Would you rent this home??

Above and beyond ...

OK ... credit has to be given to these two kids for traveling (300 miles each way )... every other weekend for the ENTIRE summer!

I could not have taken on this project without the help of ALL the kids at one time or another. They say "If you build it they will come" .... and they did!! 

From Georgia, California, and New York, it was a summer to remember. 

We laughed, worked, swam, tanned, crabbed, kayaked, ate seafood, body surfed, and as always ... perfected the art of "Beach Contractors".

 It was a summer I will always remember ... because of who I spent it with :)

My love to you all ...

Royal, Nicole, Abbey, Landen, Layne, Ryan, Whitney, Sean and Ashley.

Your the best!!!

Simple changes ....

As fond as I was of that terrific wallpaper ... all good things must come to an end ! 

This bath got a face lift from me and a new tub and shower from my contractor. 

Result ....

a pretty good update,  if I do say so!

Week 19 The last (?) project ...

It really is hard to believe that I have been here 19 weeks!!! When I started I can remember Sean telling me if I were here past July 4th ... I was really slow! Guess I'm slow ... or I kinda like the beach life :) 

Bless his little heart, and Ashley too, they have been down here just about every other weekend all summer long. So when we called this the "last project", I think we both breathed a sigh of relief. Standing back, I must say it looks pretty good. Some of it planned ... some of it just "dumb luck".

Now the hard part, turning it over to a tenant. I know I have a long history here, 32 years, but I did get a little more attached with each project. I should go back and read some of my first posts when I was so creeped out! 

Oh well, now to find someone to love it here as much as I do ...

They moved it!!!

So ... what do you think?? 

I know I have seen the bad .. and the ugly, so I will consider this .... the GOOD!

Things I do to stay entertained!!

Yup .. I have been looking at "big blue" WAY too long!  This is #2 .. that replaced the FULL first one! 

I realized my mistake was telling the contractor he could decide where to put it. Right in front of the house would not have been my first pick!

I must admit it has been very useful. I have deposited quite a few items in there, but all good things come to an end, and tomorrow ... goodbye dumpster! 

wait ... wait ... one more thing :)

Enough said ....
