First weekend at the cabin this year ❤️. Planting things and felling things and saying hello to lots of other things after the long winter.

#CabinLife #Finland #sauna #PotatoBox #Ardbeg

Interior view of a cabin in sunlight. On the left a doorway to a porch. On the right a whitewashed fireplace with flames visible through its glass hatch.

Outdoor view of a wooden planting box freshly filled with earth. Beyond, a small barrel-shaped sauna, with a woodshed behind.

A large aspen lies freshly felled on the ground, neatly placed between other, younger trees and bushes. The wielder of the chainsaw stands next to the tree with his back to the camera and his fists on his hips.

A bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail and two glasses on a table by a large window. Beyond the window is a porch with wicker table and chairs, and beyond that a view to a lake surrounded by birch, pine and spruce forest.

Took the #Skidoo to the cabin this afternoon. Whiteout. And not the #NHLJets kind.#CabinLife #Nunavut

An orange and black snowmobile parked in front of a cabin in a snowy landscape with overcast skies.

Leah and I spent our first night at the cabin last night. A milestone. This was the sky last night at midnight. #CabinLife #Nunavut

A light blue midnight school with wispy clouds. The horizon is bright with a hint of orange. The mountain and ocean are covered in snow and shadow.

Trying to make a silk purse from a sow’s ear. Failed but it will do. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Tools of the trade. #CabinLife #Nunavut #Coffee

A coffee mill and a Technivorm coffee maker sit on a temporary counter next to a Milwaukee cordless brad nailer.

Long mitred joints are now my jam. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Two sets of two long hardwood boards glued together at right angles.

Cabin views tonight. #CabinLife #nunavut

Looking across a frozen bay on the Arctic Ocean toward mountains and low hills. A deep blue sky punctuated with an orange horizon and wispy purple clouds.

Two Arctic Hare feed under a nearly full moon.

An Arctic Hare sits near the corner of a cabin on the tundra

The Dead Bunny Chronicles. Maggie and Julie discuss that time Julie found a toilet surprise in the little cabin.

Built in shelves are finished. Closer and closer to the finish line. #CabinLife #Nunavut

A set of built in shelves in a cabin. The face is red oak. The interior of the shelves is a deep blue. In front of the shelves is a built in bench.

Almost there. Progress anywhere. #Nunavut #CabinLife

Set of built in shelves. Dark blue interior with hardwood face frames. Still not completed. Some shelf faces still need to be installed.

Long day with little visible progress. Fixed the shelving error from the other day and f’d around with a ton of tiny details. Making the weirdness work and (hopefully) seem less weird. Like the look of the corner face frame on the shelf. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Interior of the cabins showing loft, stairs, a built in bench and shelves and cabinets.

Thought I was doing well tonight getting the shelves in place, but a mistake at the start compounded. As they always do. Sitting back to plan the face frame I saw the error. Now I have to redo it tomorrow. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Interior view of the cabin. Looking at the loft, stairs, built in shelving and bench, and feature wall.

The built ins have been pretty much built in now. Shelves need to be plumbed and made flush with each other. And everything needs a face frame. But, big step done. #CabinLife #Nunavut
