We&#8217;ve been insulating this place for a year now&#8212;most of it in our minds. But we wander around the national forest the cabin butts up against, looking at animal scat or interesting fungal growths on the trees. We have very long breakfasts, and then we read for a while. This trip we&#8217;ll be gathering and chopping firewood which is the most pleasant way I&#8217;ve ever fueled up. We&#8217;ll spend some time discussing the next step in our insulation plan. Which will morph into the room addition, the shower we fantasize about, and how we can get the little stream to give us enough water pressure to turn on a solar hot water heater. Hours.
