Himlen

Himlen: Heaven in Swedish.
In December of 2010, we bought some lake property in Powderhorn Bay on Lake Coeur d' Alene. It's a beautiful, quiet place with lots of potential. We will be spending most of our summers there in the future, developing the land and enjoying the lake with the kids. The property came with 2 trailers on it, which has proved to be quite convenient. We did have to spend a good portion of time making some repairs this summer. Here are a few pictures of the trench we dug trying to find the septic tank. It was probably 3-4 feet deep and about 6 feet long and after all that digging it turned out the lid to the septic was just hidden by some overgrown bramble bushes. Ugh! Mike also had to replace a portion of the floor inside the trailer that was rotted out and we built a small rock wall on the shore to keep the land from eroding away further from the waves.

  1. Wait, wait, wait...so you were in Idaho this summer and you didn't come visit us in Texas? Where are your priorities! You were practically next door! ;)

    Anyways, that lake is gorgeous--I'm sure you guys will love having a summer home there! And I'm glad you found the lid... ;)
