BIG BLOG UPDATE!!!!!! GET EXCITED!!!!

Welcome back everyone!!! So I've been slacking on getting an update up because I was AT THE CABIN! (Or excuse me, the our new house, It's not much of a cabin anymore)

So to begin with I brought my friend Johnny up to the cabin this year. It's fun to show friends this place because pictures never really truly describe how nice it is. So here are some pictures and a video of the progress we have made along with some that show what a fun place it is.

Johnny testing some speakers in the loft
 Me caught working (gasp!)
 Some awesome Yamaha celling speakers for the front porch, and they sound great!
 When you need a break..... Go take the Kayak ride
 My mom riding in on the well drilling truck
Well drilling truck driving in 
Finding where to drill well number two
So some background on drilling a well just in case you didn't catch the first post about it. Last year we drilled for water and all we got coming up was mud and VERY dirty water. So we waited a year, got a bigger driller, went to the front yard and prayed that this time we would get water. Its a pricy endeavor but a needed one knowing we need water for our house. So....... We chose to drill right there! 
 Setting up the drilling truck
"Are we sure about this?"
All ready to start!
Really big drill bit
Only getting mud/sand, not very good because we are already at 75' deep
 Getting really nervous......
 Then........... 



WE FOUND WATER!!!!!!!!!! Notice those smiles!!! BIG DEAL!!! 
The FIREBALL even came out!!! 
LOOK AT THAT!!!!!
Then, we got put to work. So up north when you have to throw stuff away you just toss it in the truck and take it to the dump.

Watering????? 
Still watering????? We like to water....... WITH OUR NEW WELL WATER!!!! 
Have I mentioned I HATE shoveling????
GRRRRRR!! 
Johnny finally was addicted to lighting fireworks! 
 We even had a family picture!! And Hawkeye joined on his own!
 Digging the trench for the WATER line for the house to our NEW WELL!!!

  On the 4th of July we went out on the boat to watch the fireworks that they shoot from the island
 Awwwww!!!!
 Wow!!!!! :)


Well that's it for now! Very soon we will have even more progress! Thank you Johnny for coming up and helping out! Who else wants to help?!
