We all have jobs to do at the resort this winter. The carpenters, Travis & Brian need to get the cabin built, Bob plays gopher and Connie needs to decorate. I told Travis & Brian they needed to hurry because I was almost finished with the wall hanging for above the fireplace. When they came […]
A long winter at the resort
March 23, 2014 by
It’s been a long winter at Lake Florida. We haven’t had overly much snow, but we have had way too much wind and really cold temperatures. Schools, churches and activities have been cancelled more than ever (or so it seems) Because we were going to be building a new cabin, we put up our snow […]
Cabin #9 gets it’s last window!
February 24, 2014 by
Travis & Brian were going to put in the last window in cabin #9 this morning, so mid morning I went to see how things were going. I think they have been trying to see how long they can have it in the cabin without breaking it! (or maybe it was the wind that delayed […]

On the Road with cabin #9
February 19, 2014 by
Thursday February 13, 2014 Thursday the weather was horrible and the cabin move was put on hold. We received about 1/2 inch of snow and winds up to 50 mph. Not a good day for pulling a cabin down the road! Friday morning Today is a beautiful day and Marcus’s will move the cabin to […]
Finishing the interior walls in cabin #9

Now that the sheetrock has been taped and painted it is time to put up the knotty pine wood on the walls of cabin #9. Travis and Brian were here bright and early on Friday morning to get started. The guys each worked in their own bedroom. Do you suppose that was so they wouldn’t […]
Old cabin #9 is going on a road trip
February 16, 2014 by
Today is the day old cabin #9 (built in the 1960’s by Bob’s dad) is starting it’s journey to it’s new home and second life. We have been looking at it sitting in the driveway at the resort since October 21st, 2013. The only thing bad about having it there was that it blocked our […]
Taping cabin #9
February 16, 2014 by
Thursday morning Bob Kerzman started taping cabin #9. Bob has done all of our taping in each of our new cabins. It is always fun to get reacquainted with him. This is a slow process that will take many days. Taping, putting the mud on and sanding over and over. When Bob finishes taping he […]

On Tuesday morning Travis, Brian & Justin came to hang more sheet rock in cabin #9. Pat also came from Magnuson Sheet Metal to begin installing the furnace & air conditioning.
