The Fascade

When it occurred to me to take pictures of the home improvements in progress below - it was too late for "Before" pics. So who among you can remember what the unfinished beams looked like?

A late Fall or Winter project.

At the moment, it is more important to be building a ramp to help with the hauling of the boat out of the water. We are not getting any younger and the boat seems to be getting heavier...Go figure!
