Mud everywhere!

Getting up to the cottage is almost impossible. First ice and now mud!

Wonderful neighbors, Denny Dull and Leann Kline, helping protect the camper.

A big thank-you to everyone who helped today to cover the roof of our camper with a tarp! Rex and Leann Kline showed up at just the right time to assist with this project. Denny had already made numerous trips to the camper to remove limbs and twigs from the camper. His work included sawing off - close to the roof - the large limb that punctured the roof of the camper. He also monitored the water entering the camper through that hole, emptying the trash can he had placed under that area as needed.

And if that wasn't enough, he even let us drop off our water heater at his homestead today to store in his garage. We got other smaller items into the basement of the cottage, but it would have been almost impossible to get that water heater over the mud and into the cottage.

We rescheduled the delivery of the dishwasher for the 4th time! Hopefully it will work out for next Saturday, but who knows if we will be able to get it into the cottage or have to impose on Denny...again! Thank you so much, Denny, for all you have done for us! We will have to come up with a way to show you our appreciation.

We purchased yet another light for the cottage this morning that we took with us and, after doing a walk-thru with Rex and Leann after we got the camper taken care of, we decided on yet one more light. Rex is trying to get the wiring and plumbing roughed in and inspected before he and Leann leave for China so that the insulation can be done and the drywalling begun while he is gone.

We were late getting back to The Fort, and Bonnie had to scramble to get to her Boars Head performance on time.
