Well most of the downstairs area of White Tail Lodge has a knotty
pine ceiling tonight. Gene White and Bobby Vry and I put in some long
hours today, but the ceiling is looking fantastic. It’s going to give such
a warm feeling to our guests in the future.

It’s been hot and MUGGY working today, so we’re pretty drained
tonight. Can’t wait to hit the shower and then bed.

I didn’t make it down to the beach today, so I’m not sure if our
friendly beaver has come and run off with another of my wooden
steps. Even though putting the steps in is hard, back-breaking work,
it’s also pretty funny to see the huge marks the beaver leaves
behind as he/she drags away a step.

We’re still looking for people to help us with the finishing work. If
you can come and spend a day it would be fantastic. Just call ahead
of time and let us know you’re coming so we can be sure to have
plenty of food.

That’s it for today - I’ll post some pics tomorrow. We love you guys,
Pat & Judy
