2011 - What we have accomplished this year

It's now December and almost time for us to close the lake house for the season depending on how quickly it gets too cold to work or visit.  It's also time to look back over the year and acknowledge how much we have all accomplished.  

This is the end of the second season of our work on the property.   We have now owned it for almost a year and a half.  The changes between how we bought it and now are massive.

Thanks everyone, family and friends, for all your hard work and support.
