Pelican Drive: March 2011

Herman relaxing on a Sunday afternoon.

Things have slowed down a bit with the build a Pelican Pointe. We now have the outside walls wired in the basement and our contractor is coming out to start the interior walls on Thursday. We spend most weekends out at the lake and are looking forward to spring and summer. Will have lots to do and still need to get the beast out there and unloaded.

The table top is back from the refinisher and looks stunning. He did a great job and the person that made the two leaves for the dining room table matched them up perfectly. There really are some amazing craftsmen out there.

The buffet. It sits really nicely between two windows.

While we were out last weekend I took some pictures of some of the fixtures. Don't know if people are interested, but here they are.

The guest washroom. There is also a large shower with a seat in this room. The laundry room and guest washroom can be entered from the mud room entrance door.

Kitchen. The big honking microwave is sitting on a piece of cardboard in the shelf until we get a piece of maple cut and stained to put in there. That's what I get for not measuring before purchasing.

The en suite counter. The spa tub and shower with the seat are on the other side. A built in linen closet is to the left of the counter. Very handy.

We had some of the family out on Sunday. Had lots of fun trying to put together a train set the grandkids got for Christmas. Since we are waiting for a sectional to be made for the loft, the grandkids have lots of fun running up there and playing with toys. Mostly they are chasing each other in circles while giggling and screaming though!

The stairs going to the loft and the same design of stairs go into the basement.

We are starting to see some signs of spring. It is still very cold for March, but the snow is starting to melt off the roof and the ice fishing shacks should be off the lake soon. Below is a picture of some people on the lake last weekend.

Hard to believe that trucks are driving on the lake now and in a couple of months the boats will be on the water and soon we will be swimming in what is now a lake with four or five feet of ice on it. Gotta love this province.
