Lumber Jack and Lumber Jill

First preparation steps of the renovation were to remove 2 large spruce trees and a clump of 6 cedars to accommodate the 14 foot addition and a new septic system. Luckily Hugh, and more importantly, our farm neighbour Cathy are very experienced in tree cutting.

The 2 very tall scraggly spruces were down by the time I showed up after picking raspberries and here's what I found. The first tree, closer to the water fell towards the back of the lot just as expected. The second one, which had a split trunk up nearer the top didn't work out quite as planned. 

No problem for Lumber Jack and Lumber Jill!

Since our renovation project quickly evolved into more of a rebuild project which will take the existing cottage down to the foundation, this wasn't a problem!

We are very happy with this acquisition!

First 2 photos are from early May when we visited the property on the day that our purchase offer was finalized. This was the first time we actually saw the water since the lake was still frozen on our previous visits.
