Bathroom Storage

One of the biggest things we struggle with in this house is storage.  It is so small, there is no room to store all our stuff.  Today we made that problem a little better, at least in the bathroom. We picked up a hanging cabinet to put over the toilet.  Now we don't have to keep all our stuff sitting on the already small counter. 

Water Slide!

We picked up a water slide off Facebook Marketplace a few weeks ago for $75!  It needed a little work and we had to finish the dock before we could get it setup.  Today was the day!  The girls are having so much fun with it. The ladder still needs some work and we need to hook up a sprayer to keep it wet, but they are using a bucket for now.

Shed Floor and Workbench

While the deck boards for the approaches were drying, I decided to take some time to stain the floor and workbench in the shed.  I go in there with wet feet all the time, so the floor was starting to show some ware already.  We stained the floor in the boat house, and it is holding up really well.  So, I decided to do the shed too.  
 

New Floating Approaches

I spent most of the weekend cutting, staining and installing the decking on the new floating approaches.  While it works, they are not terribly stable.  I think I'm going to use some angle-iron to permanently connect the 2 sections together.  That will help with the bouncing at least.
 

New Floating Approaches

The 10-foot floating approach we had hooked to the dock last year, broke off this winter and disappeared when the ice thawed.  We wanted to build a second one to push the dock out, so the water is deep enough for the boat lift anyway.  Instead of just building 1, I built 2 new 12-foot sections and pushed it out 14 feet farther.
 

Grass

We finally got the sprinkler system working, which means we can fix the grass at the top of the retaining wall.  I'll let this root up a bit and then I will go back and patch some of the low spots and over-seed the whole thing.  It will probably take a year or 2 to really get the grass looking nice.
 

New TV

A while back, we built the recess in the wall for the TV and mounted the little one temporarily.  Today, we finally got around to running all the cables and hooking up the bigger TV and mounting the soundbar on the wall.  The black mark on the plywood below the soundbar marks where the mantle will sit.
