April 9th 2011
We spent our first real weekend of 2011 in the cabin and it is coming together beautifully. We are very thankful to Keone, Keith, Will, Colin and our neighbors who helped make it happen. It has been a year since construction began, but worth the wait. The kitchen counters and windows are in, and the finished exterior doors are coming soon. The snow is just starting to melt and mud season has begun... We spent last weekend trimming the windows and settling in, but work will continue for a month or two... The porch will be screened-in by the time the May flies come!
REFRIGERATION with Solar Power
The whole camp runs on SOLAR POWER (with a large battery system and propane generator back-up) that means no standard refrigerator. "Sunfrost" refrigerators use 1/5 the power--they have about 4 inches of insulation and run with no fans. See Sunfrost Refrigeratators at http://www.sunfrost.com/
This fridge is custom built by clever elves in Arcata, California... just ordered one today.

Halloween at Lolly Willows!
Construction continues on the cabin... It's looking just as imagined but better, very bright inside with all the windows. The shell is complete and most of the roof is on. By Thanksgiving it will have heat and be habitable, but work will continue through winter. ( Click to enlarge photos)
Not completely dressed yet: Lolly is waiting for her hip roof on the west side and a stained glass diamond-shaped window under the eave.
Click to enlarge the winter wonderland view... Jay Peak is already ski-able.
Haunted?
The old campsite needs to be dismantled before the avalanche comes
Miniatures for strength.
Pine flooring to go in last. The wood stove is ready to be fired up.
Pesky blood sucking gobblins
Pumpkin at the Pine Crest Motel.
Taxidermy human head
Jay Peak is waiting...bunny slopes?
