He&#8217;d like them to get moved into it this month, but I&#8217;m thinking he might be a little optimistic. The wiring and plumbing is done but there&#8217;s still sheet rock taping and mudding to go and that&#8217;s a process, for sure. We all hate it! He does have the bathroom tiled and the vanity in place, as well as the shower finished. So, it&#8217;s coming along. But it&#8217;s hard with him working and driving 1\u00bd hours one way to get back home to his family in Grand Rapids. He&#8217;s been staying at the cabin some nights so he can work on it, as much as possible, though. We&#8217;d all like spring to come soon!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9774\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9774\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Flowers_8360-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It won&#8217;t be long now, folks\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m doing exercises three times a day, plus using the leg flexing machine, icing my leg, and going to rehab three times a week so even though I&#8217;m not busy with seeds and canning, I am very busy.
