Labor Day

The fall gathering of the Clans was great this past Labor Day weekend. Not only was there some great family time around the fire pit in the evening and late night but some great meals. I have never had two full dinners in one day, just two hours apart. As the name of the holiday implies there was also a lot of Labor accomplished by everyone.

All of the goals that I had hoped to see achieved was accomplished ahead of schedule and we are in great shape. Cabins are all dried in, windows, doors, and mostly painted except from trim work. First cabin is 90% completed and second cabin 80% completed. Possibly the best depository that I have ever seen dug was completed to a depth of 7 feet in a high quality of sand and small gravel. Two hundred feet of water line dug in and laid, could have running water in the time it takes to have it delivered to the tank. Both cabins on shore power and engineered for underground lines. Excess building material located to one spot and covered for winter, waiting for spring to be uncovered and start all over again on the 2nd phase.

Overall, it was a great weekend and from both of us, to all of you; Thank you for your efforts and the amount of time and labor you have contributed. We are now two steps closer to achieving the dream that was conceived several years ago. Job well done to all Clans, family and good friends.
