Almost There

We've been anxiously awaiting some new pictures, had been told they would come Friday, they didn't come. We figured maybe he meant the next Friday...they didn't come. We did a weekend of cross border shopping looking for a deal on generators and propane fridges (we'll be going back before spring I think to pick up a few things). We came home expecting pictures, still nothing. I had to phone. I interrupted Dale's supper, and 20 minutes later we got the pictures. They pretty much speak for themselves in terms of progress made, needless to say we are so excited!

A bit of snow while framing


A bit dark and blurry, but a better sense of what it will look like

(visualize some windows and a patio door in the center. That's the screen porch to the left.)


A view from the east, just behind the bunkhouse.


A side view from the west. Shingles are on, you can see where our chimney will go.


Here's a bit of perspective for anyone who has seen the bunkhouse.

So the guys are done for the season, they'll be back out once there is an ice road. They have rails on the decks, soffits and facia, windows and doors and inside framing to do. After that, we let 'em go and we're on our own. With the help of a few good friends of course ;)
