Looking out the window of the master bedroom.  If the windows were the correct ones, we could have also put the trim work around them, but we are STILL waiting for the correct replacements.  He also got the old mantle put on.  He did an excellent job fitting it to the opening.  Amazing work.

A close up of the main floor bathroom slate tiles that Lloyd laid this week.

Look how professionally  Lloyd scribed the wood to the rock of the fireplace in the master bedroom.

This is the wall that is opposite of the window in the master bedroom. The bed will sit against this wall.

A full wall of old cabin paneling in the master bedroom.
Lloyd has accomplished so much in a week's time-the paneling hung with wafer board behind first, both in the master bedroom and main floor bathroom, the tile laid in the main floor bathroom, a little framing, hanging the front door and getting the deck going.  He got about a third of the deck done today.  He is truly amazing, smart and knows what he is doing!!!

This is the slate tiles of the main floor bathroom.  We hope to get it functioning so we can get rid of the Porty potty!  And yes it is the cedar wood from the old cabin walls.  Makes you feel nostalgic!


This is looking through the window @ the decking, not a very good picture but lots of progress!

Also Lloyd has been working on the deck.  It was scary seeing him put the ice shield on each of the framed boards to prevent decay.  He is so clever and knows so much about building and doing it well.  It has been an absolute delight to have him working for us.  We were so grateful he could take the time away from his work.




The Front Door is hung!!!!

So many thanks to Kate, Tillie, and Lloyd for this door.  Kate made it, Tillie did the stained glass and Lloyd hung it  yesterday.  It is incredible and we feel so privilaged to have such talented siblings.  What a huge amount of work went into it.  Thanks and many thanks to all!!  It is incredibly beautiful!!

To see it up close and with light coming through the stained glass, is a treat for your eyes!  It is such a delight to add to the place!

Lots of Insulation!

So Nick went crazy taking pictures of the before and after on the insulation.  Try to guess where each picture is taken!  And then I will tell you hopefully!!!
 This is the 3 windows you look out over the lake as you come in the front door!

These are some of the trusses!

This is the temporary front door.  Keep going and you will see the beautiful front door hung!


Front entry looking into one of the single garages!!!

Over the top of the stair case ceiling!




This is the guest bathroom window and the ceiling is the floor of the garage and entry!

Closet of a guest bedroom, the only bedroom that has a closet!

Wall of one of the bedrooms.  Little moisture gathered on the floor.  We had to take this insulation down and blow foam on these walls @ the request of the inspector.  Just another grand!
