Take a Look Inside the Cabin

The cabin is stuck in the mud in front of the foundation. Now that the rain has stopped, it doesn’t look nearly as bad. A guy from a crane company is coming on Monday to take a look at the situation. The crane is scheduled for Wednesday, but it is supposed to rain. I have visions of a crane sinking into the mud in our yard. We’ll see what they decide.

In the meantime, we got a chance to see inside the cabin. We did a Pre-delivery Inspection, but I forgot to take photos of some things.

The cabin was shipped with materials to finish the cabin inside. They were all stacked on foam packing material so they wouldn’t bang up the inside of the cabin.

The fans were tied so they didn’t swing around. I wasn’t even thinking about this when they were tilting the cabin side to side and then tilted it way up to slide it off the trailer.

If the fan hadn’t been tied, it would have been banging against the ceiling.

All of the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors and drawers were taped closed.

They taped them with blue tape. Blue tape isn’t as sticky as other tape, so you can pull it off without damaging the surface.  (If you leave blue tape on for a very long time or if it gets really hot, it will pull off paint. Good to know.)

We put up the ladder to take a look up into the loft.

I can sit in the loft without bumping my head. But I am short. If I were sitting on a mattress, I would for sure bump my head.

Even with no lights on, the loft is not at all dark because of the window in the hall.

When the ladder is stored on the hooks by the bedroom door, the light switch is still easy to reach.

I got a bill for $3,225.00 from the City of Hendersonville, so it looks like they have approved our water and sewer line taps.

Tomorrow we will find out more about the crane.

The cabin is from Westwood Cabins. You can see more photos and floor plans at www.westwoodcabins.com and www.facebook.com/westwoodcabins.
