I haz a new door!
Building A Cabin

Adding Doors

cassandra February 24, 2020

Saturday, February 22, 2020 I had been looking forward to today all week! I spent the past few evenings this week working hard building two doors for my cabin–one for the front, and one for the back. The two doors are pretty much identical: 3/4″ plywood, 24″ wide, 80″ tall,…

Framing the Walls

cassandra February 21, 2020

Presidents Day Weekend, 2020 Day One: The weather promised to be crap Saturday and Sunday, but I didn’t care. I was eager to get started building my cabin! I packed all my tarps–and I have a LOT of tarps!–my tools, and everything I needed for spending the weekend working at…

Building A Cabin

cassandra February 15, 2020

Friday, February 14, 2020 So I’ve decided to build a cabin tomorrow. I’m not sure how much of it I will get done. Although I have done some building in my time, I’m self taught and figure things out by trial and error. Lots of error. It’s one of the…

A Trip to the State Capital

cassandra February 13, 2020

Monday, February 10, 2020 My paid gig landed me a day at the state capital. Woohoo! Other than a quick drive by on a Sunday shortly after I’d moved to the area, I’ve never been there. Today gave me an opportunity to get up close and personal. To save myself…

Priest Point Park

cassandra February 10, 2020

Sunday, February 9, 2020 Another rare sunny day this winter! I got home early Sunday afternoon after spending the weekend in Seattle and was just itching to get out. I needed Vitamin D and exercise! It would have been a perfect day to head out to River Song. But, according…

The North Jetty

cassandra February 4, 2020

Saturday, January 4, 2020 I headed out the maze of narrow, winding roads leading out of Cape Disappointment State Park, looking for the road back to the resort, and a sign caught my attention. I could visit the North Jetty? I tapped the brakes and quickly turned left onto Jetty…

Exploring Cape Disappointment

cassandra February 4, 2020

Saturday, January 4, 2020 I was pretty tired by the time I left North Head Lighthouse. I’d already gone on two hikes and spent an hour listening to a very disappointing sales pitch. I debated just heading back to my condo, but decided I couldn’t leave without at least driving…

Exploring North Head Lighthouse

cassandra February 4, 2020

Saturday, January 4, 2020 I decided to continue heading south after leaving the Worldmark sales office early Saturday afternoon. There was still plenty of daylight left, and there were two lighthouses close by. I love lighthouses. My ex and I spend a whole week lighthouse hopping up and down the…

Mima Falls State Park

cassandra February 3, 2020

Sunday, February 2, 2020 Today dawned bright and clear, the first sunny day since mid November. I debated running out to River Song, but I’ve been trying to cut down on driving since I saw last month’s gas card bill. Between the two trucks and the weekend runs out to…

Time to Walk Away

cassandra February 2, 2020

Saturday, January 4, 2020 I’d mentioned in Wednesday’s post that I am tired of paying $800 a year in Worldmark maintenance fees, as well an $85 per use housekeeping fee for every stay beyond one per year. I’ve become increasingly unhappy with the annual dues increase, and especially so after…
