May 2018 - Back At The Cabin...

Another season starts for us at our little getaway this month.

During the winter, the Gazebo we had collapsed due to 5" of snow on top of the canvas topper, so we had a local guy tear the thing down and throw it away.  This is what it looks like now with the gazebo gone.

We decided to get a couple of umbrellas to keep the sun off us on hot days instead of getting another cheap Gazebo.  We'll just wait until this summer to see if an umbrella is sufficient.

We also had to get a new awning for the trailer.  It had holes in it and the springs were broken an it wouldn't roll up anyway.  As the saying goes - it's always something. :)

Hay fever has got Kathy and I down for the last week.  The pollen is REALLY bad this year.  I actually went to the doctor because I was having trouble;e breathing, but in the last week ( today is 5-16-2018) we've had a little rain and that knocks the pollen off the trees so it's a little better today than a couple of days ago.

What else did we do?  Oh yeah.  I hired a plumber to re-plumb the PVC piping under the cabin.  Whoever did it before did a terrible job and there were leaks everywhere.
Old plumbing.  Lot's of leaks and lots of couplings.  Everything redone now.  Looks great!
So the gazebo, cabin plumbing and trailer awning were the big renovations to get ready for the 2018 season.  Now I'm getting ready to pimp out the golf cart!
