August 2012
Now the cottage looks like it’s condemned! Totally open at this point for the squirrels
and critters to take up residence. Ibby
says it looks like a Who-house after the Grinch went through --- nothing but
hooks & wire!
So now we’re just waiting for confirmation of our demolition
date. We have a party planned with a lot
of friends wanting to watch from the shoreline. It's been hectic times and a heck of a lot of work to get here, but glad we're finally ready to move on to the next step.
I’ve turned my attention to working on picking out the
exterior things so they can be ordered.
Coordinating windows, siding & garage doors from different
manufacturers with different colours has been a real challenge. The guys at the local lumber store have been
terrific, and a lady at a local paint store spent 20 minutes helping me out
even though I wasn’t spending a dime there (at least yet!). We want something neutral so that it ages
well but also something that fits in our neighbourhood of wooden cottages. I think we’re almost there – still waiting
for some samples to arrive – so stay tuned!
Next posting --- the demolition!
