Now THAT is snow. Your cabin is gorgeous. I love those timber frame houses. My husband really wants one. However, this house is paid for, so it’s that much more enjoyable for us.

Thanks. We knew we wanted a cabin in the mountains before we moved here. Actually, we moved back here specifically in order to have one. My husband came out first and found the lot in the mountains before we even came out after him. We were starting on the cabin before we had a house in Bakersfield to live in. He pretty much built it himself to save money. Which is a darn good thing, because house values have plummeted up there and we’ve still spent under what it’s worth. Not that it would sell now anyway. Vacation homes are the first to go.

Not that we think of it as a vacation home — that’s actually are real home, while the other house is just where we have to live in order to earn money! I sure would love to have a place that I loved to be in and didn’t have to leave it, though. Maybe someday.
