Porch Re-do – Painting
Here are pictures after Porch re-do painting and porch roof papered – all completed on August 3rd, 2019.
Porch Re-do
This past week Ty and Papa began a project… and when I say project, I mean project with a capital “P”. There were logs and beams and power tools galore. Bobby took the logs up the first day, and Jennifer Ann and the girls also went up the first weekend. They striped the roof off of the porch and began to dismantle the sagging beams and planks of the roof and floor. According to Ty, the swamp pit below the floor of the porch was a sight to behold.
Needless to say, Papa and Ty did an amazing job prepping and starting the new porch. By the time Nana and I arrived the following Wednesday eve (in the thick fog – another story), the new porch was well under way.
I helped on Thursday with the larger logs to support the front roof beam, as well as the 8 inch logs that will make the front railing. Papa says he wants it to reflect more of the original porch style when it was built in 1935-36.
I worked muscle groups I had long forgotten about. Sheesh.
Did the project get finished this week? No. But that is not the point. The time with family and the accomplishments we had were amazing. It is a blessing to watch and be part of.

Bighorn Reservoir
On Tuesday July 2nd I took Papa up to Bighorn Reservoir. He hadn’t been there in quite some time. We walked out above the outlet pipe for great Verizon service. No AT&T service – lucky for me. Here is a photo.
On the way back we ran into some elk crossing the road.
Introductions
Hi! Welcome to Nana’s Cabin. This blog is mainly to help record the journey our family is taking with a cabin in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Nana is my mother-in-law, and we are the Reeds. Let me introduce you to us:
Nana and Papa – Kirk and Cathy
It was Nana’s dream to have a cabin in the mountains for our family. We have always been a group that loves to camp together. We also have a yearly get-together with extended family in the mountains we affectionately call the Reed Rendezvous. When this cabin became available, we knew it would need some TLC, but the prospect of having a place for us all to gather in the mountains was priceless. (Well, not exactly, but you know…)
Next we have my hubby’s older brother Bobby, his wife Jennifer Ann (more on the significance of this later), and their girls.
In between Bobby and my hubby comes his sister, Jennifer Marie and her son.
And finally we have my hubby, Ty, me – Jennifer Danielle, or Jenni, and our 2 kids.
Now you may have noticed a trend, and if you didn’t, seriously, look closer. Ha ha!! There are 3 Jennifers in our family. We have affectionately numbered ourselves with Jennifer Marie as #1, Jennifer Ann as #2, and me… well I’m just 3. 🙂

Bridge Wash Out
Memorial Day Weekend – 2018
The bridge washed out Memorial day as we were all heading home! Nana did it!
These photos were taken as the water flow increased because of rain over the weekend. Bobby had crossed it earlier in the morning. As Nana, Papa, and I left Nana went first and the bridge tried to float away after she went accross it. We reassembled it and I crossed it with the Yukon, but we had to leave behind Bobby’s big truck that Papa was driving. Papa should have more photos.
This is what the bridge looked like before we removed it. Lots of broken and missing deck poles.
