We Have Walls!

We have walls! The weather has been sunny and dry this week with everyone working like busy bees...some of the interior wall are up as well so we are beginning to see what everything will really look like. After a couple of years of pouring over plans and computer models, it's so exciting to see it in reality. I hope the weather holds!

Weekends on the lake bring sailboats from all around southern New Brunswick. They sail up the Saint John River to race or just to linger in the harbors, soaking up the summer sun. This pretty boat anchored in the center of the lake in front of our place on Sunday afternoon ~ a tranquil spot on a lazy August afternoon. We spent the day poking around, barbequed and did a little stargazing after dark...a really nice day.

And then, on Monday, all the crews arrived, the machines moved in and the digging began...FINALLY!

What an amazing sight ~ the old cottage loaded on a flatbed trailer!

The first scoop :)

The end of Day 1 ~ the old foundation cleared away, new septic system installed and the hole for the new foundation is started ~ yay!
