    Nice to see the First Bank of Sarah back at the cabin! Every cabin needs a woman's touch. Good move when she took that rocking chair out of the corner into the main room. I think a loveseat would work great in that space too. Hey, remember that one time you thought shake shingles would be a great idea as siding...:)! They look great, but a lot of work. The end is near!!!

    The mid-century modern chairs go surprisingly well with an off-grid cabin. I would think a cabin with lend itself more to a rustic styling but the sleek lines of the mid-century modern really looks good

    mike, looks great so far. here's a hint. the love seat would be a great idea but use a sleeper the coffee table is not needed. the hutch can go on the wall next to the bathroom. space and shelving too make up the entry maybe a small wall to cut the space in section to each room space. there are other things to do, but not a bad start.'

    The wrist brace. I had an incident where some mother's sweet child dropped a 2lt. Bottle of Coke on my wrist. Six months of physical therapy and not much better. Chiropractor was at my work and noticed that I was still wearing the brace and asked me a few questions. Looked at my wrist and pushed. Pop, pop, pop. No more pain. The small bones in my wrist were out of place! I hope that it is that simple for you.
