68 of 365 of What it is Like to Run a Resort

Monday, September 20, 2010.
I cleaned 2 cabins today. Balsam and Aspen are now all finished. My back was pretty sore but I felt good that I had done something that saved us some money. Hiring professional cleaners sure costs big bucks.

The view out of the back of Balsam was breathtaking with the colors changing and everything. It took me longer to clean that cabin because of the view.

John came over to Balsam because there was an issue with the plumbing. The tub drain was very slow. After a lot of work, he figured out that someone had flushed down a bunch of hair in a wad. They probably emptied out their hairbrush and then flushed it and the toilet drain is connected to the tub drain too. So that was bad but he figured it out himself, which saved us a plumber fee, which is expensive too. So we both saved some money today.

I sewed a little while today and started a new project. I am working on a quilt for my brother and his wife. I had an idea, some free fabric, some awesome designs, and off I went. So I have designed my own quilt. I showed one of the squares to a quilter who is staying at our resort to see what she thought. She said she loved it so its a go. Hopefully Gary and Judi will like it and that I'll get it done by Christmas. We'll see.

John went kayaking again with some customers. He just loves doing that and enjoys it so much, which is good. Our customers love to kayak and the fact that we don't charge extra for kayaking is a plus.

John also worked on breaking up the old sofa sleeper from Maple's screen porch. It has to be broken up in order to fit into the dumpster. He somehow got it into several parts without using a chain saw.

Monday night football was on but I was busy doing other stuff around the house. I did a bunch of loads of laundry and put a lot of things away that I bought the day before. Next Monday the Packers will play and I will have to watch that.

John rubbed my sore back for me as we finally laid our heads to rest. He is so good to me.
