Yesterday was Saturday, April 23, 2011. We woke up to 5 inches of wet snow on everything. I let out Orla and that's when I saw the big branches next to my new Lincoln (new to me). I knew then that it had been hit. I just didn't know how badly. Later I walked over and took a peek under the snow. There was a huge dent between the sun roof and the back window. That was sad. But at least it didn't break a window. Maybe we can just pop the bump out.
Today the cleaning girls were coming to start the spring cleaning. John and I went into the cabins to see if we could get the heat to start up. I couldn't figure out why the heat wasn't turning on. I had the gas on, the switches on, the breakers on and nothing was happening. John checked it out and found out the switch was supposed to be down and one of them had a pilot that had to be lit on the other. All is well within an hour and the heat was cranking.
John had to repair one pipe in the kitchen of Aspen cabin. He had some spare parts downstairs and that worked great. He took about 20 minutes and he was finished. He's getting to be a professional plumber.
The cleaning crew arrived at noon and started on the Spruce cabin. Spring cleaning is pretty extensive. Every wall and ceiling has to be swept off to get rid of cobwebs, then every wall has to be wiped down with a soapy solution. Then all furniture, bed frames, pictures, everything gets wiped down inside and out. After that the room gets vacuumed or floor gets washed. The kitchen has every dish/pot and pan and everything washed. Then all the cabinets get washed out, dishes put back in, appliances cleaned inside and out and floor cleaned under everything. The screen porch gets wiped down too and windows inside and out get cleaned. In other words, everything is cleaned all over.
They finished Spruce in 5 hours with a crew of 4. That was perfect timing for them to do a great job. They came into the lodge for a snack and then went into the Aspen cabin to start that one. They cleaned until 7 p.m. They will be back next Saturday. Until then I will have to inspect everything in preparation of a customer coming April 29-May 1 weekend.
I cleaned my own house a little, organized some more clean cabin laundry, made all the bags up for the Spruce cabin for them to make the beds, etc., and made a nice dinner.
My son called and will be here for Easter dinner which is nice. I baked a blueberry cake in preparation of tomorrow's dinner. I cleaned windows, straightened out the lodge a little and then we watched a movie, "The King's Speech". It was good and we enjoyed it. It was a good day.
