Last Days at the Lake

Winterization is in full swing.  Lots of work to be done- but not too fast!  We need to have things to do until we are officially through!

Here are more pictures of masking the cabins.  We got the job done so fast, we now get two days a week for p-day!  That means we can go home and start our fall clean up at our house.   

Our lake is an irrigation holding pond.  We were able to keep the water until just before Labor Day when they started draining it. 

As the water drains, our dock starts to sink

On Labor Day, we moved all of the paddle boats up to the shore.  When we came back on Thursday from p-day, they were high and dry!

A lot of shutting down the lake involves getting things ready for next year.  Painting, sealing, scrubbing, sorting, cleaning.......

Sisters Taylor, Pulley and Heaton painting one of the shelves in the boat house

Elders Way and Oliekan power washing paddles

Sister Terry spray painting life jacket racks- the pontoon boat in the background was power washed and painted.  All of the life jackets were washed, sorted and hung to dry.

Wear and tear has to be fixed!

Elder Oliekan power washing the rest rooms

The whole crew and extra helpers all pitched in to stain the tower

We had a problem with drainage in the spring, so a new run off ditch was created
