We finally closed! We loaded up the car and "camped" there over the weekend. We have achieved a base camp in the cabin, (the owner had moved none of his stuff out--I had to clean that out all out first). After getting the ground hog out of the well house, we only had one minor plumbing repair when we got the well going. The PO used fishing lures as tacks and had them everywhere--in the cabin the lodge and the outbuildings; I snagged a finger and DH almost caught one in the eye in the workshop.
We then began cleaning the grounds, opened the lodge and motel to air, and cleaned out two refrigerators full of rotting food. We worked like crazy--we just couldn't stop. DH dismantled much privacy fencing and two ice shanties left on the beach. We filled many contractor bags full of junk-- it begins to look much better. (I may keep some of the 175 thorn-less raspberry plants the PO planted--yum.
The head of the area chamber is coming out this weekend, and the electric company mentioned doing an article on the place for a future newsletter they put out which is distributed to all their customers! We are scared, excited, achy but glad we are going to do this... off to join PAII..wish us luck! Again--THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND SUPPORT..
