From the Deck: View from grinder pump to boathouse. The grinder pump was put in during my mother Kathy's lifetime. She and old man Ed Boykin opposed it. Before the grinder pump we had septic tanks in the bald spot on the hill below the deck. One collapsed after her death and we had to have the area filled-in. Other homes dumped sewage directly into the lake. That's why it was overgrown with seaweed in the shallows by the time I was a child. The grinder pump moved waste up the hill to a sewage pipe on Tonahutu road and disposed of it away from the lake. Ed was an engineer and vowed it wouldn't work and mom was concerned that it would mar her view. But, she'd been telling me how crystal clear the water was when she was a child and I didn't see why they were putting up such a fuss. In the end, the pump worked great and the water cleared as predicted. Hooray! - DSC02953

Felling a Tree: They's craving fiber. We had to remove a lot of dead trees from the cliffside due to pine beetle kill. Two people cut a wedge from the tree while the other couple pulled on ropes to direct the fall. Chris and Brian got really good at it once Boykin showed them how.
