Today is Saturday, September 18, 2010. We had 2 guys come to help us move around some furniture. I bought a leather sofa at an auction. So that will go in our living room. The leather sofa from the lodge went into Spruce. The foos ball table went into the basement as well as the green loveseat from the lodge. Boxes, etc. were also moved into the basement in preparation of the quilt retreat coming on Saturday.
The movers then put the sofa that was in Spruce in Maple's screen porch. The old one on the screen porch of Maple was moved out to the dumpster.
They moved the snowmobile into the garage, helped John with some electrical and carpenter work, and then they were off.
We found out one of the guys is very experienced in carpentry, so we will be using him to fix up Birch this off-season. We will be replacing Birch's rotten exterior logs and bathroom floor. Maybe we will even make a bigger shower in there too, which will make it more accessible. We will see. His name is Dave, and he will also be staying here in the winter. Yeah! He will be working on the Birch cabin when he can and we will have someone here to watch the resort for us when we are in Door County. His daughter is a friend of ours, and so we know him pretty well. Hopefully it is a mutually beneficial relationship. He will work on repairs and watch the resort. We will have piece of mind that our heater will be working, that plumbing problems will be caught right away and that someone will be here.
Dave and his friend also helped John put the sailboat and 2 kayaks in the storage of the Ironwood II's basement. They are the heaviest boats so that was good that they helped. They also helped put the paddle boat into dry dock. We are ahead of the game this fall and that feels good.
Saturday evening we hung out with customers in the lodge for a little while but otherwise it was quiet.
We were both tired from all the preparation for the movers so we took it easy for the most part until bed time.
