Boat & Gangway

The fuel injection on the boat is functional and it is running great.  It takes longer to start when cold then it should, so I need to tweak a few settings still, but we got to use it this weekend.

The boards have been put on the gangway and it works great! There are only 2 screws in each board, so we need to add the rest to keep the boards tight to the deck.

Gangway

We had a break in the weather yesterday, so Brian Whitman and I went up to the lake and got the new gangway in the water.  It went really smoothly, except for the fact that I welded the hinges on the shore side in the wrong spots.  Fortunately I had a grinder with a cutting wheel, so it was a pretty easy fix.  Next up is to get the decking from the old gangway cleaned up and installed on this one. 

Fireplace

The tape coat on the drywall around the fireplace is now done.  I still like the way I framed the fireplace better than what the contractor did, but once we get the stone up on the face, I think it will look really nice.  We have not picked the stone but we are leaning toward a stacked stone in either white or grey.  We have also talked about maybe doing barn wood, but that may clash with the floor, so we are not sure on that one.

Loft

The new mattresses for the loft came over the weekend, but we were already at the lake.  So I decided to make a run up today to un-box them and get them set in place.  Next time we stay up here, the girls will likely sleep in the loft for the first time!  I still need to build them a ladder to get up and down, but we can use a step ladder for now.
