Rental Cabin to Home:

This was a rental cabin before it was our home. The person who bought it stayed here but I believe he rented it out too. When he died in an auto accident his wife didn't want to keep it so she sold it to our daughter and son in law. They used it occasionally and sold it to us. So we are changing it from a cabin to a home. We have been taking on a project one at a time. While the furniture was only 10 years old it was big and bulky and had some hard use. The beds were the same way. We have changed the furniture and beds, up graded the dressers, 

We removed the bulk including the large table in the kitchen, moved things around and donated much to a local charity that sells it for an animal rescue. We are slowly converting it from a rental to a home we are comfortable in. There  were at least a dozen pictures hanging on walls that went with the rental decor. Most were of bears or fish. There were all kinds of decorative items that we have donated to the animal rescue to sell. We replaced the refrigerator that was rusted and lacked a good seal but worked. 

Today we took the bathroom fan down and gave it a good cleaning. It was so dirty that it rattled and ground away. Now it is just a low hum and my guess is that it had never been cleaned since the cabin was built 40 years ago. Next is the range hood and I can see that is going to be equally hard..
