When mom and dad first got married, they lived in a cabin on the mountain.
While us kids were growing up, we used it as a hunting cabin or a getaway spot.
As mom got older, the cabin became neglected, and it wasn’t being used. Dad was talking about selling the cabin, but I wanted it. He told me the cabin needed to be inspected, repairs made, and cleaned before anyone could have it. My husband and I volunteered to go up there and check it out. The first thing we noticed was that someone had broken into the house and was using it. There was debris everywhere and burnt wood in the fireplace. This worried me, because I had noted how the chimney appeared to be crumbling as we walked up to the door. I was upset over the damage that had been done, but no one had been here for almost three years. Once we made a list of all repairs, including the chimney and fireplace, we started cleaning. I called the local HVAC company and asked about having a mini split ductless HVAC system installed. I also asked if they knew of a fireplace and chimney repair company. They gave me the information and said they could send an HVAC contractor to the cabin the following day. In the meantime, we finished the cleaning and set the furniture to rights. Luckily, the furniture wasn’t damaged, but moved out of the way, like someone was camping in front of the fireplace. I wondered if someone wasn’t using it as a home when they had to get out of the cold.
