Pelican Drive: Putting this in perspective.

We are finally doing it.

Twenty five years ago we bought a property at Pelican Pointe on Last Mountain Lake in Saskatchewan. Our kids grew up, their Dad passed away, yet all this time I dreamed of living at the lake. Finally, with a new spouse, two children, four step-children, six grandchildren and another grand child on the way, the dream of my new home is becoming a reality.

The home was custom designed, in 2007, by Robinson Residential in Regina, Sk. The basement is being built by a local contractor and the main floor and loft are being built and brought in by Conquest Manufacturing in Altona, Manitoba.

Putting this in perspective.

Herman talked with Conquest today and they will be sending a crew out tomorrow to finish the house. We are now being told that the house will be done on Saturday. So that helps with the planning of the move and other things that need to get done.

To put this into perspective: The pink palace was standing at the beginning of June. It is now almost four months later and we have a house sitting on a full basement. Not bad. One of the teachers at the school where I work told me her parents have been trying to get a house done at the lake for FIVE years. So I am grateful that we are getting a ready to move into home in four months, regardless of my whining post yesterday. Keeping our fingers and toes crossed that we will have a completed main floor, loft and exterior this weekend.
