The green, green, .....




Ok, not the green, green grass of home (if you don't know the song it was an Elvis song) but the paint is green. Beautiful day today-70 degrees so perfect for painting. We painted the front, and part of the side. Still need to trim out window. When all done, we will make some shutters and hang them-they will make a huge difference.

We also hung two blinds. Found wooden blinds at big lots for $20 each! Only challenge is we had to cut them to length. So far, 2 cut and we are ok. 2 more to go, once that saw blade goes down you are pretty committed. Measure three times-cut once! I still need to shorten then as you can tell by the picture. Another slightly painful task but one that is doable.

Also made the two very simple pillows on the couch. Plan to head down next Friday and Saturday. Then hope to spend Thanksgiving there.

The deer were all over the place. Guessing the hunters are happy!

Blowing Against the Wind

It was pretty windy Saturday so I will spare you the video from that day. Anyway-I am attaching a little video clip. Please be sure and take your anti nausea medicine before you watch this. I was trying to be sure you would not be bored so I moved a wee bit too fast. Anyway, I have to learn how to edit. So far I can add music, but not delete sound recorded while filming (grrrr) and I can add text.

Anyway-here it goes-less than one minute long so it is not too painful. Your chariot awaits you....click on the picture and it should begin. My two favorite parts are the deck-and the kitchenette- believe it or not to the right side of it is a table and chairs that fold up. It is where the coffee pot holder is. Enjoy!

We have to name the place so far we have Craig's Cabin- that is because I found most all the stuff on Craigslist including the building. Second name is Mt. Park Cottage. Still searching for the right name-oh yes then there is Paid For.
