The Lake House

If you've read my boating page, you've seen that I've always liked being around water. There's something about being around nature...It's calming! I recently purchased a lake house right on Lake Erie and am currently renovating it. Here's some pictures and notes...

 

 

 

 

 

It's nice to sit and relax on the deck and watch nature go by...here's just a directory of photos and video I've taken (in no particular order). You can see everything from a bald eagle to ducks and even some other creatures. It's pretty cool.

 

 

If you're around on July 4th weekend....every year the city has a community-wide garage sale. The town roads are packed full of people, golf-carts and cars of people looking to find a deal. Here's a photo of the busy streets and afterwards, the city holds the annualy Freedom Festival Fireworks show. Also shown is a photo from our deck (you can see all the boats lined up and the reflection of the fireworks off the water too.) It's a really nice day. Downtown Luna Pier is packed with live bands, food trucks and events for the kids.

NOAA Live Weather Observations (for Zack's Boat)

This wind time series was created from the surface forcing data of the latest LEOFS nowcast and forecast runs. The winds were created by spatially and temporally interpolating the wind products from the National Weather Service (NWS) High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) (for nowcast) and National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) (for forecast). These interpolated wind fields were used by LEOFS to generate oceanographic nowcast and forecast guidance.

Photos Before Renovations

As with most lakefront property, the rear of the house is usually facing the street. You're waterview is considered the front of the house. I always thought that was weird as most people approach the front/greeting part of the house via a vehicle, not a boat. So I still consider the front of the house the street-side part of the dwelling. What I call the backyard (or rear of the house) faces the Lake Erie. Deal with it!

Anyway, what's cool about this property, is that I have Lake Erie direct access in what I consider the backyard, and access to the lake and a nice area for small watercraft or hockey/ice skating at the front of the house behind the garage.
