I am waiting for the rain to subside so I can get back outside and continue working, so I thought I would take a moment and just update everybody on what is new for summer 2010 at Algonquin Woods.
- First, in the late fall last year we had tonnes of gravel brought in to raise up and smooth out the driveway from Bay Lake Road through to the front of the office and also around the back of our house. So no more huge lake at the entrance when it rains.
- Last July (2009) we launched a Rave Bongo with a Launch Pad. Thank you again to those guests who helped out! This will be a new addition for those who come in the first few weeks of the summer. In addition, for this year we are hoping to add on a Log.
- We have a new dock! The old dock has been replaced with a 4 x 8 ft ramp and 6 x 24 ft floating dock. The old dock has been strategically cut up by "yours truly" and is now set up as 2 smaller docks, one to make it easier for the kids to tie up the peddle and row boat, the other with a chair to provide a quiet spot for early morning coffee or a late afternoon cold one.
- Cottages 6, 7 & 8 now have direct vent propane wall furnaces, so although not that exciting for our summer guests (here is hoping for a nice hot summer), it will definitely make for a warmer, cozier cottage come September.
- The old green garbage bin has been upgraded to a freshly painted, proper Bear Bin. So no more squeaky, heavy sliding door. It has a special latch that Yogi can not open, but is much easier for us.
- The old green propane tank has been replaced by a newer, freshly painted white one.
Well the rain has stopped so I'll head outside. I have a flat tire on the van to change before I can do anything.
