Up North, at Peace is a place for us to remember and celebrate Joel Ray Marsh, the inspiring man, son, brother, friend, who now watches us for each and everyone of us, and greets those we love as they join him in heaven.

Here's to a life well lived...

Grandpa VB's visit to Camp Fence

Grandpa VanBoxtel and Curt.  Joel inherited his wood working patience from Grandpa we believe!

Recently, Grandpa VB had a chance to go up north to visit the Camp and to see the progress of the place.  I cannot remember the last time he was able to get up north to see it!  Many of the elements of the design of Joel's camp were also featured in the VanBoxtel family pond.  I'm sure there were a few things that he expected and recognized, including the ceilings, the loft and other wood working touches.

Westerhoff varnishing the ceilings - the height helps!


The same day, Matt and Chris were also up north to help install the trim for the siding.  With the trim on, the siding will be able to go up much faster.  The cabin is really going to transform after the siding is up.  Definitely qualifies as a cabin facelift!

Thank goodness for Matt's experience with exterior design - he has excellent ideas!


These will be some of the last pictures where the outside of the house appears to be in full construction mode.  After Joel's friends get done with it, I have a feeling they are going to transform the cabin into a beautiful home...
