The footings are in and now the styrofoam foundation walls are almost ready for the cement to be inserted in between them. The builder will waterproof the styrofoam walls of the foundation before adding the cement in the next few days. Today (August 9) Herman and I went out there at noon and they were adding metal braces to the foundation walls, to prevent any bowing or buckling when the cement is added. The first photo shows the area where the front door will be. Where the foundation zig zags is the front door area.
The second photo is the lakeside wall of the master bedroom. There will be a small patio door (where the discolored piece of styrofoam is) from the master bedroom out on to the covered porch. The design of this house includes covered porches all across both the front and back sides of the house. We opted not to have a screened in porch, but instead extended the kitchen/dining room area and added a picture window at the end of that room. I'll try and add pictures of that later as more progress is made.
Here also is a photo of our beach. We are fortunate to have a level sandy beach, which is somewhat unusual up here where there are alot of rocks and actual cliffs on some lakefront properties on the same lake (Shagawa), as is also the case with most other lakes. Our end of the lake is actually a fairly large bay, very quiet. We see lots of eagles, ducks, deer,and have a loon family in our bay with two chicks - very fun to watch.
More Later! Thanks for checking our blog!
Herman & Mary Lou
