Just in case anyone wondered what happened to me... We got the eight unit motel open last year, (16 beds), set up online booking and cc payment. DH's business was at an all time low, so he and I did all the work ourselves. We had more bookings than I thought we would, & many returns. Booked full for the summer holidays. We also sold our 4 bedroom home upstate and a three bedroom home downstate during prime season ( I had to moove while we were booked full-- twice: weeks of July 4, & Labor Day) I did a two day pack at each place and moved into storage units.
Meanwhile work continued on the lodge. New septic, new wiring, and interior paint in progress until freezing weather made us close. Also, I bought a small home downstate--an estate sale fixer-upper with much charm. I said I would never this do again! Spent the winter painting. Add in a health scare due to otc drug interaction, but I am well now. That's about it; trying to gear up to start all over.
Overall, we loved the guests. Hope to get a room or two open in the lodge (the b&b) this summer. DH is crazy busy this year. Definitely plan on getting help this year. Whew. I REALLY appreciate the advice I got from you all, I DON'T know what I would have done without you. Thanks again.
