My mother returned to her home at Huronview on the 25th of August and no sooner had mom left than the beach house was being transformed once again into a work site. Jurgen had arrived just in time to see her and say hello. He has known mom since the days he used to cut grass for she and dad in Clinton.
Jurgen and John's first job was to finish the soffet and fascia. Rob was hoping to work on the siding; however Rona made a mistake in our order so we have had to wait another week. No worries about things to do. Rob and I borrowed John's truck and trailer and headed south of Woodstock to Curries to pick up our cedar tongue and groove ceiling. Then we proceeded to begin sanding and oiling almost one half a mile of cedar boards. Rob would spend the first few hours of each day sanding and then he and I would apply the Danish oil. In between sanding and oiling we stuffed the rest of the R28 Roxul insulation into the ceiling. This was most disheartening as the insulation rained down on everything and our once clean beach house is once again very dirty; however the good thing is that after the insulation was done Jurgen and John were able to finish putting up the vapour barrier in preparation for the wood ceiling. Rob and Jurgen have started to put up the ceiling and it looks stunning...all our hard work is paying off and the beach house may be unplugged, but it is definitely becoming more beautiful.
