As of Monday May 21 or How I spent my Victoria Day!!!!

This is the wee bathroom corner in the backroom. Once I saw the floor with the old and new panelling I decided we needed to paint the walls so ......... A queen sized bed is going to be added to this room on Wednesday and if you don't want to sleep in the same room as your bathroom, this isn't going to be the cottage retreat experience you are looking for.

This is the primer coat on the walls because we are painting raw wood, it just sucks up the paint like a sponge. The backroom is going to be the same colour as the front room - an off whitish colour with Cadbury Chocolate coloured trim. I wondered why I liked this colour until I saw it on the trim and then I knew where I had seen that colour before!!!!

Now we are in the frontroom. Three of the kitchen cupboards are here. Another drawer cupboard is now to the right and then a 24 inch stove which is hiding right now to the left. This is the water heater which is going to be installed in a wee building outside right under the kitchen window. There is also an upper cupboard going to the left of the window.

For the last two mornings, we have arrived at the job site at about 8:30 in the morning. It is just gorgeous as you can see. Can't wait to stay here!!!! Can you?

Hey, look at the new 10x10 deck that got built this week. I actually sat in a chair on it yesterday. Just lovely!!!! You can also see the new screen door. The actual door door is going to be red. The deck is naturally shaded in the afternoon by the near by trees.

Hear is our awesome neighbour helping us install the kitchen cupboards and building a concrete counter top. It was so much fun. I put down lots of jewels and shells and rocks and only hope we will still be able to see them when we install the counter top later this week. It is going to be ground and polished and treated and will hopefully look like marble when finished!!!!

The counter top has been covered with plastic and left to rest for 3 days until it is ready to be unvailed. It is going to be very exciting!!!

It was a big day at the job site today. Our sewage line was connected to the main line going to the town sewage line. When we arrived at the site we were delighted to see Ray's boat floating!!!! It even had a motor attached and no water on board!!!

The first thing they did was to dig this huge hole at the side of the cottage and put this concrete thing in. Inside the concrete was the mascserating pump which will chew up all of the waste from the cottage and spit it out!!! Yum......!!!!!

Then a trench was dug out to the lane where the main line is located going to the town sewage system eventually. The sides were collapsing constantly in the hole. It appeared to be very dangerous. They dug down about 7 feet so that the line we were joining into was above the water line. As quickly as they dug, the hole filled up with water. It was so great to have guys workin for us who knew what they were doing!!!!

Below you can see a neighbour who isn't convinced they know that they are doing!!!! They came out of the woodwork like flies to see what was going on!!!!! Biggest event on our street for quite a while obviously!!!!

Blogger is not being easy to get along with tonight. I can't delete the pics that are doubles so I appologize.

Above you can see Ray's boat afloat with ducks to keep it company. Then you get a peek at the new flooring we had installed yesterday. Finally you get to see what it looks like from the living room out. It really is a great view of the lake!!! I can't wait to stay here over night!!!
