How high is the water at your camp?
At my camp on Lake Temiscaming water is at summer levels now
As of last Sunday it was at least 12"-14" below summer levels.
Boating in 30 km towing a couple of dock beams today.
I'll let you know how much the lake has risen on Monday.
It rained all day Friday and Saturday raising the lake about 6 inches in the process.
We woke up Sunday morning to 1-2 inches of snow.
The lake is now a little shy of summer levels but as the water in the basin runs into the lake
she should be at normal levels for the opener, I'm sure.
Today at my camp on Lake Temiscaming
I wanted to launch my boat but I don't like the idea of tying to a dock that's underwater, so I will wait a few days to see what happens with the level
I really need to be floating before next weekend

Rick, let's see some pictures of your camp.
I was at camp today. We are already at summer levels with water levels till rising. About 3 feet in elevation diff on both sides of the bridge at red pine. Lots more water pouring in, lake levels look to get much higher.
@RickOnt, I see what you mean, your dock has its deck awash.
Good luck on your lake level going down some real soon.
When you can, post some picts of your camp.
Some of us dream of having a camp, and enjoy seeing one.
Here's our little nest.

Wow!!
Nice Michele, you guy have awesome places mine is still under construction. The siding is going on soon and hope to have the interior done by july. (http://i67.tinypic.com/1zpqikg.jpg)
Puck, don't sell yourself short; your place is going to be fantastic.
I saw it last year (I once worked in construction), it is looking good.
puckster, judging by the photo I'd say you're enjoying the whole process just fine. I've been slowly building a cottage in Ontario, doing all the work myself just the way I (my wife) want it. I've learned not to rush it...takes time on some decisions. If you don't mind the 'character look', consider a rough sawn knotty pine floor? Buddy of mine on the lake did a ground & polished concrete countertop in the kitchen...turned out awesome. The guy who did it a bit of an artisan, used some colored aggregate. There are 2 things about a cottage/camp that are most important; nice view and a good wood stove. Keep on enjoying the process.
Your camp is coming along very well Puckster! We bought ours in 2004 and are still renovating it...lol. Slowly coming along though, it's a little harder when you have to haul everything in and of course, time is also an issue. At least we get to fish on our leisure time though right? :)
I just bought about 2000sq. ft of t and g pine for the interior. The pi e flooring this pla e had was i redi le. A place in Powasan valled Northern Stable Supply. They have the most amazing produ ts all milled and stained i house. A bit expensive but you get what you pay for. The last thi g going in will be their pi e floors. The placde is well worth a look.
