πŸ›– Cambodian Cabin Renovation Project [Act II] 🎬 Litter & Baby Catcher Complete 🚯

Two of the cabin renovation projects are now complete, the trash heap blocking wall and a baby/litter barrier, all made from wood to keep with the theme.

The Last Chili 🌢️

Β  Β  Β Before I go into details about the latest wave of construction, I would like to show you the last chili of the garden. This little red beauty was hanging on for dear life after all his friends had either been eaten or fallen off. The only patch of good soil we had on our land will now become part of the new house, kind of a bummer.

The Wood Pile Grows πŸͺ΅

Β  Β  Β For the past several weeks, we all have been contributing to the woodpile, roughly sorting things according to size and grade. After the fence and patio projects were completed there was a lot of leftover wood, but the guys sort of left it all where it fell. The poor Indiana farm boy was taught never to let things go to waste, and besides there is plenty of value and repurposing potential left in all these scraps and planks.

🏞️ Loving The New Vibe πŸ›Ÿ

Β  Β  Β In the previous cabin renovation post, I shared with you the finished wall in the above photo. Well, it's kind of a wall, I like the staggered picket style that allows a bit of wind and light to pass through. The wall has now been stained and the neighbor's trash heap is no longer a constant eyesore. I continued the style into the corner seat and the rest of the handrail, and it's made the space a little more usable during the constant rain and wind we have here. Having a barrier around the bottom also prevents trash and valuables from flying over the edge of the deck.

⛰️ The Views Aren't Bad

Β  Β  Β As I was taking photos, I noticed it was not long before sundown, so I killed a few minutes and waited for the sun to start dipping behind the mountain. There's a really beautiful twilight over the outline of the mountains each evening, and it never gets any less beautiful.

Β  Β  Β I usually don't take vertical photos, but I've noticed that I am unable to fit the view of the rapids, forest, and mountains all in one shot horizontally. I decided to break from my comfort zone and take this vertical shot to showcase the view from our veranda, absolutely out of this world.

Β  Β  Β We also have finally installed a gutter to catch the rain runoff from the roof. It used to hit the hit the handrail and spray in all directions, making the veranda space unusable during even the lightest of rains. We can enjoy a corner of this space during even the hardest of sideways rain. The tiny pickets on the bottom half of the handrail also make me feel more comfortable when families with small children stay here, such a long fall. Okay, that sums it up for now, time to get this post and save some time for engagement.

The view from your veranda is awesome, especially with the river below.
Maybe one day you can cash a fishing string from the comfort of your veranda. hahah

It is beautiful indeed, we love it here. My family and I are vegan, so we don't eat any fish, but plenty of villagers cast nets and use fishing poles in the river. Technically though it is illegal because this is a wildlife sanctuary, no hunting, fishing, or treecutting permitted, but of course this is Cambodia, the law means nothing here.

You have an outstanding view! People would pay to have that view, and there you live right at it. The river looks so cool. I can imagine the sound of rushing water.

As much as we love living in the cabin, it's only one room, and the four of use are a bit crowded, and I know our teenager wants privacy. When our house is finished we will take the most undesirable location near the highway and allow the guests to enjoy the views, but that is okay with me because they'll be paying for it 😊

There is so much work left to do, but I think it is already quite comfortable for guests.

Hmm, it's also a lot you have done for it to remain just little to be done. You have done most of the work already and I feel it would attract more guest in.

It is amazing, and sometimes we take it for granted until we visit a big city and return home,

Yes, we feel so lucky to live here, I only wish the other villagers respected the beauty of this place a little more.

I hope so too. Living in the city for so long make me happy to see and experience nature.
