The Lake Report

October 28 - November 3, 2002

 

We had breakfast at Sam Jake's Inn in Merrickville on Monday A.M.
 

Did you catch us on Canada A.M.?
Jeff was in Merrickville on his ultimate road trip
 

Caza came and removed excess rocks and earth and graded front lawn
 

He dumped the stuff to the right of Carlie's apple tree towards Chemin Trepanier
- the beginnings of my tennis court!
 

The septic tank was put into place on Thursday
 

Then the peat pit filtration systems were placed on a foundation of crushed rock
 
The septic tank drain leads into the 4 peat pits
(one per bedroom is what they calculate)
 
Something told the wild geese it was time to go
The temperature dipped to 7 degrees below zero C. Wednesday night
 
Our propane furnace arrived Thursday
They measured for the duct work and will be back next week to install it
 

It's November 1st and we have snow!
 

Ken gets started on the studding Friday
 

Pit for septic dain pipe -
Don't worry Lynn, I transplanted the Asian & Oriental lilies, the varigated iris and other stuff
 

Laying down the septic drain pipe and covering it with crushed rock, styrofoam and earth
 

Connecting the drain pipe back to peat filtration tanks
 

Had to come back Saturday to finish the trench for the water pipes
More huge rocks!
Plumber and Electrician due Monday to hook up water, toilets and our new tankless hot water heater...
now, if we only had our windows and patio doors installed!
