So, we are only about 2 months out from being listed on AIRBNB.  We are doing a few last minute pushes to meet our own self-imposed deadline.  Here are some of the latest updates. Without further ado. Added some new lighting. Had an electrician add in a few more convenient outlets, including one in the entry that really brightens things up and adds some stairway lighting at night. A few bathroom accessories. Some cute little signs that let everyone know we are on a septics system.  This is the one in the main bathroom. This is the one in the master bathroom. Some cute hanging light over the dining table.  Great for games. And some combo luggage rack / clothers hampers in all the rooms. Stay tuned next week to see how our new coffee bar turns out. See ya'll soon.

They are starting work on another roadway leading to our lakehouse.  The last one shaved off 10 minutes form our trip.  Let hope this one does the same.  Highway 205 from Lavon to Rockwall is going from 2 lanes to 4 lanes with maybe a turn lane also.  For those of you coming from Dallas on I-30, or elsewhere this will mean nothing to you.  But we are pretty excited about it. Here is the map that shows the construction project.

We used the long weekend to finish framing out the bathroom mirrors. Below you can see the before and after pictures. And if you like this look, I can make some you too. All you have to do is measure your mirror, pick you size and stain or paint color and then checkout.  Click below for the Etsy link. Eaty Page - coming soon This is the master bathroom. This is the guest bathroom. We also had an electrician install several new electrical outlets. Woops. Forgot to take pictues of that. I will post those next week.  Hope to see ya'll soon.

  Of course in all this heat, the upstairs A/C would choose to go out on us.  The unit for the upstairs is pretty old and it will need to be replaced but thankfully not today.  Condenser capacitor was bad.   Not a super huge hit.  But all is well again.  Yea!

 The "Potato Chip" has arrived. We brought back this fun toy from our most recent trip to Cass Lake, Minnesota.  This boat was built by my dad in 1958 in shop class in high school.  He got the drawings and blueprints from an advertisement in the back of a Popular Science magazine.  I have fond memories of zooming around the lake on this sucker when I was a child and cannot wait for my kids to have the same thrill.  If the lake is calm, it's really a rocket.  Here are a couple more photos.  Just need a motor now.  Anyone have a 7-10hp hand controlled boat motor for sale at a reasonable price?  Leave me some comments or drop me a line. Have a good week.  Stay cool.  It's HOT out there.  Hope to see you all soon.
