Oak Point Progress


The first house at Oak Point Estates is coming along just fine. The owners hope to be able to get along far enough with construction to be able to stay in parts of the house yet this year. Let's hope that the weather cooperates with them. They have a framing contractor helping them from the Bemidji area.

We approached the Leech Lake Township Board last week to discuss with them taking over the road for maintenance purposes. We had a good reception at the meeting and the board promised to come out and inspect our gravel road called Sunrise Beach. We also learned this week that the blacktop road, Oak Point Road, will not be overlayed with new bitumious as had been expected. No money. There are a number of large pot holes that need to be repaired before the winter sets in.

My wood supply is all split and covered for this coming winter of 2009-2010, plus we have enough wood cut and split and covered for the winter of 2010-2011. Having that task done is a great feeling. My task now is get sufficient kindling ready for this coming winter. I have been collecting and splitting wood scraps from the house under constructing at Oak Point.
