Draining the Pool

This summer's cottage project is simple. In preparing the building area for blasting this fall, we have to scrape the rock clean.

We began this weekend, by draining the water that had accumulated this spring.

Here's a pix before we borrowed the neighbours submersible pump:



And after:



(Oh, we also moved 2 big boulders, cut up and cleared a 30' cedar that fell just in front of our tent platform, moved rocks, brush and logs, built 1 washer box, partially installed a winch on the tractor, played rummi-Q and some other things I'm sure)

Another relaxing weekend at the cottage (to-be).
