CAMP UPDATE #4
This week the guys finished the knee wall, installed the foam insulation around the concrete walls and put up one of the two load bearing walls. He weather has been bad and Neil is still waiting for the floor joists to arrive. I just received word from Neil that the Joists have been delivered and the backfilling of the foundation will be done on Monday, June 29. The bricklayer who will be building the chimney will also be there Monday.
It is egg laying time for the turtles and several make their way up on the lot each evening to find an appropriate spot. There is lots of exposed sand with all the construction that going on and the turtles are having a heyday digging holes.
Most are snapping turtles but we have seen two of the painted species. Niko and Zack are having lots of fun challenging these ‘intruders’. Peter the Rabbit has also taken a liking to the clover makes a daily appearance for his meals.
