Southaven - Temp Electric Service

My birthday weekend on the island we put in the temp electric service and met with our excavator and foundation contractors.

Planning to break ground April 29th!

Easter Island

This weekend we all headed up on Good Friday for the Easter Sunday weekend. Also, the kids were all starting Spring Break on Monday and planned to spend a few extra days on the island.

FYI - These photos are in reverse chronological order...

Here is the family on Easter Sunday at Zion Church

Here is Bon back in her element at the Captain's Corner Saturday

I had planned on installing the temporary electric service at the new lot, but the rain was relentless. So, this was postponed again! Hopefully we can get this in ASAP.

This is my temp address sign - 114 Southaven!

Much more to come real soon, we are planning on breaking ground on Monday, April 29th... 

Early Bird Weekend

Friday, April 5th, we made the first trip up for the season with the whole family. We spent most of the night getting the cottage put together and then headed downtown so Bon could see her loyal fans.

Saturday, I finally got the permit for the new cottage!

Looking forward to breaking ground soon. Stay tuned...

New water heater

Me and Sophie went up for the night just to install the new tankless water heater.

Water is back!

See you back on the island with the whole family next weekend for Early Bird 2019...

Opening weekend 2019!

Opening weekend 2019 (Mar 22nd), like every Spring, you never know what to expect. This year was no different. I arrived on the last ferry at 5:30pm on the island. Opened up the cottage, turned on the furnace and the rest of the electric.

Re-hung the sign

When I fired-up the crawlspace well pump, the tankless water heater blew!  

Tankless water heater - blow out

So, after cleaning up all the water spraying out on the floor! I decided to stay the night and consider going home in the morning. That Saturday, I changed my mind. I can live without water for a bit and plus my friend Brad was coming up to party.

Copper blow-out!

I ordered a new water heater from Amazon and deferred the project to the next weeked...

Sweet 16!

Happy 16th birthday to my daughter Anna!

I love you
