My son and I. My wife took the picture. We are building out cabin an hour north of town.
Accessible only by freighter canoe during the summer, and snowmobile during winter and spring.
I can't wait to work on it some more. I was hoping for three years to complete, but looks like it will be five instead. We started the foundations summer 2019.
