My husband and I had a hunting cabin built in the middle of the woods.
The cabin was nothing more than an A-frame building, with one large room and a small kitchen on the lower floor, and a bedroom on the upper level.
I asked where the bathroom was going to be and he looked at me. He said a hunting cabin was for roughing it. We were going to have an outhouse. I would not stay in a cabin that didn’t have an indoor bathroom. He added a small room off the kitchen, where we would have an indoor outhouse, which wasn’t much better. The only good part was that I wouldn’t go outside in the middle of the night. The next subject I brought up was heating and air conditioning. He had already been planning on putting a wood-burning stove in the cabin, but I wanted air conditioning. We changed the plans again when he agreed to ductless HVAC. He now realized we also needed electricity if we wanted lights and a ductless HVAC system. His rustic cabin was only going to be rustic in appearance. I had an electric stove with a microwave and several other kitchen accessories. The pièce de résistance was the ductless HVAC system so we could come to the cabin any time of the year. He grumbled the entire time the electrician was at the house. He grumbled even more when the HVAC technician left and handed us a hefty bill. He didn’t grumble so much when it snowed the first time we were at the cabin, and we had HVAC to keep us warm.
