Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder arrived at the lodge today and he has taken Muck the digger dumper, Benny the robo digger, and Scoop the digger with him. Everybody is excited!
The heavy machinery rolled in this morning. Since the water level of the lake is so low, SPL decided to change the slope of the beach in the swimming bay. Because of the steep angle of the beach, the swimming bay normally gets deep pretty fast. A big excavator, a bulldozer and dump truck, all handled by the same guy, started digging, shoveling and pushing this morning.
It is probably going to be a 3-day job. Having all those big machines in the swimming bay is a bit inconvenient but it is possible to work around the bay. Several school groups are on an out trip this week, so avoiding bay is not a big deal.
