Chalet style home built by Jasen Grotte


We came up to a great surprise this weekend our deck was all built. What a great thing to see. Now the out side of the cabin is done with exception of caulking and painting. I plan on painting next spring. The stone is also done. I finished that work 3 weeks ago. I have started on interior finishes last weekend. I am gearing up to have the carpet installed. I finished the kids bedroom and almost finished the spare bedroom. I cut out the kitchen sink and set the laundry tub in the basement. Hopefully the carpet will be installed within the next couple of weeks. I am also going to side the boat house down by the lake and build a ramp on it for driving the mower in and out. We are getting very close to finishing this job. What a relief. At home I am hoping to finish the caulking and painting this week. I also need to finish the cedar shakes and seal them. So at the house the next step will be to add insulation to the attic and to put on the new roof. The roof might not happen until spring. Pictures to come tonight.

Vincent Baptised




Last Sunday we had Vincent baptised as St. Andrews catholic church in Elk River. He did great and didn't even cry when the Priest submersed him in the holy water. We had a party to follow and it was a great turn out. Picture to come soon

Congrats to the Pladson family ( Stan , Katie, Ford & Iris).
Katie my sister in law finally went into labor last week and gave birth to the first little girl. They named her Iris. She was a little sweetheart. Her big brother Ford is very excited to have a little sister now.

Back to school


Tuesday was Leo & Harry's first day of school. Leo is starting 4th grade and had a great day at school. He has a lot of his friends in his class this year. Harry is starting kindergarten and has Sister Karen for his teacher. He had a great first day and met a new friend but he doesn't know his name. Some of his class mates include some of Leo's friends little brothers & sisters. I think they are going to have a great school year.
