β€οΈ THE DECK IS COMPLETE! β€οΈ
Well... it's official. The new deck at Sugar Lake Lodge is complete, and our hearts are full of gratitude.
What started as a major renovation became so much more than just a construction project. It became a reminder of what can happen when family, friends, and community come together.
A huge thank you to my son Lee and Chris, who came all the way from Vancouver Island to take on this massive undertaking. Your dedication, skill, and willingness to put in long days never went unnoticed.
To my grandson Marshall, who drove two hours each way, day after day, to be here and help your commitment, work ethic, and love for this place mean more than words can say.
To Kees, who stepped in when we were a man short and never hesitated to lend a hand, thank you for being part of this incredible team.
To Gunner, thank you for all the driving, organizing, supply runs, and for keeping a watchful eye on the project every step of the way. Every crew needs a supervisor, and your support, and encouragement to the crew was much appreciated.
And to our amazing kitchen crew thank you for keeping everyone fed with delicious meals, yummy desserts, coffee, and encouragement. You helped fuel this project from start to finish!
This deck wasn't built by one person, it was built by a team. A team of family, friends, and people who care deeply about Sugar Lake Lodge. For that, we are incredibly blessed and forever grateful. β€οΈ
The finished deck is beautiful, but the memories, laughter, teamwork, and friendships built along the way are what we'll treasure most. ποΈπ
From the bottom of our hearts thank you.
Now itβs time to enjoy the view. π²π
