April 16, 2009. We are almost ready to use our cabin and to be able to rent it out. You can call David for details and the phone number is to the right. The construction of our cabin continues and proceeds at a much slower pace than we would have ever thought, but the quality of the construction is there. I guess the old saying “good things come to those who wait” may be true in this case. We are sorry for the hold up to the hunters that have expressed an interest and those who have wanted to rent the cabin for this season. The good news is that we have not written off late winter and early spring fishing.
My family has had high hopes of being in the cabin for Thanksgiving. My boys have never deer hunted in West Virginia, and this would be the first time for them. I have not deer hunted in West Virginia since the early 70’s. We have not spent Thanksgiving in West Virginia since about 1985. You can hardly imagine our disappointment.
We also intended by this fall to start building another cabin on the same lot, which will be much larger. We wanted to have the foundation done this month so that we would be up out of all the soft ground and mud we encountered this spring in the construction of this cabin. We would have framed it during the winter and been ready to go by summer. Does anyone have past experiences with proceeding with shell construction of cabins during the winter months in West Virginia?
Regardless of our plans and what in our minds seems to be a setback we look toward our God, King and Savior for guidance. We trust that God has a better plan than ours, and we will be content with his pace.
