The outside of the main building is finished: all windows are in and all shingles are on ... May
The Cottage on The Island -- a work forever in progress
May - October 2009
built by Steve Winter with kind help from:
Paula, Paula, Dave, Bob, Ben, Jason
Many thanks to all.
More help needed next summer if
you are free -- or at least cheap ;-)
next year I need sanders and painters ... and maybe backrub specialists

The outside of the main building is finished: all
windows are in and all shingles are on ... May
Railings are completed ... will save many deaths from
plummeting over edge ... June
Rear railings are done ... June
360 degree rotating Canadian Rocker ... best way to
appreciate the view ... July
(The rocker has to be on a dais is allow a view un-degraded by the railing)
The beginning of the storeroom under the bedroom
"L" ... October
The idea is to move all the tools and supplies and staging into the storeroom so
that the
inside of the cottage and shed can be completed. The additional 5 bags of
concrete
I had to bring out for the footings here brings the total to ~66 bags x 80
pounds = 5280# = 2.6 tons
North side of storeroom done ... October
Paula asleep while a storm brews
Paula made a fine meal ... the front deck is the best
place to enjoy them
Unknown visitors built a monument toward the south end ...
nice stone work
One of the most expensive yachts in the world passes by
Wood Island
Paula and Sam try to stay warm on a crisp September day
Sam up close ... one eye is sufficient when you are
snoozing in a safe place
