Now that it has stopped raining, the cabin doesn\u2019t look that stuck.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cabin is stuck in the mud in front of the foundation. Now that the rain has stopped, it doesn\u2019t 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\u2019ll see what they decide.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"
Materials needed to finish the cabin are inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cabin was shipped with materials to finish the cabin inside. They were all stacked on foam packing material so they wouldn\u2019t bang up the inside of the cabin.<\/p>\n

The ceiling fans are tied so they don\u2019t swing around.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The fans were tied so they didn\u2019t swing around. I wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The fans are tied to the window latches so they don\u2019t swing around.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If the fan hadn\u2019t been tied, it would have been banging against the ceiling.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The kitchen cabinets doors and drawers are taped closed with blue tape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All of the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors and drawers were taped closed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The cabinet doors are taped closed so they won\u2019t flap around while the cabin is being delivered and set up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They taped them with blue tape. Blue tape isn\u2019t as sticky as other tape, so you can pull it off without damaging the surface.\u00a0 (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.)<\/p>\n

\"\"
We put the ladder up to see inside the loft.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We put up the ladder to take a look up into the loft.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The loft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The loft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even with no lights on, the loft is not at all dark because of the window in the hall.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The light switch is still easy to get to even when the ladder is in place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the ladder is stored on the hooks by the bedroom door, the light switch is still easy to reach.<\/p>\n

Inside the bathroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will find out more about the crane.<\/p>\n

The cabin is from Westwood Cabins<\/strong>. You can see more photos and floor plans at www.westwoodcabins.com<\/a> and www.facebook.com\/westwoodcabins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The work is done by Fowler Excavating<\/strong><\/a>. Taylor Fowler has managed all of the subcontractors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
