He Measured, He Cut, He Glued, He Nailed, And.....

HE'S FINISHED!

I am so very proud of Byron's hard work and persistence with the making of the cabinets for our fishing trailer. It has been 2 years since he ripped the entire kitchen out of our retreat and began his very first woodworking adventure. And even though there was a learning curve, Byron taught himself everything he needed to know to complete this task on his own. I admit, I had my doubts, but Byron amazed me with his talent and tenacity to continue to move forward even when he didn't want to for whatever reason. I hope he is as proud of his work as I am. The cabinets are beautiful and our fishing retreat will be better than ever once we are through with the renovations!

AHH, renovations, yes! Byron and I are planning on redoing to entire place. It is a two bedroom, two bath trailer with a lot of potential of being a great fishing retreat for our family ~ once we get it like we like it, of course! When we take the cabinets up to our lovely retreat, we are going to continue to rip out the remaining bathroom cabinets, carpet, linoleum and removed all the old furniture that the place came with and start over! We will post pics as we go to show you our progress. It should be fun...or a DIY disaster! Hey, maybe we should apply for the show???
