Downtime

So, like most projects things came to a bit of a stand still for a few weeks, as with the colder weather the boat has been put away for the season. Meaning, we have no idea what is happening on Dominique Island. And the contractor was MIA for just over a week, appears he was on a hunting trip. So I'm itching to post new pics but have none to speak of. During the week of no contact Niall and I were left wondering if the floor ever did get up. We were assured it had not by our neighbour out there, which in turn prompted a few phone calls to the contractor. We did hear back from him early this week and he had every confidence that the floor would be done by Wednesday. Sure enough, the same neighbour is a pilot and he let us know he flew over Dominique the other day and had a nice aerial view of the rectangle from about 6000 ft. Hooray! And then the contractor (whose name is Dale) called and said he would email a few pics of the floor, so I'm waiting (im)patiently for them to show up.

In the meantime, I've been getting excited about indoor projects for the lake and have been starting myself a used furniture collection. So far we've got a double/single bunk, two twins, a sofa bed and a futon. Enough to sleep a couple families we figure, or host a giant slumber party. We also bought used cabinets for our kitchen which Niall and I are having great debates over. We're trying to decide between crazy-funky and sleek-modern. I don't know, there's so much to think about!

Ugly, stinky cabinets which need TSP and lots of elbow grease

They will be beautiful someday

Someone's homemade futon we got off Used Winnipeg.com, our latest addiction...

I plan to paint and recover at some point.
