Thursday on the Lake

Today was Lake-day, down on Menteth Point (Canandaigua Lake). The rain held off and the wind was gone. View from the lakeside was spectacular, with leaves right about at peak. We had two small but demanding jobs to do on a lovely old Victorian "cottage" (about 4,000 square feet!). Mike handled the new Bilco door (one of his specialties), while I tore into the little covered porch. Luckily, Mike had already done the tear-out. I spent some minutes looking the job over, not liking what I saw, then began what turned out to be an all-day task. We both worked from before nine am until after six pm, and took only the quickest of breaks. Lunch would have cost us an hour, half of that spent driving. Still, the job isn't quite finished, despite our efforts. Mike will return Saturday morning to wrap things up.
