Where's the Spring?

Just returned from a short trip to the Hudson Valley, and my only question to Vermont is, "Where's the Spring? Geez, it' mid-March already!!!" But, it will come in good time, I suppose. Meanwhile I've been working on indoor projects and furniture -- stuff that should be done before it's pleasant outside. Bookshelves, basement wiring, cleaning, and project drafts are all best done indoors. Oh well. Just a few more weeks, I guess. (Certain readers will like to know that I haven't forgotten a certain television table.)

I've been thinking a great deal about a future 'Canine Education Center' I've been dreaming up for a while. It's expanded from just a wolf refuge to a canine refuge, and I'd like to create a comfortable, cozy building with an library/media room, a dog training room, and potentially a small vet clinic. We'll see how this progresses. It sounds like grant writing is in my future. As well as a PhD in animal behavior and conservation...

Anyways, I thought I'd post some updated pictures of the cabin, as it's been a while since I've posted any. Please, enjoy. (And look out for this summer -- if you'd like to hammer some nails and cut some wood, I'll be doing some projects and would be happy to have volunteers).

Ceiling = done!


The kitchen is coming along nicely...


Double-sided bookshelf with cabinet doors, in the loft.


My new, semi-complete study.


Our brand-new wood stove (thanks Allison!) !


Kitchen cabinet, custom-built by me.

As always, more to come. I'm currently trying to design a rocking chair. I've never built a chair before. Hmm. This should be fun...

  1. Hey, I didn't know you had a blog. Fixed it!
    The cabin looks amazing, compared to where it was when I was last there. Walls and everything! You must be very proud.

  2. Improves each time I visit - the custom furniture, cabinets, etc. If you make a chair, you might as well make two because I'll be wanting one. It's looking good Adam. St Paddy's Day tomorrow - Sit back in a comfy chair in front of the wood stove with a mug of Allison's hot chocolate and Johnny's Seeds and think about gardening.

  3. @Kim: Sound advice -- I ended up drinking Bailey's and watching movies with Trevor and Joy. I should give you a call sometime soon!
    @Elli: Thanks! Trevor and I are very happy with how it's turning out.
