Camp, continued

Foundation with retaining wall completed and sealed by Sam. The crawl space will be insulated. The original building has been moved back on top, but is not set in place yet. This back wall will be removed.
From the front, knee wall in progress. The front of the building will look completely different. The gable ends of the roof will be reoriented. A bank of windows in the front will allow lake viewing. The front door will be at the side of the building opening onto a skinny little deck.
From lakeside, a moment in time and space. The little camp is levitating.

The carpenters started working at camp on Monday August 18th. A huge milestone. Feels a little alarming really as I try to visualize the completed structure. It seems huge and ungainly compared to the compact one room building that’s been there.

We ended up saving the original structure, although this seems crazy and will cost extra. Now that it’s been decided, I feel happy that it will be there. Although the roof will be coming off, the front and back walls will be completely different and nothing about it will be recognizable. We will know it’s there as a small legacy from Ray.
