New grill and bulkhead wrapped

This weekend I brought up a new gas grill so we can have something to cook on with the fam, when they move up here next weekend! 


I wrapped the bulkhead in driftwood style shiplap. It looks better than I thought it would, very happy with the results.

Finally brought up the lil ones

This is my 8th weekend this season coming to the island to work on the house and the first one where some of the family came with me. Neil and Soph came along and finally got the see the progress on the new house. It was nice having them with me all weekend!

Not a ton of progress, just more priming the drywall. I finally finished on Saturday early evening. 

Here is a photo of the makeshift home office. Actually got both kids to connect, login and start school work before 9:00 am. This is nothing short of a miracle.

We got the new queen mattresses and box springs delivered to the island, courtesy of Andy (Chris's boss) and his son. Here is a photo of Sophie, happy in her room with snacks and phone in hand.

More priming

The priming saga continues. I started upstairs... I am now estimating this will take about 15 gallons of primer for the whole job, yikes!


Sunday, I had to help Tim move a counter top up on the point. I passed this photo op on the way back so I had to stop.
