Richland Chambers Lake Level, the day after Thanksgiving 2013

Our boathouse is not the prettiest sight right now, however the water under it is a sight for sore eyes.  Today Richland Chambers is Lake at 307.79 which is 7.21 feet low, up from 304.74 on October 12, 2013, 10.26 feet low.  Three feet gained in a little over 6 weeks.  The low mark this year was the 2nd lowest the lake has been in its 24 year history.  The recent rains have now saturated the ground, filled ditches, tanks and streams and closed up all the cracks.  We have rain again in the forecast for next Thursday and Friday and we are hoping for significant amounts.  Historic graphs show the lake fills between now and the month of  March - first of April or so.  Check out the lake level at http://www.buyrclake.com/richland-chambers-lake-level.aspx.  When the lake fills we will have 8.5 ft of water under the boathouse and it will look much better.

Ok it has been a month since my last post and a lot of things have happened at our house in The Shores and on Richland Chambers lake in general.
 The outside is looking good.  The stone guys are just about through and the garage doors are in.  We have been working on drainage and sprinklers in the flower beds.  On the inside the sheet rock is up, tape, bed and texture has been taking place and the walls are primed.  We have also begun putting up doors and trim and building the fireplace.  Our cabinets are going to be ordered Monday as we have gone through 3 different drawing revisions.  Our wood floors have been delivered and we have been getting light fixtures, door knobs and things like that.  The move in date is getting closer and we are beginning to get a little excited.
