Most of the railing up and all the main floor hardwood floors are in.

2010-02-25T17:48:00.000-08:00

Railing starting to go up but lots of boreing mechanical stuff getting done that I find very interesting. Insulated toilet tanks to minimize condensation and water dripping from outside the tank. On the plumbing Blue = Cold Water, Red = Hot

Railings going up, Stair trim about done, Furnace ducting complete.

Things are coming together. Getting down to the details. Hope to see the kitchen installed in the next month sometime. You're really going to like that! Appliances will be delivered 2/23.

On February 1st Glady, Sam, Lee & Joe had the opportunity to visit the construction site. It was a very worthwhile working trip where many of the final decisions were made, light fixtures & appliances were picked out, kitchen & laundry room(s) layout finalized, and behinds were frozen off. Boy was it cold! about 5 degrees plus 25 MPH winds! All that said it was nice and toasty in the Lodge.

Tub in, Window trim nearly done in & out, Lower siding well on it's way. Uncle Glady, Joe & Sam to be on site Monday Feb 1st! Can't wait to see it up close & personel!

Window trim is mostly done, Chimney up, varathane work moving along.

2010-01-07T17:04:00.000-08:00

Trim is going up and looking great!

December 12-13 the lake froze over. Beautiful!

It's nice to know we won't have a bunch of ladder marks. What a great tool.

Materials for the railings

More insulation

Any body thinking about reservations for Christmas 2010? Thanksgiving, New Years, Fall Colors? This is going to be sweet!

Better them than me

A nice spot for a new kitchen

Views from the loft. Can't wait for glass. Coming soon.

Insulated to be warm and tosty.

2nd bath in the loft

Oh yah, shop space! Ours might need to be in the basement.

Bedroom with full bath to the left

Pretty fancy front door! (for during construction only)

12/7/2009 1st Snow - Good the roof is finished enough to keep it out. I would imagine it could get real slick up there. That porch will be nicer to sit out on without the snow

Dormers up 12/4/09

Beaver Lodge is well on it's way to becoming a reality. I am going to try and start posting all new construction pictures here.

Excavation started in mid to late September 2009

Even footings for the wrap around porch

Having a full unfinished basement with an overhead door opens up all sorts of options

Moose Camp in the background

Now this is getting exciting!

Wow!

Looking up into the loft

A furnace? Only for backup, we got lots of firewood to burn in the woodstove.

A birds eye view from the crane

These last pictures received from the builder via email on December 1, 2009

This is what it should look like when finished.

Mexican Holiday

2008-05-08T11:15:00.000-07:00

Wendy & Sam recently returned from a trip to Puerta Vallarta with Kathi & Leonard. We went Golfing, Zip Lining, dining in the finest establishments, to the Bull fights.... and the most exciting of all, drove around town in a rental car.

Getting Started

2008-01-16T12:12:00.001-08:00

In an effort to keep up with the kids and try to get into the current century we're going to give this a try. We'd love to hear from family and friends.
