My Young Entrepreneur’s

I mentioned on my Thanksgiving post of a little cabin we are building. Here is the story.

Several months ago Audrey was inspired to have her own vacation rental by owner. She had been to see her cousins and one of them had taken a rental that they rented monthly and turned it into a vacation rental. Audrey mentioned it to her daddy and he thought it was a good idea, so the brain started spinning with possibilities and the idea was born.

We live away from town and neighbors. As a matter-of-fact our nearest neighbor is 3 miles away. A cabin could be built next door, capitalizing on the gorgeous view and the seclusion – a place where people could come and decompress, getting away from city life and coming to the country where they could enjoy nature or hiking.

The place we decided would be in front of the tree there at the top of the picture.

A place was cleared…

It would be a small one-bedroom cabin – 400sq’.

The owners would be our three youngest children who would scrape together every bit of money they’ve saved over the years and having a dad and brother who knows this type of work, it helps a lot in keeping costs low!

The lumber was purchased.

The electrical line and water line was put in.

The wood foundation was built and the framing began.

The ridge beam for the trusses was put in place.

And on Thanksgiving day, this is what the cabin looked like.

The 3 musketeers oh, excuse me, I meant owners. 🙂

Compare this picture to the very first one above.

It’s an exciting endeavor and so fun to see it all come together.

The exterior walls were finished…

A spray in insulation was done.

The interior is getting wood on all the walls… even the ceiling.

I love this wall.

Justus is getting a lot of hands-on learning.

And Audrey is the little gopher taking the workers food and drink.

I’ll be posting much more frequently about the cabin now, so stay tuned for its progress!
