More Weekend at the Lake

Today I got a few pictures of everybody fishing.  Caeden and Lael were not happy because they weren’t catching many.  Todd and Chace were reeling them in, one after another.  I also got some pictures of the beautiful sunset.  I had planned on taking several […]

Weekend at the Lake

We’ve really been enjoying going to the lake.  There is still plenty of work to be done, and each time we go we do a bit more.  This is the first time I’ve seen the hardwood floor complete.  That was a huge job and everybody […]

More Lake House Remodel

More Lake House Remodel

The lake house is and will be for a while, a work in progress.  It is wonderful and is going to be so much fun this summer, but there is still a lot of work to be done.  This weekend at the lake, I got a picture of the hall bathroom that Heather and Shaw did a complete makeover on.  The bathtub that was in there felt like it was going to go right through the floor when you stepped into it.  So, they just ripped the whole thing out, expanded the area a bit and tiled a new shower.  It is awesome!  For the kids bedroom we bought bunkbeds.  The room is just big enough to hold 3 sets of bunkbeds, which gives all the kids a bed, plus one extra.  They have been working on putting the beds together, and this particular one was giving Dad fits.  He had to call in support.  I thought it was funny that it was taking 5 people to put one bed together, so I had to snap a picture.  I have been working on powerwashing the crud that has built up on the sidewalk and seawall for the last decade or so.  I don’t think that the people who owned this place before us did any yard work or any work on the dock and seawall.  I love to powerwash, it is so satisfying to spray the gray away, or in this case, the black gunk!  Here is the seawall, and you can see the line where I stopped powerwashing, it will be way underwater in the summer, so you won’t be able to see it then.

Last picture is one of a tree trunk that Chace and Dylan drug in from the lake.   It was just floating along, and they wanted it to compete with the one that Mallory towed in a few weeks ago. 

Frozen Lake Guntersville

Frozen Lake Guntersville

Scottsboro is part of my territory for Safeguard.  I enjoy making inspections there, because that means that I can usually make a stop at Unclaimed Baggage.  Today, I was on the other side of Hwy 72 at a house that is on Lake Guntersville.  I […]

Lake House

My Dad has been talking about finding a lake house for quite some time now.  The hunt intensified in the past few months and we made many trips up to Lake Weiss to look at different houses.  We decided on Lake Weiss because it is […]
