Cabin Update/Burn Ban

May 2009. All the wood is now cut, split and stacked. The size of the pile is a bit disappointing. I estimate it would keep us warm for about 6 days in the middle of winter. We had a fire a few mornings and each evening while we were there. It was not a trip for shorts and t-shirts. The building is fine but the lake is in trouble.
Jaci & I attended the annual meeting and paid the annual dues. This was the first assessment in a couple of years as expenditures were low and treasury was high. Not so any more. Lake level and the water table are both w-a-y down. The lake is down 40" in the last 5 years. The drought is on its 7th year. I stood on the old lake bottom off the end of our dock and my armpits (48" from the soles of my shoes) were barely able to reach the dock. Some possible suggestions include:
1. Shower every third day and then with a friend
2. Don't flush unless your bowels move
3. Do Laundry in town
4. Don't water your lawn
5. Do rain dance and pray

The canoe is next door at Butler's and the kayaks are out of the crawl space. Paddles and PFD's are in the shed. I think I can build a floating extension for about $600. Brad, can you get the flotation blocks?

There is still a burn ban in the north woods. Hope it is lifted by the time you folks begin using the cabin. Some of the white plastic furniture has been scrubbed and painted. Thanks Jaci. Store it inside when you leave to keep it looking good.
