GOOD MORNING! It's 4:52am, slept in a bit, first cup of COFFEE, and here we go. It's not January yet but, I have been thinking about a few things with the pack station. I try to separate my brain from one business to the other, time wise. Ok so, we have a Brand NEW, Great Big Beautiful deck for you to enjoy. It's not done yet. Something needs to be added, and a very special person out there knows what it is. Yes, looking forward to that. I have a sail shade and some other cool stuff in my shopping cart already. We're adding another glamping tent with king size bed to the lot. We are excited to host a large group of Super Fun people coming up this summer. I can't wait to hear all their laughter and I'm sure, stories to go with it all. I have 2 extra projects I want to do. I want to work on that big fire ring in the front meadow. It needs help. I built one for Tracy some years ago. It was beautiful. I'd like to do the same up there. And then...The Bunkhouse. Ohhh. So, I pretty much have everything for that. Floor paint, wall paint, I need a new paint sprayer. I kinda go through those. I ran this idea by a retired building inspector. He said it was great. I need an electrician to come finish the outside outlet, like, put one on. I have an extra generator, Thanks Dad. I want to add a kitchenette in the smaller room. I have everything for that, yes, I hear Amazon calling my name for the extra. Ok, The Bunkhouse, when it's done, I want to rent out by the week. So far, there's a set of bunkbeds and two queen beds in the larger room. I have an extra refrigerator, table and chairs small couch and chair/footstool, new area rugs, and some other stuff to put in there. A globe on the light got chipped so that needs to be replaced. We have an extra heater for it. We use starlink so streaming isn't a problem. Ok so there's more than 2 projects. My dining room table is an issue. So...I need to move furniture out...somewhere. No, I don't need help with this part. Maybe Hannah, she's a great helper. I want to build a bench seat with fat cusions, under the windows (use it for storage too) for more seating, Lori, we need to go junking. I need two same-ish table bases so I can build the table top wider and longer. Two or three seats at 3ach end, and 5 or 6 chairs on the other side. I need it to seat at least 14 to 18 people. I don't know yet. The lodge always seems bigger to me when I'm not there. We'll see when I get there. Hold on, I need more coffee. Ok. Omgosh that Amazon cart just keeps getting heavier, LOL. Other than that, because I have to limit myself, yes there are many projects I want to do, like Paint the lodge this summer, actually that's Tracy's project. Let's see if it happens, it might, me with a new paint sprayer and all. Don't worry Debbie, I won't choose white, even though I love white. Because white shows when you need to wash and repaint so stuff stays clean. It will be somewhere about the same color but I need a corresponding trim color too. We'll have to look at that. Omg I might be broke n dead before the end of the summer. Third cup of COFFEE. Today is another special day in a year. And this is funny. Look at what my husband just gave me. I think he knows there's projects on the horizon. He makes me chuckle. And...it rolls. Good job Tracy!! Have a GREAT DAY, y'all.
