Heavy Lift Moving Day

Since early this year our garage has been filling up with large items for the cabin -- 4 vanities, 2 very heavy concrete sinks, 4 toilets. Our entry way has been collecting light fixtures, light switches, spiral pipe for ventilation, and other miscellaneous odds and ends. (The UPS guy is beginning to wonder about us.)

Bryan and Greg showed up with Bryan's job trailer Saturday morning, and I borrowed a friend's panel truck.  We loaded everything in to the truck and trailer. 

Getting everything loaded in to the cabin wasn't too bad a chore. 

Bryan and Greg hauling up the main floor concrete sink for the toilet room.

The main floor powder room vanity and sink went in without too much of a hassle.

Everything went great UNTIL....the beast. The nearly 6 foot wide concrete trough sink destined for the top floor was nearl the end of my heroic friends. I'll let the video speak for itself. 

Can't say enough about how amazing it is to have strong, competent and experienced workers help out for a day. Can't say enough. 

For this disinclined to watch the video, here's the final result of their gargantuan effort.

Top floor main bathroom vanity and and trough sink.

After we got the sinks install, we got the main floor kitchen cabinets and the bottom floor kitchenette cabinets installed, and ready to receive counter tops. Of course, I completely forgot to take pictures of these because as soon as we finished, Katie showed up with a great bit sectional for the main floor from the Dania warehouse. I'll post pictures of the kitchen in the next day.

Sylvie enjoying the new sectional!

Tomorrow starts my planned "Blitz" week. Taking desk-job PTO to devote a full 6 days to the cabin to attempt to get within striking distance of calling for a final occupancy inspection.
