On August 14th Keith and I decided to head up to the property in the afternoon to rebuild the railing on the deck. As you can see it was totally unsafe and ugly. A couple of screws and bungie cords held the white plastic lattice work on. It was just a matter of time before the kids fell through the railing.
First thing we did is remove that white lattice.
We kept the supports but built new frame work
No shortage of spindles
Spindles on the run.
Deck is extremly better. It is now safe for the kids. Question is what colour to stain the deck?
Susan and the kids along with her sister and mother went up to the property on Friday afternoon. They played in the creek for most of the afternoon. I did not get there until well after dinner.
Cleared the patio of junk, going to put BBQ here to hide from the rain.
New railings going up this week or weekend
Work in progress, the garage. Had a few good fires with the cabinets that came out of here!
Long story. lol
Lawn cut and started opening up the creek bank of weeds
Across the creek I opened up an area so the kids can have an easy place to get in and out of the water
Peeled the ugly wallpaper to find ugly green paint. One of the next projects!
Welcome! I purchased an investment/recreational property. I will blog about the trials and accomplishments I have with this property. It will be a ton of work but I am also going to work hard on having fun here too!
So this is what I purchased:
3 bedroom 1 bath little home/cottage on Eels Creek
Lots of junk laying around
Yard needs work
Ripping this building down. Canopy great for greenhouse. It is for sale.
