92 Year Old Mountain Cabin Gets a Face Lift
I want to share the kitchen journey with you!
Oh, and we didn't have running water for a year. We had to haul it all from friends and neighbors houses, as well as chip the ice off the stream to get water to flush the toilet. It was fun first winter! I felt like such a pioneer.
Enjoyed the project?

I own an old trailer on a lake. It's a disaster. A broken pipe cause a 78,000. Gallon flood. The kitchen cabinets and floors were warped and I literally fell through the floor once. I'm living under the poverty level so can't afford to replace much more than the floors and used roofing panels because they were cheaper than plywood. Everyone I know tells me I should sell it to my neighbor that wants the property to build a garage and storage building. Your renovation has inspired me to tackle this huge DIY project. I'm going to turn my house into my home. Ordering brackets for kitchen shelves today!!

I'm so sorry I didn't see your comment until today! You posted last August! How's the work going? Did you get your brackets and get some shelves up?
Sounds like you have a huge amount of work to do, but it feels so good to 'get it done' and enjoy knowing you did it!
Roofing panels on the floor is a great idea! I'm all about doing the best I can do with what I have and that usually means cheap. You can always make them beautiful with paint and a pretty stencil!
Hoping the best for you and that your home turns out just the way you want it!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Is the copper sink hard to clean? Whats the upkeep on it? Looking at one but not sure how they hold up.
Can you tell me more about planking the wall with fencing? Thank you!
The makeover is fantastic, thank you for sharing this project with us.
I always wanted to ask someone so I will ask you since you reply so completely to questions asked: when you say "I' when talking about the work is it actually just you doing it all or did your husband do the hard parts? I would love to tackle something like this and although not "easy" your information is very thorough and helpful, but I am not sure I could do all that. What tools did you use (that I probably don't have) ..am I being over confident that I could attempt such a reno?
