Greetings everyone!
I am asking for your help with my newest endeavor. I am living on the South shore of Lake Wabesa in a small cabin built in the late 1920s. The structure needs some work, which I am willing to do, but what I need is advice! Yes, your pontifications, experiences and way-cool ideas will help me stay true to the history of this place and insure it will continue to be a summer fishing destination, a relaxing escape and a year-round home for residents to come.
Thank you in advance!
P.S. I am starting this blog on the very day that this cabin was finished-81 years later. According to the current owner, who's parent's built it, the roof was put on "The Day Lindberg Landed"- May 21, 1928!

Refurbishing a 1928 cabin
Built by the current landlord's parents, this is a cabin on Lake Wabesa in McFarland, Wisconsin, a city with a history of summer cottages and great fishing. His dad, who use to drive truck and deliver varnish to the furniture makers in Rockford, Illinois, asked a bunch of carpenters to come up to his cabin "to fish"back in the late 20s when the economy started going south, and then had them help him finish the place! The roof was put on "the day Lindberg landed" (May 21, 1928).
