Savary Island Cottage Progress

Having a ball, Andrew yielding a chainsaw to sculpt a large beam.

Five star builder Andrew Van Wersch returned from several weeks up on Savary Island building his two cottages. That's right: two. For most it would be an overwhelming challenge to tackle one cottage on an isolated island, but Andrew is building two. That's Andrew.

Many, many times I have seen Andrew excited about a building project. He loves it! But I am certain I have never seen him as excited as he is about this project. He really loves it!

He couldn't contain his excitement. You should hear him describing the waterfront cottage (I'm not sure when it gets this big and deluxe, 'cottage' is quite the word, but I guess it still is). His heart and soul are in this project, and you can be sure it is going to be one amazing place!

Sadly, but understandably as he described working from first light until dark, he did not take any time to snap the beautiful photographs I had been hoping for to update the website. When he goes up again, he plans to put the cedar shingle siding on the first cottage, and he has promised to take a lot of pictures once those are on. We will just have to wait.

In the meantime, here is a nice shot of the stunning woodwork for the waterfront place.
