The Lake House
lighter:
I just booked the first lake airbnb rental for the end of July. 6 older couples going to a craft show.... I think. They seem very nice and have good reviews.
Last night I dreamed someone else was working on finishes at the lake house.... and there was lots and lots of pink furniture in that dream! So funny.

My preferred contractor, for the jobs left at the lake, answered my call and set up 3 days in February.
His 100lb dog has been suffering and they have to put her down..... it's why he's put me off. She's still hanging in there, but requires lots of hands on attention. My brother just put down his little multi poo.... such a sweet thing, and it's never easy. Always a heart break.
I've let the girls know my travel dates and both will be to care for Baby Girl Pug. That's a blessing.

Today just came together.....
the HVAC guy had a cancellation and headed to the Lake House to address the upstairs unit. He'll service both and I'm hoping it's a faulty 10 year old thermostat that's the problem. Turns out it's the fan when it gets below freezing...goes into second stage gas use... otherwise the unit runs fine in first stage. I don't know what that all means exactly, but he wishes we had an 80% unit and not a 90% unit bc they create more moisture..... just know it's under a $1,000.00 to fix and it's a 2011 unit so I'm fixing it.
The contractor ( I work very well with from out of town) will drive to the house every day and home every afternoon after working 8 hour days. Three days in a row.... that's going to get me very close or TO the place where renting is possible. Tomorrow I'll have him replace the appliances, install the trim I have ready then finish painting and staining trim for the next day's install.
I should make a hard list right now but I'm in the zone and don't want to stop moving.
What an amazingly clear sunny cool day it is!
Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful day too.

The weather has been teasing us here too! But our night's are still very cold, so no seed starting just yet.

The weather was spitting at us today, but otherwise breezy, cool and overcast. A wonderful day to do trim with saw set up on covered porch. Yes.
The kitchen crown went up...... it's SO GOOD! Makes the cabinets look like they came out of a London pub 100 years ago. SO GOOD.
The base and quarter round is going down in the Sun and Linving rooms...again... SO GOOD> Brother came up and used the fork lift to get the pallet of extra 40 year old trim down...... AMAZING to have the exact trim we need and it's already stained. SO GOOD!
I have a chicken in the oven... one of my favorite meals... smells divine.
What else..... the contractor's wife is love love lovely.... just adore her. She was raised to be a caretaker and Speaks so softly.... so comforting.... and I really like her.
They have 2 yummy dogs.... a Labridoodle and one of those Great Perinese (spelling?) dogs.... tall and blonde and takes treats so gently!
The chicken was delicious.... such a simple recipe, but great every time. Only had butter this time, so a bit rich, but the house smells like love and care.
We're watching Spirited Away in a bit then hitting the sack.
We finished the trim in the LR, Sunroom and Kitchen... feels so good to put a bow on those things.
