Mud Room Addition

We have had an idea to add a multi-purpose room to the cabin for some time.  It started as a very small laundry room built off the kitchen.  Then we thought why not make it a little bigger and add a mud sink to rinse off muddy boots and rain coats.  Several good ideas later and we have a full 12x16 addition with an exterior door and deck.  When completed the room will also have a shower, open faced lockers for waders, raincoats, etc. and bunk beds to sleep 4.  We call it scope creep!
