Check out this new "Hooligan" #sandcave #etching #carving #Kanab #Utah #nature #photograph #art #print that I uploaded to: https://pixels.com/featured/hooligan-skip-hunt.html

Our vacation home in Kanab is now complete. Some numbers:
* 43 blog posts documenting the construction
* 33 trips to Kanab over the past 14 months (lots of podcasts)
* Enjoyed one third of 2025 so far spent in Kanab

I’ve redone https://kanab.house to feature professional photos upfront and put the blog in the back. And it’s available to rent on Airbnb (see the listing for many more photos).

How did the plans from a year ago change as they came into contact with reality? Turns out, not too much. This was a fun blog post to write.

Floor plan from a year ago with changes marked in red

Driveway, walkway around the house, and rock wall in the back. Landscaping in progress.

House with a new driveway in front of beautiful red cliffs. Part of the xeriscape yard in front in complete, part of a rock wall can be seen behind the house.

Power! Lights! Internet! All the essentials of modern life. (Plumbing next week. Maybe.)

House in progress with stucco and stone columns pictured from south-west at night, with accent lights in the front and brighter lights by the garage.

Some more progress on our vacation home: the interior has been painted, the soffit is almost complete, and the office has a standing desk (sadly stuck at the lowest level until the electricians arrive). Also: snow.

Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch, Part Three.

Our final hike of 2024. What a great way to end the year!

Such an exciting but odd feeling to be in a narrow, tall slot canyon for so long. Photos look warm, but it was 41 degrees and felt even cooler in the canyon; especially when we had to wade through 6 or 7 puddles of freezing cold water up to my thighs, barefoot! Top 5 hike of 2024 for me.

Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch, Part Three.

Too many photos from this slot canyon. It looked like some variation of this for most of the 8 miles we did in there. I read in multiple places that Buckskin Gulch is the longest and deepest slot canyon in the world. Longest seems to be verifiable, but there are certainly plenty of deeper slot canyons. I think everyone who gets in a day hike here wants to return to hike or backpack the entire thing. Add me to the list, please.

Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass: Part Two

Wiregrass Canyon, Part Two: The side canyons.

There were so many. Some were washes. Some were slots. Some were easy. Some required scrambling and climbing. Some quite long, worthy of a full day hike on their own. Loved this one.

More progress, more pictures: countertops and shower tile.

Countertops installed on top of cabinets. Plastic covers some of the cabinets in preparation for painting and the outside of the windows in preparation for stucco.
