killer day









well a great day today..hot and sunny with lots of fun. The work part today involved finishing the addition roof..it now is waterproof but I have to split more shakes to cover the lumber wrap. Now we can clean out the cabin..put all the tools and lumber in there..so the cabin will be empty. Jana will be happy she..is itching to clean it all out. And varethane the floor. The tides are very high during the night. So all kinds of new logs have been floating around. We have been trying to find a big log to make a bridge to the island. Today was the perfect day to do that. A great big cottonwood log washed right into our bay. The weather was warm enough to swim..so we had lots of fun moving it around. A pod of killer whales swam by..to check out the entertainment while we were working. Ok they swam by the point..but it was exciting to see them anyways. About 6 of them. Jana and Liam had a lot of fun cleaning the water tank out with vinegar too . The inside is now spotless. We couldn't pop all the dents out though....we tried. But it still is going to hold a lot of water. Brought some more lumber over after supper..tried fishing for a few hours..but no luck. Other people are starting to catch them though.......not sure what my problem is......try again tomorrow.

  1. What a beauty of a day thats pretty awesome you guys got to see a pod of killer whales, may be they ate all your fish. The place is really coming together it looks awsome. Looks like the Liam and Sydney are loving it out there every time there's a picture they have the biggest smiles.

  3. ha- I love the picture of Jana's hand sticking out of the black water barrel. And what a day indeed. It's a hot one here too- maybe we'll have to hit the beach like you guys. Great shot with Jon and Sydney!

  4. Jana you look like you had fun in the ocean riding those logs...how do you guys get all the salt water off of your skin, I guess you rinse off in the creek water, too bad there is no surf on our beach this time of year.
    Need any "bigger" clothes for Sydney, I picked up a few from Sally......
    love M.Seinen & Rudy!
