We just really wanted to take the time to give a big special thank you to all the friends and family that have helped us out in making this lakehouse so special. We got a chance this past weekend to try out the first boat.  Chelseas cousin, Andrew Schutz donated an inflatable raft to the place. He won it for being such a successful salesperson at Dell.  Thank you Andy!!!  And keep up the good work! The kids had fun swimming and boating over the Memorial Day weekend. We also got the kids playhouse cleaned up and ready to go.  So come on over and check out both of them.  See ya soon.

Well it seems that no matter what the project is, it usually takes me sooooo much longer to finish than I expect.  That being said, the kitchen cabinets are finally done. We got the new towel racks up in the master bathroom.  And started framing out the mirror in there too. Don't remember if I posted the little boat shelf for the other bathroom. I got some LED lights to brighten up the dock. The Tinkers gave us a gas grill as a thank you for hosting them at Easter.  Now we have gas and charcoal grills. The kids and I made a firepit out back and you can see all of us enjoying it below. Well back to work. I still have a huge list of things still to get done.  Remember we are renting out the place for whenever you like.  Just keep in mind that it is still not where we would like it to be yet.  Give us a call, text, or email and maybe just a bit of notice to pick up the kids toys. 

This weekend we were lucky enough to host the Tinker Annual Easter Gathering.  We had so many people at the Chilcottage this weekend.  But it was super fun.  Now we definitely know how many people our house can sleep, and that we need another bathroom too. haha.  We had some great food, made some new friends and had so much fun.  Here are some pictures from the weekend. Tinker Kabobs are the BEST!  Where can I get that recipe? East Tawakoni Easter Egg hunt was fun too!

What a beautiful, and rather cold first day of spring.  Easter will be here before we know it. New bathroom cabinet.  It's a boat. Neat.  This room is almost done.  That would be the first.  Ugg. Some updated shelf pictures with some happy little plants. And some new kitchen and dining decorations.   Chelsea's Arm. Haha, And I am about 60% done with the kitchen cabinets.  I will be so glad when that is finally finished. Well.  Back to work.  See ya'll soon!  

 We got some fun new decorations for the lake house.  Check out what we added and did this weekend. New bathroom shelving in the master bath. New signs that my wife and kiddos gave me for my birthday. New shelves put up in the living room.  They still need to be painted. Rearranged some things in the entry way.  Chelsea said she liked the fishes here.  I think I do too. Some more bead board put up in the kitchen.  Thank you for all your help Jim! More cabinet doors up.  New Sign on the left.  And more backsplash on the walls.  Kitchen is really starting to come together. And finally.  There was a ton of birds just hanging out, right off the dock in the water.  This picture doesn't do it justice, but it was pretty amazing. Anyway. Better get back to work see you guys next week.  Later.
