It's how I wake up in the morning and it sure feels good after a long hike or a hard days work on your house....
But we had to wait until we got back to the cabin each day before we could have a hot shower... or even a cold shower for that matter.
Fact is, we had NO shower.
By this time we had been trolling our local Facebook group page called Lincoln County Garage Sale here and there for building material finds we couldn't live with out.
One such find was a Harvest Gold (remember that color from the 70's??) upright freezer....
for a whoppin' $30. A nice couple had moved into a new home that had one in the garage they weren't going to use, so we picked it up... you can see it here about to enter our basement -
Still working fantastically, I might add!
Another one of our big scores to this point was our new to us shower. The Lodge was converting a couple rooms into some new conference room space and needed to offload a one piece shower stall.
For $120!
So I drove over one day and hauled it back.... Dave was busy with some building something that was impossible to tear away from or certain disaster was imminent.....
(hmmmm. Somehow it seems this is the case a lot. Perhaps I should look into this phenomenon...)
Around this time Dave's sister, Ruth, and her boyfriend happened to be in town....Boy, were we glad! Extra hands!
After determining the location and reconfiguration of the sliding glass door into just a single door we removed the slider from the jam and finagled the shower into place and
after a few more hours of hooking up the new tankless water heater and running still more Pex lines, two shower heads (yes, I said 2), we had a shower! Yes! One step closer to it feeling more like a house and less like a project....
