I'm finally retiring at the end of March and Mrs. Irish and I have been wanting to build an addition to the cabin ever since we built it. We planned for it from the beginning, and now we are going to have the time to do it ourselves.

Starting this week, I'm cutting my hours down to just 3 days a week and only working Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to burn up my vacation days before retiring the first week of April. I've been apprehensive about it for sometime, but now I'm starting to get excited about it.

I'm the kind of person that is not going to just sit around. I'm a project manager at work, so I need stuff to do and keep busy, and to that end I made a quick sketch to lay out the new addition to the cabin. It will be my first big retirement project. Thank goodness Mrs. Irish got a lot of experience building the cabin with me.

With the addition we will get a new master bedroom, master bath, living room with a morning kitchen and bar area, large shared closet, and an area for either a laundry room or a make-up room for her. Plus a lot of extra outdoor deck space to enjoy the view and the outdoors.
