Lake Superior Beach Fire Dinner

A few nights ago it was chilly with temps in the 40s and a stiff breeze, but friends and I decided to have a beach fire dinner anyway. A good time was had by all!

More progress on the Agatelady Rock Shop construction

Progress continues on the remodeling of the building that will house the Agatelady Rock Shop, which is scheduled to open on June 1, 2023 in Grand Marais, MI.

The interior walls are almost installed....

The walls are in!

I primed the wood showing on the exterior. The white panel to the left of the ladder is the location of the original door. Because snow and rain always fell on your head when you entered that door, I had a new door installed on the north side of the building, which faces the new parking lot.

I only bought one gallon of primer to start and ran out just before I was done.

Finished the priming.

Now I have to decide what color top coat and trim I will use. Some options that have been suggested so far are: match colors on my house (which is next to the rock shop building), duplicate the colors on the current Gitche Gumee Museum, or go wild and use a bright, color-attention color.

Yesterday, my contractor put in half the ceiling insulation.

Agatelady Rock Shop progress on building renovation

My contractor has been busy this past month beginning the remodel of the building that will house the Agatelady Rock Shop. I am very impressed with his work ethic and the progress thus far. This past two weeks they have had other smaller jobs to do, but have made time to install insulation in the walls and put up some of the interior walls.

I have been trying to prime the outside wood, but it has either been too cold or raining.
