Laurel Lake - Getting
Ready To Build
I only spent about 2 months
in this cottage, but grew to really like it. Knocking it down
to build a new place was hard to do, but it just couldn't handle
the kind of usage that I hope we will see there. Sooooo.. plans
to build a new place have been drawn up, and we are ready to get
underway.

To prepare
for building the new home, we had to remove the current cottage.
The choice was to either bulldoze it and haul it away.. or let
the Volunteer Fire Department use it for a "burn school"
so they could do some training.
Aside from the fact that it was much cheaper, it was a no brainer
deciding which way to go <grin> |
Once I saw what happened
when they burned the cottage down,
however, there was no regret for me at all. The pictures below
show why. From lighting to walls flat was approximately 20 minutes.
My thanks to the Silver
Lake Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad.
I'm truly glad they are there to protect us all!
