Hey, that's pretty neat Coop. :thumb: What the story? Are you building this for yourself, or for someone else?

Page 21 & 22. :)

Page 19 & 20. :thumb:

By the time we left on Sunday the ice on the Lake was getting pretty slushy. :thumb:

Here's a few shots from Sunday. One of my spring rituals is replacing the our flag with a new one. :)

It does look neat. I dig the old school steering wheel. :)

The water rose about one half the height of a 6x6 over the two days we were there. Pretty crazy! :yikes:

We also took a trip through our local hamlet. Here is one of the little marinas which is feeling the effects of the water. This area is a little park area for tourists. Check out the basketball net. Water B-Ball anyone? :D

After checking to make sure everything was in order and unpacking, we headed to town to do a bit of grocery shopping. We also headed down to see the damn area, which is downstream from our lake. The water was almost within a foot or so of the top of the damn. Any higher and it might have...

Here's another few pics that give some perspective, to just how high the water is. This is the same ramp last fall when I winched it up. And now. :eyecrazy:

After surveying the beach area, it was time to check out the area where are big dock usually resides, when we have water and not ice. :brickwall: Sheeba was up for a drink, but I don't think wading or swimming was on the agenda. :p

The ice when we arrived was still pretty solid, with the exception of around the shore. Don't know if I'd be up for a walk on it though. :yell: :D

Here's a shot of the same retaining wall when the water level is normal and the second is what it looks like now. This area is actually a beach, but right now it's hard to tell. :yikes: When we left today, the water had actually risen one more railway tie on the retaining wall. From...

First stop is THE LAKE! :D Man, the water is HIGH! Our place looks like Chris E's place. :eyecrazy: The water is up at least 4 feet. The dock I'm standing on, was pulled up on a beach last fall and was mostly on dry land. Now it's in the same place and floating in 3 feet plus of water...

We're almost there! Time to open up the rod-iron gate. :D Sheeba is supervising. There's still quite a bit of snow around as well. Although the cottage road is in pretty good shape. :thumb:

Alright... Saturday Morning, 8:30 A.M and we're ready to go! The truck is packed, Yolanda seems pretty proud of the packing job. ::eyecrazy: And Sheeba knows, IT'S COTTAGE TIME! :thumb:

Hey Gang, I created a special gallery category for 2008 cottage pictures. Perhaps some of you will join me in sharing pictures from your 2008 cottaging year as well. I plan to link my pics into a personal thread I made in the Destinations forum. Perhaps some of you will join me. :thumb...

Well, the big day is finally here, almost. It's the night before we open up the cottage, after closing up and being away since late last November. When we left, it was already snowing and staying on the ground. Closing up is always a crap shoot as we try to go as long as we can and some years...
