Almost there!






Hi again - we're are back from our last visit to check on the progress and are happy to report they will be done the shell as of next Friday! They've got the windows and doors in, and are well on their way to finishing the board and batten siding. They will install the deck posts...we are doing the railings (probably over our holidays during the August Civic Holiday week). We are going to have the contractor do the ceilings on the inside, and then the rest is ours (all other finishing inside, that is....).

Sorry for the delay....







Hi there - we (I - Carolyn) forgot to take our digital camera last weekend and we had to take pics with a disposable camera, and wait (Heaven forbid) to develop the roll. However, I have them on disk and am able to show you the progress from last weekend. Since then, we've heard from the builder that the windows and doors are all in, and they've started putting up the board and batten siding! Can't wait to check in with the place tomorrow night!!

I have camera packed for this trip, so hopefully we'll post new pics on Sunday night or Monday morning.

Our newest neighbour at the cottage!


This "little" guy was sunning by our beach last weekend. We hope it was a garter snake (as opposed to something not so benign), as Matthew felt the need to touch it! We've also had loads of deer prints on the beach, especially if we are there first thing in the a.m.

Here are some photos to date of our cottage build, as it has progressed from May until now. As we head up this weekend, we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather has cooperated, and that our builder was able to finish the roof, decking, and close the place in (albeit no windows or doors at this point). Check back next week for photos of what we find this coming weekend!
