May 11, 2008 - a collection of what's going on pictures as we near moving day.
May 9, 2008 - Dropping in the poles and driving them in - up to now, most of the boat house work has been done elsewhere. Today, we get the actual site on the lake shore ready to receive Jasper II's new home. Currently, the boat house sits on its temporary location, the Summer Stage, where it was constructed. 40-foot poles are now being driven deep into the soil at the lakeshore to receive the boat house, which will be relocated soon.
MAY 4, 2008 - nearing completion - get the poles ready

10, 2008 - This is a photo of Dan Kane, Bob Lyon
and Brian Cassetta constructing the first wall of the boat house. The final size
of the Jasper II's home will be 14 feet by 32 feet. The roof is a victorian style
55 degree pitch, and will have beautifully sculpted shingles, with copper accents.
It will be built ON the new stage, and then placed on walk ways supported by 40
foot poles driven into the lake shore, by a 40 ton crane.

10, 2008 - Bob Lyon & Dan Kane are presently building the trusses for
the 16x32 boat house which will house Jasper II on Eldridge Lake. A core drilling
procedure which was completed last week on the shore of the lake showed that silt
- basically quicksand - was the top 20' or so before a mix There are two willow trees to the west of the stage. The boat house will be going in right between the trees. This may be the last picture taken before the construction begins. |
