Investment/Recreational Property Week 5 in Apsley Ontario

 
Hi Everyone. It was a mixed bag of weather this weekend. The big project for this weekend was the stairs replacement at the cottage. Because of other commitments we did not arrive at the cottage until Saturday night. 
 
Keith and I had to do a ton of thinking on angles and measurements on these stairs. It is not as easy as it looks. We measured, cut, measure, cut then measure and cut again.
 
 
 
Once the raisers were correct we made cleats for the treads to rest on. We glued, nailed then screwed the cleats. They will never go anywhere.





 
Once up the sanding will begin. We did not get much sanding done. This will be another day.




 
Starting to look comfortable!

 
Upstairs the clean up begins. Susan got the ceiling painted as well. Next project getting these rooms ready for the kids.
 


 
The bathroom walls are so uneven. I put a coating of drywall mud to see if I can fix them before we left to go home.

Investment/Recreational Property Week 4 in Apsley Ontario


Wow. Can not believe it has been four weeks with our new property. The changes have been huge with little money spent. Just work. I believe as we speak the current condition of the property is so much better we are ahead of the game by at least $10,000 in value and saleability. Not bad for four weekends of work.

I love washing the cars up at the cottage. They come out spotless. The kids joined in the washing!

 
 
 
Still had this mess to finish up from last weekend's removal of greenhouse.

Got the old mower running. Lucas wanted a John Deere so I did the best I could. See below!


 
The old owners built in attic stairs. We are going to use upstairs so the process of building stairs began with opening the opening back up.





 
Upstairs had carpet and a few items. This is on the list to do is fix this up.




 
Dad hitched on to the trailer for me with a good dump run!


Further Thoughts: Is it really necessary to raise your arms and have a metal wand scan before attending a lacrosse/hockey game at the PMC?
