For any of you that ARE NOT Fenn family members reading this, Erik's brother, Mark lives in Madagascar Africa but built this cabin as his home for Minnesota and since he is home very rarely the cabin has gone unused for a while and could use some updates.
First, I wanted to say thanks to Steve because I know that he has put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the cabin over the years also. So have Erik's Mom and Dad, and it is NOT our intent to make this cabin just our hangout. We simply want to make it a great place that we can all use but we might also be able to rent out occasionally for groups / vacationers. In order to do that, we need to spruce it up a bit....So, here we go!!!
The family that Mark had rented the place to left a bunch of trash items on the property so Erik and I loaded all of those items into a dumpster as well as Erik cleaned out the shed, raked the yard and put down fertilizer.
I mostly focused on the inside, Erik assisted with the basement, moving furniture and old items out as well as the electronics and painting..Thanks babe...kinda nice without the kids for 2 days!!!
look at the dumpster!









There were a couple of surprise encounters..mainly this one of Erik and the tree that fell down, looks like we need to invest in a chainsaw for the property cuz this baby could heat us all winter if we needed it to!!!
