More construction pix


By 9:30 p.m. tonight our family was finally together again. Even grandma and grandpa are here!
Quick unpacking and some snacks, then a look at the latest pix. So exciting!
Et voila - loaded onto this blog before midnight.

Weekend of Aug 22-23
Rooms on main floor were laid out. This pix taken from the back of the kitchen - looking to the pantry, powder room and Grandma's room.


View from the top floor - that's me pointing at the staircase, trying to figure out the railings.

Cottage Construction

As soon as I figure out how to install Flickr on this site I will post lots of progress pix. Here are a few snaps of the transformation of Lot 6:

Here's how the front looks as of Aug 16:


And some interior shots from the main floor:
Looking out what will be the big windows in the living room (grey building - our spa shed - will be relocated to the site of the highest bidder)
And yes, we will have to thin a few of the trees to get a better view of the lake.


Look, look, look, lookin' out my back door:

Thanks everyone for sharing in our excitement!
