On our visit we were shocked to find the lake to be a good 2 or 3 higher than we've ever seen. We also noticed my dock and paddleboat had disappeared. My neighbour Lyle also lost one of his kayaks to Mother Nature. He set out in his other kayak and luckily he found my dock and paddleboat down the lake! I bought him dinner! No such luck with his other kayak.

I had the septic system install at the tail end of last year. It snowed during the install so I never got to see the results. My Buddy and lot this neighbour Lyle went up to check it out on Thursday. While I was there I staked out the approximate locations of the two A-frames. Plan is to do the smaller a-frame (SOLO100+) first. That will give me time to prep and save for the second A-frame which is a larger more complicated build. First we cleared the approximate opening for the building. Although the backhoe would be going in later to clear it, I wanted to get a feel for the space before I marked the area to fully clear. This was done by chainsaws by myself and my buddy Eddie. Our backhoe guy Francois came in did the septic install and further cleared the land perfectly. He is a maniac. It was late in the fall/early winter (the snow was falling), so we had no time to seed it. I went up in April for the first time to inspect. It was fantastic. Some areas were wet and soggy, but it will dry out and improve with the grass. I managed to stake out the building(s). I also needed to measure all distances of the building to septic/boundary/high water mark etc. This was hopefully my last requirement in advance of a building permit. |
