Comment: Please excuse the stupid blue tarp, but the sun protection it provides far outweighs the discomfort of the heat as we toiled with the decking installation. It's the end of May '07 and the last deck board has just been installed. It was alot of work, but no regrets. Even now the view is wonderful. We are anxious for thelast 2-1/2 feet of water depth to accummulate and fill in.

The roof is snap-lock metal panels, so nearly all the fastening screws are covered and invisible; a nice clean look. The eaves and rake perimeter are all pressure treated 2 x 6. They will be allowed to weather naturally. We opted to protect the wood trusses at each gable end by covering it with 1/2

Strangely, it provokes both calm and some anxiety. We wipe our brow knowing that the dock/deck is completed and ready for R & R, but the bare building site just beyond beckons our attention. We have pulled a building permit for a substantial shed as part of that development, but it's sure startin' to look like an '08 project. * 640 x 281 * (28KB)

3-15-08 008small * During the winter of 2008, we received significant precipitation bringing the pond up to full. We also invested in a nice replacement digital camera with 12x optical zoom. We brought the two together in March '08 to take this shot from the dam, some 700 feet away.
