Cabin Fun!

  We were invited to come down to the cabin because a lot of the family was going to be there to get the things that they had said they wanted years ago.  As we looked around, we also got to meet the family and we got some fun stories about the property.  The main cabin was built somewhere between 1800-1820 and they have no idea where the listing agent got the 1764 from.  They said that 1958 is when the Christmas tree farm was started.

  Jim was the guy to ask about anything having to do with the cabin, even amongst family.  He is the most local, being only about half an hour away.  The cabin has actually been moved from where it was first built.  They had first built it on the ridge, since the main area is pretty rock free and good for farming.  It was disassembled back around 1964-65.  Each log had been labeled, so it was pretty easy to put the walls back together in the new location.  However, the floorboards didn't get labels, so it was like a jigsaw puzzle to put them back in their correct places.  The floorboards that are in there now at all original to the cabin.

  Just off of the kitchen of the first addition used to have bunk beds, but now it holds the extra cook wear and decorations.  The second addition to the main cabin gives us two more rooms to work with.  The floors in those rooms aren't as nice as the rest of the rooms.  They had possibly thought to add carpet to those, but it's hard to tell now.

  Before people started heading out, they held a toast for Katherine and Walter.  There were a lot of tears, and it was interesting that there were three generations there.  One girl was especially sad, and I think it will be interesting to see if she contacts us in the future about possibly getting the property back.
