Fallish weather

The lake was gorgeous today. It is feeling like fall is near, the air is a little crisp and most people have left. I wandered around taking photos for the heck of it...


Lounge chairs on our dock.


Wind whirligig in our yard.

I love the change of seasons, so the end of summer is not so sad for me.

More lake house remodel

This was a big week for changes at the house. We were so-so lucky with the weather, it rained once and got the house a wee bit wet. I was called over to use a push broom to get rid of the standing water in the main floor. It hasn't rained since though, so we will keep our fingers crossed until the roof goes on.


Chris and Dad on the second floor which has no walls or roof anymore...

Our topless house on the left, my parents on the right.

Ken operating the boom truck we used to lift off the roof. It was quite the sight. Even the neighbors stood on their deck and watched.

I have more photos from today with walls up, but they are still on the camera so will have to wait for Chris to help get them off.

Enjoy!

Remodeling at the lake

We have been at the lake house for the last week and a half remodeling. I say we, but really Dad, Ken, and Chris have been remodeling. I have been cooking and providing moral support! =) We are adding on an entryway and a covered porch, taking the roof off, extending the upstairs walls to a full 8 feet, then putting a new roof on. The former loft upstairs will turn into 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry room. A big undertaking!


The garage side of the house where the new covered porch will be.


The lake side of the house.


Where the new entry addition will be.

We are home only for a couple days, then back to the lake to get the roof torn off and replaced quickly so the house is enclosed before icky weather sets in. (well, icky-er anyway...)
