Past and present project pictures

Sorry, the cottage is no longer available for summer rental.

Austin recently added an extension at the bottom of the ramp.  The ramp is now straight AND
 the floats sit level in the water, which was not an easy task!

Austin's new gas kiln and temporary outdoor studio.  The studio, triple in size,
will soon be  incorporated into the house.

Austin's new kitten (summer / 2008), she (Sweetness) is a force to be reckoned with!

Current tide chart (up-to-date)

Please note: The cottage is no longer available for rental.

FYI -- Cell phone (all providers) and Blackberry service in the area is excellent. 
The cottage is equipped with high-speed (wireless) internet service.
