Pictures


This is the back view of the cabin.  It has two bays for cars and tractor.  The stairs and floor of the "dinning deck" were built by Jim and Andrew.  The second floor is more of a formal living area.


Andrew also put in shelves for Bodhi's toys.  We painted the deck to, hopefully, protect it from the moisture that is all around us.


View of cabin kitchen from dinning table on deck. We bought a propane camping stove from Costco.  It works pretty well.  Andrew doesn't do a lot of oven cooking anyway--and we got rid of our microwave years ago---so really this is all we need.  We even do our toast on the open flame with this handy campers' toast gadget and heat some bath water nightly using our teakettle.  We bring in drinking water in 7 gallon blue containers.  You can see our cooler and our wonderful sink.


View from front entrance to 1st floor of cabin.  So we have a kitchen deck and then the dinning/Bodhi toy area deck.  And storage.


This is a marine grade cooler.  It takes 4 blocks of ice--if you didn't open it, it would stay cold for two weeks---but for us 4 blocks last us 7 days.




Front storage area and stairs leading up to the second floor.



Railings at the top of the stairs---Andrew built these so Bodhi wouldn't take to flying.  They look real nice!  One of his first projects by himself.



Upstairs Lanai view from the top of the stairs.  Andrew and Jim had put plywood up, instead of railings--to Bodhi proof the area.  It's very serene up there.

View of lanai from other direction.

French door entrance to main living area.  The upstairs room is surrounded by windows.

Kind of a living room/bedroom.  Very comfy.

Left side of room--if you were standing at the doors.

Right side view from doors.

Happy Bodhi---Loves his trains!

Kermit---the pet Chameleon--hangs out inside the bedroom every day.

And that concludes the tour folks.  I know some had already seen these on facebook---but just in case you missed them, I thought I should repost.
