Edgecomb cabin "tour"

Edgecomb Rd Cabin
on
10.5 Acres
in
Belfast, Maine
A tour of the cabin through pictures (with some
words that would have liked to have been a poem)
Thursday, August 13, 15

From Edgecomb Road, you won’t likely see the
cabin, so let’s pull in and take a peek.
...
Though we could drive the distance to the
cabin, the ﬁeld desires our snowy footprints.
...
Now 800 ft of footprints follow us...only 100 ft
to go; let’s pause by the solar panels.

The ﬁnal 100 ft of prints has
now been added to the snow.

Did you notice the chimney smoke?
Let’s go inside!

The front door holds
back the chill, and in no
time, our shoes are off.
Let’s take a closer look.

The side door and more down that little hall.
I don’t want to go out yet though.
Let’s turn to the left, going around,
counter to the clock.

The front door again--where this tour
began.
Though leaving is still not yet my plan.
I want to take a closer look at the kitchen-
sink nook.

What’s up stairs?

Turn a little to the right.

Now look at the
hallway while lying on
the ﬂoor.

A secret trapdoor!
(Or it could, perhaps, be a not-so-secret trapdoor.)
...
Now, stay where you are and look up.

A place to sit way up high to look at the sky.
...
Borrow my pogo stick for a better view.

Once back on the ground, turn a little
more to the right and look down.

The steep stairs you just ascended.
Now back to your left.
(Are you starting to feel like you’re dancing?)
Now let’s waltz down the hallway, and turn
to your right.

The ﬁrst bedroom and its western light.

Now turn to your right.
(Swing your partner.)

Turn a little further, and
promenade across the hall (into
the second bedroom).

Four steps forward, quarter turn to your right,
then skip down the hall, right back to the stairs.

Teleport down the stairs!
Then two steps to the left
(in the hall that leads to
the side door) and peer in.

French door painted
white--windows and all.
(“Pay no attention to the
door behind the ﬂowered
curtain.”)
One step forward and
turn to your right.

Gravity-fed shower delight.
Now quarter turn right
and three steps forward.

Behind the door: the cool-cabinet
pantry--home of the solar-powered,
12V, chest refrigerator and storage
for food and other things.

Speaking of cool, shall we head back
outside?
If you make a quarter turn to the
right, we can go out the side door.
What? You want to lay your eyes
on the main room one more time?
Then turn your back to the side
door (just for now), take three
steps forward, and voila!

When you’re ready to go,
just spin back around, and
we’ll resume the show.

Ah, the fresh air!
And before us, the combination
toilet / garden shed
and
a three-compartment compost bin.

While we’re out here, let’s do a circuit
around the cabin.
Turn around to look at the cabin’s north side
containing the side door we just exitted.
Then head to the right to see the west side.

Here on the west side, the two
big kitchen windows.
(With a view of the front door
through the right-hand one.)
Now if you look up, ...

The windows of the ﬁrst
bedroom and a drop-down
metal ladder.
Now, onward to the south side.

The windows of solar
gaining: big ones with
grills and a smaller
clear-opening one for
the cabin and a sliding
glass door for the
greenhouse.
Speaking of solar, take
a peek in the grey box.

A solar batch heater for
summer water heating.

A solar batch heater for summer water heating
and
A pully and cleat (visible in the next picture) for
opening and closing the lid of the batch heater’s
insulated box (operable from inside the cabin,
through the window).

Continuing all the way around
the house, back to the...

...the side door start.
...
Now back to the front to assure
a proper closing of the tour.
