Last weekend's project

Friend C wanted to be able to go in the lake to cool WAY down during sauna time, but the lake is still frozen. 

So she rallied me and friend G and a bunch of shovels...

...and an augur...

...and we went to work for two hours to make ourselves a bathtub in the lake ice.

As luck would have it, even though we stopped drilling with a foot of ice still below the bottom of our tub, so that people could stand on the bottom of it, we hit a fissure in the ice and the tub began filling itself as we finished the drilling. Tomorrow I'll show you the results!
