This is looking GOOOD!
Chris went up yesterday to meet the inspector for the insulation, its approved now and oversee any other “issues”.
Well after a slight mix up on the paint color the cabin is now the Forest Service model of perfection! And a dbl coat of paint, even if the 1st layer is torquoise green makes Daddy happy! Big changes are under foot on the interior as well, sheetrock started today!! The insulation was approved yesterday so they were going to start hanging it today, should be done by tomorrow, then taping and texture!! Then paint the interior- calling all weekend painters??!!

Looking for names for the Almanor cabin!
Chris and company finished up the outside, ready for Baird Roofing to get the roof sheeted and dark green metal roof installed! Crabtree Painting is ready to get it painted Forest Service brown, so soon we’ll have a complete picture of the Prater/Bryant cabin- NOW FOR A NAME!!!?? Chris is voting for FUNKY CHALET?? I tried to come up with a combination of our name- CheckyMiane cabin?? It is within view of Almanor lake, so family and friends help us out!
I’m going up tomorrow with Chris, meeting with the electrician and probably in charge of some of the lot clean up. I haven’t been up there since the 5th of July, so I’m excited to finally have a few days to go check it out and be of help jobsite. NOT that we haven’t been helping here, last week Diane and I finalized cabinets, countertops, appliances, bought a great table at “NU2U” here in Chico, a great resale store on Mangrove Ave. We’ve also narrowed down a great floor covering choice- MANNINGTON SOLID VINYL that you’ll swear is wood, easy is care for, looks like a cabin and cab withstand the cold of winter! Thanks Craig from Wood Bros for this great suggestion for us.
I’ll get some interior shots for progress in a few days . . .

Starting to look like a REAL cabin
Wow- it’s really coming together on the outside! The guys worked all week to get both the front and back “Gables” siding with the batting, it was over 30′ tall at the peaks and they had to keep moving the 3 levels of scaffolding back and forth. Chris almost had a mutiny on his hands, but Phil and Dennis hung in there and got the job beautifully done, THANKS!
Chris came home with jeans hanging off and covered in caulking, his new job, each seam of the siding has to be caulked with FIREPROOF caulking. I don’t want to seem unappreciative but the requirements for building in the mountains seems alittle over the top. This week Chris, Cody and Dennis ( if Cody isn’t to tired from bartending at PLUMAS PINES Sun-Tues nights) will finish siding, caulking, framing the stairwell and dropped kitchen ceiling. Electrician and plumber will be in this week, and the rest of the interior will start coming together so the sheetrock can start by the end of the month! YEAH! Its a beacon on the lake so shiny, tall and new so stop by anytime to say hello.
Back in Chico, I’m ( with partner Diane) getting the fun stuff together, with cabinets, appliances, plumbing fixtures, flooring and counter tops and door choices! I did also find a really cute carved bear here in town for the deck, I’ll take a picture of it for all this week 
Until then, back to work selling Chico homes, have a great week!
