June 30 2008, Monday
The boardwalk is coming along well. Monday morning, we were greeted to this view of the deck. We had yet another section of boardwalk and the deck to go yet on our project. We got right to work on framing in the rest of the foundation. Then we added the deck boards and FINALLY this project is completed and ready for DEQ inspection.
Mark is taking a much deserved break sitting on our new deck out at the lake. What a wonderful view! Those lily pads will soon open a path for the boat once we start using the lake more. You can see that some of them are disappearing to the left of the photo where we took out the fishing boat and paddle boat on Father's Day.
This is our view of the lake from the deck when you gaze out to the south. The main part of the lake is around the bend to the left.
This is the bush that ATTACKED me about a week ago. The dreaded poison sumac. You better believe that I will not forget what this bush looks like from now on. I have several patches that broke out on my arms and legs. I tangled with the bush when I was clearing out the path so that we could work on the boardwalk. If you are going to be working in any bushy wetlands, make sure to enlarge this photo by clicking on it so that you too can see what to look out for.
Tuesday we plan to spend the day enjoying the lake. We are going to load up our fishing gear and drop some lines in the lake to see what we might catch.
