This past week we broke ground on a new lake home project:
 |
| Rolling in with the Backhoe… EZ Excavating doing the dirt-work. |
|
 |
| Jake on the machine, removing debris and starting to dig |
 |
| The hole is dug out and the footings formed. This is the walk-out wall on the lake side of the home. |
 |
| This is the back wall footing, formed and ready for concrete… |
 |
| Chad Nickerson of Nickerson Construction and his guys pushing concrete around filling the footings… |
 |
| The footings are done and the ICF, (insulated concrete forms), blocks stacked and filled up to one block higher than the basement slab height. |
 |
| Now ready to back-fill around the frost footings and inside under what will soon be the basement floor slab. |
|

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to stand on the roof of the Ely Community Center.
I took a few pictures looking out over the city…
 |
| Looking north up 1st Ave over the top of the Wells Fargo bank building, Boathouse Brew Pub in the distance and beyond that…? |
 |
| Looking to the northeast, you can see City Hall just to the right of center at the top. |
 |
| Looking northwest, over the Senior Center and Ace Hardware and beyond… |
