Framing and HVAC

The framing is getting close to finishing.  I think they are waiting for the last of the columns to be delivered.  Hopefully this week.

In the meantime, the HVAC folks installed the duct work and cassettes.  They will finish up when most of the interior is done. 

Granite Basin Hike

On the way back from the house, I stopped by Granite Basin to get in a 4 mile hike by combining Balancing Rock Trail #349 and Surprise Spring Trail #350.  It was very nice forest walk.

Lynx Lake Hike

The hike around Lynx Lake is 2.6 miles with some gentle up and downs.  It closely follows the banks of the lake and is a great way to enjoy it.  We went on a busy weekend and many people were swimming and boating.  It reminded me of Moonlight Beach a bit.
