River Improvements






















































The improvements continue at the river house.  Matt, Eddie and Matt's friend, Bryan went to the river this last weekend and poured new concrete.  Our feet will thank them this summer. Won't it be nice to not have to wear shoes on the patio? You can also see the ladder that they added to the dock. 

Other than pouring concrete they had some other excitement. Eddie skied in the "ocean" on Saturday and has been paying for it ever since. The guys saw the hull of a forked racing boat get cracked when it hit the dock at Badenoch's (sp?). It didn't crash, that is how bad the water was. (The water Eddie skied in). It started to let on water, so the people who owned it hurried to get it back to their house and on to the trailer. Eddie the Englishman got a great base sunburn. Apparently if you are from England and olive skinned you don't need sunscreen.  And Matt drilled a hole in his finger, which then got concrete in it.  It seems to be okay now, I mean there is still a hole but he dug the concrete out.  

All in all it was a successful trip.  Doesn't it look great? I can't wait to see it.

Eddie was so sore from working on the concrete and skiing that he could barely walk up the stairs! It was funny!
