So We only have about 10 days until we must leave the "Lake House" and move to the forest. While I will really miss the lake view, the sound of the loons in the morning and kayaking! it will be great to have our own place, pay no rent and have a final home for my "Stuff". From the following pictures you can see that there is NO WAY we will be finished with the apartments, but no worries, we have a fifth wheel, maybe a sm. cabin, and the shop will be enclosed, insulated and rooms framed (complete with bathroom, laundry and cooking facilities).
Water!!! At last. The well diggers finally came back to finish their job.
We hit water at about 85 feet, 30-45 gal. a min. I'm told that is really good.
The initial framing is nearly finished. This is the front view, with 2 reg. garage stalls with storage/work rooms behind them, and the "drive thru high bay" which will have a storage room above it. The apartments are on the left end of the shop.
Keith and Kelly doing first stage pluming work. We also planed a washer/dryer for the shop, and a full bathroom w/ shower!! Nice for oily work clothes, stinky fish clothes, towels etc.
First family photo of Melany and Dallas in the "front door" of their apartment.
End view of the shop. The storage room above the high bay will be over 6 ft high in the center, tall enough to walk around in.
Kevin and Sam way up in the rafters
Keith doing dirt work on the well, getting it ready for the well diggers to place the pump and hook everything up. Keith especially loved this piece of equipment!! As did Stewie.
Inside the small garage bays,, we have walls!
2 Views of the apt. on the 2nd floor. Most of the framing is done, working on details now.
Back or south side of the shop. There will be a drive thru bay, from the main entrance to the other side of the property. No having to back a boat or trailer out here!
The door in the middle is the "Meat Processing Room" one of my favorite rooms in the entire shop! I've been waiting for this one for several years now.
