work on the cabin by himself.\u00a0 He\u2019s hoping to get it livable by the time my dad and stepmom return from their summer cabin in Upper Michigan.\u00a0 Right now we are borrowing their house on the same property as our cabin.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Galilee has a bedroom in my dad\u2019s place that she should be able to stay in, and Areli and Tyndale are already sleeping in the cabin
