We've made a lot of changes at the cabin. The wood siding has been painted a color to match the mortar between the logs, the back porch has been finished, screen doors added, plants (infested with scale) removed and replaced, new rock driveway, new woodshed, and grading in the yard to divert water.
I'm happy with the changes inside, too. The kitchen is very functional. Instead of built-in cabinets we went with furniture. It makes the "counter top" a bit low, but nothing else would have fit in there anyway.
Hargis has reached the point that we can let him run loose there. He still barks at the cows across the road - I suspect he's afraid of them. We have a big, fat groundhog that has moved in under the house. We've filled up his entrance hole several times, but he just digs it out again. We've decided to let him stay as long as he doesn't damage anything. We've named him Murray (for Bill Murray).
Mike is doing well. He has his next PET scan this coming Friday. I'm nervous.
