Since Aaron's relatives had not seen the cabin yet, we decided to invite them all up for the day. The weather was great so we spent the day swimming in the lake, munching on appetizers, and sipping cocktails. Aaron had just finished building his dad a new aluminum boat, so we got Aaron's grandma (Gord's mom) to christen the boat Mary Glen - Gord's mom's name (pictures of the Mary Glen). Later on, we had a great barbeque and some more drinks and then took everyone back to the launch.

Hardwood Floor Is In!

It started off with "I'm only going to patch this crack in the plywood", and ended up with the entire floor being finished with hardwood. Aaron fixed the crack on Friday night. After that was done I managed to convince him to put all the hardwood in on Saturday and Sunday. How did I do that? Well, Saturday was my birthday and that could be my birthday present! So Aaron called up his dad and got him to rent a flooring nailer to bring up with him Saturday morning, and away they went!

About half way through the job, it looked like there might not be quite enough wood to finish the job. That is because it seemed like every pice of wood had a crack or a hole that needed to be cut out, so there was a lot of waste. They finished late Sunday with not one piece of wood to spare - just enough!
