Ships ladder in its new home!


The Carpenter, Snack Manager and I took a road trip yesterday to McGregor Minnesota to take final photos of the Ships Ladder we built in early spring. We installed, but the homeowners were going to do the finishing varnish work on it which we hadn't seen yet. …


We drove about 3 hours to the cabin. Felt like we were way out in the country and well we were! We ended up on dirt roads that got narrower and narrower. It was a nice Sunday adventure. 

We were greeted by a trio of Welsh Corgi dogs that were also visiting at the cabin. And we noticed right away the loud bird noises in the trees directly overhead. Eagles! I'm an avid eagle nest watcher and last week.. my favorite nest's cam went off for the season. Since I usually keep the live stream video going during my work day.. I am very used to the eagle calls. They are quite loud and somewhat obnoxious to listen to. Especially when the youngsters are hungry! Anyway.. it was so fun to see an adult and a "juvie" up close! Though in hindsight we don't think the snack manager was too happy with what was going on over her head!

The Ships Ladder turned out beautiful. Really is the focal point of the cabin and gives great access to the large sleeping loft. The Carpenter and crew really enjoyed "crafting" it too. You can check out how it was built and installed on our Facebook page via two albums.

We wish the family many years of happiness at their sweet little lake cabin!
