A beautiful winter day at Lake Florida

Those of you who have vacationed at Dickerson’s Resort know that the sunrises are not as easily seen as the sunsets. Due to the fact that he resort is located at the bottom of a hill and there is a forest to the east, catching the sunrise usually requires a hike and getting up early! […]

The cabin building continues

It’s a new year and the cabin building continues. The skylight has been put in and now the guys can finish shingling. So glad it’s not me up there! for years and years Jerry Philippi from Spicer has been our plumber. When we called him about cabin #9 he said he wouldn’t be able to […]

Home Sweet Resort Home!

We don’t spend all of our time at the resort working on the cabins. On December 13th we went to Florida. We own a rental condo there and just like  the resort cabins it requires cleaning and upkeep. Our friend Sandy took very good care of Simon and Sasha while we were gone, but they […]

The building continues at cabin #9

Today, Dec. 3rd  was another day of building at cabin #9. The day started o.k., but in the afternoon the snow started. I guess Travis & Brian have had enough of the weather – they’re going home! The decision has been made. This is where the window will be on the second floor of the […]

More cabin walls

Thursday Nov, 28th the guys added more walls to the cabin. They temorarily put up part of the second story wall so we could visualize it overnight. (in the dark!) 🙂 The room on the left is the livingroom and on the right is a bedroom. One of these days the old cabin #9 will […]

Lake Florida sunset at cabin #9

We shot the sunset picture a little late last night, so here’s another one from cabin #9 on Wednesday. The new kitchen faces the Lake Florida which will make it much more fun for the person in charge of washing dishes. 🙂

The first wall of cabin #9

It’s time to build the walls! On Tuesday, Nov. 26th Travis & Brian started building the walls for the cabin. Keith, the owner of Collins Construction was also here to go over the plans and make sure we are all on the same page. I’m sure there will be many changes as the days go […]

The wood for cabin #9 arrives

On November 25th the wood arrived for cabin #9. Now the carpenters can start building the cabin walls. We are thankful for all the different kinds of machines there are. This would be alot of wood to unload by hand! Just imagine all this wood as a brand new cabin #9! The last time we […]

A very busy day at the resort!

Today was a very busy day at the resort.  The guys were here to finish the lawn work. Guy from Tree-N-Turf sent his guys to mulch and suck up the large piles of leaves that Nate and his crew from Eagle Lawn and Labor had blown together yesterday. All of our trees that provide such […]

First snow at Lake Florida

On Wednesday, Nov. 6 we woke up to our first snowfall of the season at Lake Florida. Lake Florida is still liquid, but the docks which are still in the water were covered in 1/2 inch of beautiful white as were the cabin roofs. This is probably a sign that it is time to get […]
