The Master Spa










On a still night  you can still hear a trickle of water coursing it's way through the gorge, not yet June, and it's dry as a bone. The worst paddling season in my memory, only 6 days were spent on the Buffalo enjoying this awesome place. You just have to take it as it comes, or doesn't come in this case, hopefully we will have rain in June because if we don't, we are in for a long draught.  The kind that even dry up the swimming holes!! God forbid!! Well, all  of the tile floors and showers are complete and look great, courtesy of  Tiles Unlimited of Harrison. I have been working on our master closet this week and the oven cabinet, just trying to use up all materials I have on site before starting anything else. My next big project is installing the massive front logs that hold up the front entry gable, Mr. Warren is letting us use his big backhoe to set them, which is a very good thing considering they probably weigh 4-500 lbs. each. I have to build the pedestals they sit on first, and then bring in Scott and Mike to help me for a day or two. I have found the interior doors we are going to use in addition to the salvaged ones I already have, and I'm    happy with them. Today was the day I had originally said we would be in this house, but many things happened to delay us, all of it good in the long run, but in the short run has left us short of cash for a little while. All I have to do is keep working and it will all get done soon. What I am sure of , is that we have a special place here, everything  is coming together so well and perfectly. It is very rewarding to see an idea come to reality, and the reality is really more than the dream had envisioned. Well, I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend, brother Dave and Tonia make their return to the Hollow saturday and it will be good to see them. Brother Scott's place is just about complete and looks great too, so our bed capacity grows more. Now we just need to clean up to keep the snakes at bay. Watch where your stepping !, but get out there. The Hollowhead
