Not sure where this fits, but as it is part rant I put it here....We are a construction zone. Sign on the gate says "Closed for remodeling", but if the gate is open in they come. By foot, by car, by bike, by golf cart, they all want a tour-- or "can I just go through if you are busy?" (As I stand there in dirty wet shirt and jeans.)
Some have waded in by boat or jet-ski; but it really took the cake when three women one in a wheelchair and a boy appeared at the cabin to ask for a tour during dinner. I explained this was not a good time, and with the men working it was not safe to go through. They said they understood, but as they left they walked toward the lodge. I gave them a few, thinking they had parked there, but when no car came, I walked over. Seems they waded in from their pontoon boat, and carried the gal in the wheelchair! Then they talked the painters into breaking off and going for a cruise!!! Now they are stealing the help!!!
We have been thinking do we have an open house of sorts? Get if over in a hurry? I suspect they will keep coming. I have been getting names and addresses/ e-mails and telling them we will get a website up so they can follow. Most are interested, and many have stayed here in the past. Suggestions on dealing with this invasion??? I am cringing--now there is a seaplane circling.....
