May 5, 2014 Trepassey Camp Renovation: (5 Photos)

5.   Last fall I took my first hunting trip to the Bassan Hunting Camp in beautiful Trepassey. It was a very successful hunt and an awesome time with a great crew. This past weekend we undertook a major project to make the camp much more comfortable during future salmon fishing & hunting excursions.

4.   With Andrea's father Peter out of the country Andrea, Johnny, Alex, Eddy and I arrived at the camp Saturday morning. We had a pickup truck load of new laminate flooring which will replace the aging dirty carpet presently installed throughout the house.

Our first task was to do a major gut job to rid the house of decades worth of clutter and old tired furniture. This was actually the longest part of the job, we piled up enough "stuff" at the curb for bulk garbage day to fill a couple tandem dump trucks.

3.   With the house empty, and good furniture put aside Alex & Johnny quickly got to work professionally installing the new flooring.

2.   While the boys were installing laminate, Andrea and I took up the toilet and installed new cushion floor in the bathroom. Our next task was repairing the chimney for the wood stove.

1.   At the end of the day the boys got the living, dining, kitchen and one bedroom done. The following weekend they finished the last two bedrooms, the end result of all our hard work was fantastic. It will sure be a lot easier to clean up and keep dry during the upcoming hunting season!

Cheers, MIKE
