Some of you might remember the thread I made back in October 2007, when my family's cabin was burned down in the California wildfires. It had been designed by my great-grandfather and built by my grandfather. I had many wonderful memories of going there several times a year my whole childhood. Well, the cabin was so meaningful to my family, that my grandfather decided to build a new one on the same spot. Although, he's had to hire workers rather than building it by hand this time. But the new cabin is looking beautiful, and almost done. This was the old cabin that burned down: Here it is after the fire. That's my grandfather standing on the rubble: Here's the construction as it has progressed. It should be finished sometime this summer, and the whole family will go up there: My daughter Lily in front of the new cabin

Right now I'm working on a scrapbook. Half is photos and written memories from the original cabin. The other half will be the new cabin.

Its looks like it is coming along fine, and the book is a nice touch. You'll be creating new memories and adding them to the old ones

What paid for the rebuild? My Grandpa. ----- Here's a few pages of the scrapbook. The colors look so much better in real life... but you get the idea.

The cabin is almost done being built. I went up there over the weekend and took A few photos. Here's the outside. It's pretty much done. Lily and I are in one of the bedrooms. Most of the work is being done inside the cabin now.
