Gramma took the kids down to the lake on the last day of school and we followed that evening after work. Since the kids weren't in the van we were able to take a couple sheet of drywall and 10 sheets of beadboard for my beloved screen room.
Surprisingly (to me anyway) they fit in the boat longways and didn't have to hang across over the water. Good to know we can get some more drywall down in the summer as we need at least another 10 sheets according to Dale.
On Tuesday night we spent our last official night in Cabin 1. On Canada Day I cleaned out most of our things from the kitchen, bedroom and other nooks and crannies and we moved it over to the sawdust and drywall-strewn marvel we call Cabin 5. Gah! I can't believe we are going to move in and start sleeping and cooking there. I have no kitchen, running water, sink, etc. but I am determined to make it work.
Dale and I are going back on July 6th for two weeks and bringing down whatever we can carry that I think we need... pots and pans, cutlery, a kettle, etc., plus all the food for a couple of weeks. It's going to be a little awkward but exciting at the same time. I can't wait to spend the first night there with the kids on the air beds.
Onwards and upwards,
About Me
- Lynn
- I'm a crabby, middle-aged woman who along with her family, is building a cottage at Ingolf, Ontario. The entire reason for having male children is becoming clear to me now. Cheap, forced labour. You want to eat? Sure, just as soon as 3 more sheets of drywall are up... Join me on this odyssey as we build Cabin Five at Ingolf and hopefully live to tell the tale.
