This is a blog about our life long dream of building a lake house. I grew up on Lake Sunapee and Karen has spent a fair bit of time on the water kayaking, pulling me on water skis, and sipping wine with lake friends. We have friends on the lake and it has always been painfully delightful to enjoy the lake with them. There is for us, something very different about life on a lake. At 60 years of age, we go in search of it again now.

A lot has happened...
Greetings to all! It has been a while since I have posted and I am sorry for that. This past week has been the fastest pace yet of our house project yet. And as these things go, there are always ways to further complicate the work load. We moved out of our good friends home on Wednesday of this week - leaving behind for the moment the family cat. She is pretty confused right now to say the least.
As we started the process of moving out and trying to get our new home at least marginally habitable in terms of water, air, and a functioning bedroom, there were contractors all over the place. Most of the guys understood the urgency and the reasons and were trying hard to make it happen. One contractor did not quite 'get it' and by holding up his work on the flooring,also held up others. But at the end of today we now have gas to all appliances, water throughout the building - in all the right places - outlets in most of the places we need them, flooring is all down and finished, doors all on, washer and dryer all ready to do their gig.
And as an added bonus, we hear the loons every night as we crash into bed...
A giant shout out the Reed Ericksons for their gracious hospitality in sharing their home with us for the past 6 weeks. We are deeply indebted to their kindness.
