Revamping an Abandoned Cabin: Our Exciting First Week

TLDRIn our first week working on our newly acquired abandoned cabin, we tackle mold and water damage, clearing trails, and making plans for the future.

Key insights

🌲The cabin is in rough shape with mold and water damage.

🔨We clear trails and remove fallen trees to improve access.

🏡The cabin will be demolished, but salvageable materials will be reused for the rebuild.

🔥We plan to burn scrap wood and use it as kindling to avoid waste.

🌳We appreciate the natural beauty of the property and take steps to preserve it.

Q&A

Should we rebuild the cabin on the same spot?

No, due to moisture issues and potential flooding, we plan to rebuild on higher ground.

What will happen to the salvageable materials?

Salvageable materials, such as windows and the stove, will be reused for the rebuild.

How do you plan to dispose of the non-salvageable materials?

We will burn the scrap wood and use it as kindling. Other non-burnable materials will be responsibly disposed of.

What are your long-term goals for the property?

We aim to create a beautiful and functional cabin while preserving the natural surroundings. We envision it as a place to relax and connect with nature.

When will the rebuild begin?

We are taking our time to plan and prepare. The rebuild will likely start in the spring.
