Owner's Log Spring 2011:  Above are photos from 2010 September's tear-down.  We discovered LOTS of interesting bits from this historic cabin in which we judge might have been built in the late teens/early 1920's:  i.e. old windows, doorways and built-in shelves that had  been boarded up after a remodel at some point.  We uncovered 5 different kinds of wallpapers and wacky paint colors (see the aquamarine paint color from the back bedroom, along with two flowered wallpapers, a faux woodgrain and a faux pink tile 1950's wallpaper which we uncovered from behind the showerstall).  Our favorite was this vintage gold wallpaper (see photo above with Terry standing in the doorway leading to the old bedrooms) that lined the living room - we think it might have been from the 1940's?.  We kept pieces and framed it with some of the old windows which I'll be using as cabin art in the newly remodeled cabin.

We uncovered two layers of wallpaper and paneling in the living room and discovered some grafitti on a board stating "Jay slept here July '57".   Fun.  :) 

Also in the living room (behind where the sofa was placed for years - I had 2 duck prints above the sofa) we uncovered a boarded up hinged flap out window in which the sill was just covered in chicken feathers.   We are wondering if it is possible that this cabin could have been a coop when CWC was a chicken farm in the early 1920's?

We've basically kept the floors (after leveling them, and adding on another 14 feet to the east end which has added about 33% more square footage) and outside wall structure.  I've been arguing with the menfolk over windows and we reached a compromise:  6 of the windows are new (and exit code friendly) and 4 windows will be the vintage 9-pane windows which they will re-use from the old cabin.
