July 4th at the Cabin

Hi everyone!!!
When we went to the cabin for the 4th of July there was a total of 18 people at the cabin at one time. 16 people slept there, and it was definitely at it's full capacity. Even Don and Shirley Hughes made it to the cabin for the day on the 3rd.
Couple of things we noticed that need want to bring to all cabin users attention.
When we arrived and turned on the gas, we noticed that the bathroom light had been left on. We didn't notice it until we smelled it. (Could have been dangerous)
Also - the D-con which works great (no critters heard at night) needs to be left in places either up off the floor, or in the fireplace. We were hunting for it to make sure that our dogs did not find it and eat it when we weren't watching, and we did find it in several reachable spaces.
The shower was draining into the basement. There was a pipe not fully connected under the shower. Dustin crawled into the space and fixed it hopefully permanently. We are not sure how long it was draining into the basement.
The bathroom shower is beautiful!!!! Thank-you Ryan.
There was not much room on the shelves behind the kitchen door for food items - there is a lot of stuff there that needs a new home. Also the shelves over the refrigerator/stove.
I have a request - there is a lot of stuff in both closets, and it makes it very difficult to unpack and make yourself at home for the stay in the cabin. I think that if everyone purchases plastic storage containers and pops them upstairs it would be easier for everyone visiting.
Some of the men cut down a tree behind the cabin that was dead. There is plenty of wood to cut up and put under the cabin. We gave it a start - but there is alot left to do.
The cabin is a true testimony to what our parents and grandparents were trying to provide for our families, and our family had a great time last week.
