Boat Lift

The pump box for the new boat lift is all ready to go when the weather gets better.  I put a new motor on the pump, cleaned all the old oil out of the pump and reservoir and scraped all the old oil (which looked more like caramel) out of the bottom of the box.  I put a new solar charge controller on the lid of the box, so I just need some fittings, a battery and some new cables when we put it in the water this spring.

Retaining Wall

While I was at the lake today, I noticed our neighbor's retaining wall on the beach had collapsed.  While inspecting the damage, I found that ours had also taken quite a bit of damage also.  So I guess we get to rebuild these walls this summer sometime.  Why not, we've had to build or re-build every other retaining wall on the property.  I guess now we can expand our lawn and eliminate the seam between the walls.
 

Sink Base Doors

I had to be at the cabin most of the day today for a drywall inspection.  While I was there, I cut the holes and mounted the doors on the front of the sink base.  You can just see where I had to trim about 1/2" off the top of the doors so they clear the bottom of the sink.  I still need to sand and paint that area.  I also plan to make a set of small trim pieces that fits next to the sink on either side to finish it off.
