Finnick and OTA
The cabin was done, or as done as it could be for now, they were all moved in, and ready to entertain guests. There was food- Finnick had boiled a big bucket of shrimp- and music provided by Chloe's lap top.
The cabin was the result of over two months hard work and he was proud to show it off. It wasn't fancy, but it was a real house, with log walls, a brick chimney and fireplace, and a strong roof. It had two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, living room and a loft. The floors were finished hardwood, as was the paneling on the interior walls which matched the stacked log exterior walls. The kitchen and bathroom weren't quite done yet, mainly because they didn't have running water hooked up, but pretty much everything else was. It wasn't just a shelter, it was a home they could be comfortable living in for years and raising their child in.
He'd learned a lot building it and could use that knowledge to help others in the future. He'd also had a lot of help from other people, and he was determined to pay them back, or pay it forward, or both.
The door was open so people were free to wander in and out. There wasn't much furniture inside yet. Just their bed in the larger of the two bedrooms and a simple table and two chairs where the dining area would be. There was also a porch swing on the front porch. It hadn't been that difficult for Finnick to build a bench with a back and then attach it to the porch ceiling with some heavy chain from the building supplies. Given the climate, he could imagine that they would spend a lot of time sitting out on the porch. The house was positioned so that the porch would be in the shade in the afternoon.
