, I'm happy...

it's simple...stuff is added when I have time...

and....it's ONLY about little cabin....her previous meager existence...and her emergence into a warm, quiet, fun, relaxing retreat.

All you mobile home owners out there check out this great mobile home blog: Mobile Home Living.

Great tips on painting, repair and links to other mobile home blogs and their beautiful decorating and tricks. Fun stuff. Mobile home bloggers UNITE!!!

The right side of my original photos are blurry....why you say? The day I took them I was so tired from working that I thought my eyes were tired and not focusing. In reality it was a finger smudge on the lens of the camera. Got a kick our of myself when I realized what had happened.

August is not a good time of year to begin remodeling a mobile home. Especially one that has 2 barely working air conditioners, both scarcely hanging from the windows in which they were placed. The weather was in the 100's and my little tuna can reeked of leftover odors from cigarettes and a dog...not a good picture.

My role model for this endeavor... MY AUNT MARY, who encouraged me all along the way by listening and laughing with me. She was a fixer-upper and remodeler...and I would follow in her footsteps!?!

What a beautiful view you have out your new windows and I looove all your landscaping projects too! I'll have to come back and see how everything fills out, I hope your shade trees are really full of leaves for you! Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs; June 22, 2010 at 11:12 PM
Unknown said...: Well, I had the VitaGreen guy over to tell me that 2 of the 4 trees are over watered!!! I guess I've been drowning them....Went on vacation for 10 days and got back and two of the trees had started to drop their leaves....I became frantic and started calling the universe...including the WA St Chelan Co. Extension Office, Master Gardeners...

Called the neighbors to shut the water off...I'm headed up there Sat to see if I can set something up with the auto water systems and dig a trench to stop the run off from the easement road. The rocks are horrendous being so near the river....hours digging in order to plant new plants.

I lived in Seattle for over 20 yrs...being north, you must be pretty green...

Ann @ makethebestofthings said...: I just found you and I'm glad I did! Your mobile home project is coming along wonderfully and your site is full of interesting content. We also live in an old mobile in a beautiful location (no river, tho!) If you look at my "welding man" post you can see what I mean. And now, we are trying to sell and it is so hard to think of leaving this place. More power to you, looking forward to your progress.; July 6, 2010 at 10:22 AM
