Construction

Construction on the new cabin is underway!  We are adding a duplex, Cabins 6 & 7.  Just as the family at Young's Bay expanded this year, so do the guest beds.  Dirt work first.  Rick's Uncle Steve owns an excavation business and comes up from Warroad to help with the beginnings of the cabin.

Rick and Uncle Steve putting in the draining something or other.  (Tyson helping, of course.)  As you know, I don't know the technical terms for construction and I don't plan to learn in the near future.  Should all the men of the Angle be swept up in a tornado and taken away, I will not be the next in line to build things.  Sorry to disappoint.  I'm not even third or fifth in line to build something.

Tyson was particularly fired up about them covering up the pipe with rock.  Nice and loud and dirty.

For anyone familiar with our resort, this new cabin is going in right by the old duplex, next to the Marina parking lot.  Lakefront naturally.

The following week, the actual building started going up.  Big Rick and Brian used to build cabins for other people every winter, making them well versed in this area.

Look at that beautiful blue sky!  It has rained everyday since I took these pictures and the productivity is at a standstill.  We have reservations for this cabin next summer, so there is a deadline looming.

I will keep you posted on the progress of our new cabin.  And maybe, just maybe, I'll learn some construction lingo and throw it at you.
