A Visit to Dawson



Mr. Lazes and Tom Murray flew in from Charlotte to review the new beach area plans architect Ole' Sondresen completed this week.  Tom is an experienced real estate marketer specializing in projects like Dawson Lake.

Bob Chamberland and his building construction crew were busy this week installing the West Virginia grown Eastern Hemlock siding on the spec home.  Eastern Hemlock has been used for construction of homes and barns in WV for over 200 hundred years and is resistant to decay and weathers to a pleasingly warm color.

The Shift of Seasons at Dawson


As summer winds down, the construction at Dawson Lake is still moving along.  The weather has been exceptional for Bob Chamberland and his construction crews to stay busy.

 With a few more days of fill work, the Hilltop road will be completed and ready for stone and hydroseeding.

The survey crew from Terradon continues to provide assistance when called upon.

Architect Ole' Sondresen met on site with Mr. Lazes, Bob Chamberland and Paul Grist to site the new spec home to be built on the lakefront.  This home is to be built with leading edge "Green" technology and will serve as a model for the possibilities future homeowners could include in the design of their homes at Dawson Lake.

If the Indian Summer continues this fall, construction of the pool and beach cabana will get underway and the amazing spec home on Memory Lane will be completed.

The cool nights create early morning mist on Dawson Lake and the leaves are just starting to turn and this should be a very colorful year.
