With the excavation and move completed, it’s time to get the finishing work underway to turn this shed into a HQ! A deck will be added to the front, the inside will be finished in pine, a bar will be built. Once the fridge and dartboard arrive it’ll be time to party!
Our previous excavation was the initial part of this plan to move the shed. The shed is large, 18 feet long by 8 wide. My primary tools were a farm jack, a come along, aircraft cable and cedar logs. The shed was originally placed close to the house. This was convenient, but felt claustrophobic. With the north side of the property levelled out, I had the perfect spot for the shed. The problem was that the area was too narrow to use equipment to move it.
The plan was simple, cut trees! Before fishing season starts we’re in a rush to get the work done. A bunch of trees had to come down to get ready for some excavation happening soon. There was also a beast of a red pine slowly rotting that had to come down. Even though there’s snow on the ground, the weather was perfect for this annual event.
Digging Dirt at the cottage! this weekend we moved over 600 yards of earth out of a hill to a new location. This operation yielded us over 3000 Square feet of new flat space that can be used. Keeping the excavator and the skid steer going 10 hours a day was more fun than work. It’s important to get these jobs done before fishing season starts!
Bass Open 2023 is officially underway! After a long winter it’s just great to get some lines back in the water. With the addition of two new boats this year, the anticipation was killing us.
We spent the day on the Lievre, launching on Lac Campion and headed south to Lac Poisson Blanc. This water is known for great walleye fishing. Unfortunately for us, we are not known to catch walleye…
For years, we’ve been fishing exclusively on Shane and Ldogg’s home lake, which is only an hour away from home and where the bass are always biting.
If you’re planning a fishing trip with your friends, you might want to think twice before inviting that one guy. We all know that one guy that has been known to be a terrible fisherman, and his lack of skills can turn a relaxing day at the lake into a frustrating experience.
