ALL IN A DAY'S WORK

Last summer Joe and his friend rented a truck

and off they went to Port Dalhousie to pick

up windows and sliding glass doors which
had been taken out of our niece's home

The cargo went from the truck to a barge

which came down the river to our cottage

Luckily our son was here with his friends so Joe

had lots of man power and muscle to get the 'load'

on to the island

Before the summer was over Joe was able

to install three windows

A few days ago came the biggest challenge of all

taking out the old windows which were across the

front of the cottage

and

putting in the sliding glass doors

BIG, BIG JOB

The boys are about to begin

Ray has a crowbar in hand

Another friend has arrived

The window is completely out!!!!

Oh My Gosh

The frame is in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Four fellows pushed and pulled the unit

from the side of the cottage to the front

After many discussions and manouvers

it was in

\

The upper glass is being replaced

by wooden slats

One hammered

one measured and sawed

The 'boys' worked as a team

and did a great job!!!!!

Unfortunatley 2 of the windows

'fogged' or 'frosted' over the winter

and have water vapour between the glass

We have been told how to remedy the situation

Now the doors and screens have to be installed

Notice the antlers?

When we bought the cottage 30 years ago

the antlers were part of the parcel

They hung above the front windows

I see Joe has found a new place for them

Oh brother!!!!!!

Many, many

THANKS

to our friends

Couldn't have done it without you

We owe you big time

This morning

This afternoon

I can sit in my Mom's chair

and

have the perfect view of the river

THANKS AGAIN
