Builder J came out here this year with only one thing in mind and that was to put up the shell of our cabin and he did it! Lets start with our day spent winterizing our old girl, she and Skipper J work well together so it took no time at all to do that but helping close the club for winter was quite unique! When they say they close for win... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=638298&go=destiny Fri, 6 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=634174&go=destiny Builder J is my hero! Our little cabin is looking absolutely gorgeous and I can tell you he definitely deserves his glass of red wine at the end of the day. Now, the helper (that's me) needs to eat some more Jungle Oats 'cause my arms get rather shaky when I have to hold things like bay windows and sliding doors in place while the builder runs round to secure it all. Nothing comes close to having... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=634174&go=destiny Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=631269&go=destiny So off we flew to Houston on Wednesday 21st with the remnants of Hurricane Rick threatening to reach there as we arrived..luckily we won that race but boy, did it bucket down the next day. Looking down from the plane when we took off from Columbus, Ohio at the splendour of the fall colours below was awesome, you'll just have to take my word for it as not even the best camera could tell the story!... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=631269&go=destiny Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=628958&go=destiny Well not only can you bring your boat up the river and anchor off 850 Eddy Lane BUT you can walk up to the cabin and knock on our beautiful front door! Very exciting! We had such lousy wet, cold weather last week and Builder J was getting rather anxious about the floor getting wet yet again so getting the roof up was a priority. It was a red letter day last Wednesday as the roofing and the logs f... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=628958&go=destiny Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=626408&go=destiny This last week has been giving us a hint of the chilly temperatures to come..the weathermen in this part of the world really battle to get it right. We've now worked out if they say that we are in for a cold spell, throw the jerseys away and the prediction for sun usually means long johns and jackets. On Friday the emergency beep..beep on the TV warned us that we were on a tornado warning and all ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=626408&go=destiny Mon, 5 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=623386&go=destiny Well, there we were early last Tuesday morning all dressed up in our city slicker clothes, suitcases packed, when the message came thru' from Jules that they would be arriving late on Thursday night and not Wednesday. There was no point in arriving in Ft Lauderdale ahead of her so on went the work clothes and back to the grindstone for us hill billies! The trip down to Florida was long and nerve-... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=623386&go=destiny Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=620263&go=destiny Builder J is really steaming ahead and the log cabin is really starting to take shape. He attaches all sorts of appendages to the structures to put them in place and then I've just to follow his instructions. When we put the very heavy supports in for the deck the instruction was "when I say run, just get out of here" Boy, that filled me with confidence! Anyway, it all has gone off without any hit... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=620263&go=destiny Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=618824&go=destiny The cabin is really starting to take shape and we are getting real fit carrying all this heavy lumber! Gee, I miss Paul!!! It was very exciting choosing our windows and front door, smartest cabin front door ever. We have this huge truck that comes out and delivers and it has a crane that just deposits all this lumber on the grass and drives off, no sweat. Man, that stuff is heavy and builder J has... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=618824&go=destiny Mon, 7 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=616447&go=destiny Life has been rather hectic for the last 10 days or so but we're taking a breather today so we can fill you in on the happenings at 850 Eddy Lane. Oh, but before I start on that, we went on the most wonderful sunset cruise on a 47ft houseboat last Saturday evening but unfortunately didn't have our camera with us so you'll just have to take our word for it.. We didn't realize that a boat that size... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=616447&go=destiny Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=613853&go=destiny Well, it's all happening here, the timber has arrived, the tools unpacked and builder John has hit the ground running. He is just having such fun and the 35degC heat doesn't seem to be slowing him down at all. We will be posting photos up on a regular basis so that you can keep up with the progress or the lack there of if we decide to go awol for a few days from time to time. The news from Julia ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=613853&go=destiny Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT
