At just about the same time that the foundation was filled, the wall framing began. That was June 15. Since then the roof trusses have been put into place and so we should be ready for the metal roof sometime next week. We are about a week off schedule but are still doing well overall considering the amount of rain delays that we ran into a month ago. A skyhook made moving the trusses into place so much easier. After labouring away for weeks, excavating and getting the foundations done, it has only taken about a week for the place to really take shape with the walls and roof almost complete. The month of June has generally been great and we have been lucky not to have been held up by wet weather. In fact, the biggest challenge has been the good weather...it has been so hot that it has made working on the site tiring. The lake has warmed up about 10F in just the last 5 days and is nearing 75F or 21C. At least one of the building crew has discovered it refreshing effect! While building is going on we are busy sorting out kitchens, doors and bathrooms along with the day to day routine of running the resort. Just this weekend we had terrific wedding and hosted about 100 persons. There was also a rather interesting event involving our bees which we'll tell you about in our next BLOG
