Living Our Dreams at Sandy Paws Cottage: The Last Project!

Living Our Dreams at Sandy Paws Cottage: The Last Project!: The Last Project!     Summer has arrived and Martin has just wrapped up his last project before our summer fun begins. You may thin...

The Last Project!

The Last Project!

 
 
Summer has arrived and Martin has just wrapped up his last project before our summer fun begins.
You may think him a bit loopy, since the project was to move the neighbors barrier wall inches so that it was on to the property line, but that can be huge here at the beach.
 
I am happy to report Martin is taking the weekend to enjoy himself at the drag races! Well deserved!

Beach Camp 2014

Yesterday, I set up beach camp for a trial run.  I am happy to report it can be set up and stays up in fairly strong wind.

The nice family in the photo agreed to model for me. As you will notice in the background their chairs blew away in the two minutes the photo shoot took.

I know Zoe and I were the entertainment as many sunbathers watched us set up what they were sure would end up with our tent in the ocean. They left the beach shortly after disappointed and a bit amazed at our success.

The WAVES were awesome!

Finishing Touches

 
As Martin finishes up the outside, I am starting to spring clean for our first rental season. We are so excited to meet and pamper all our summer guests.

3 Years Later

Tomorrow is the third year anniversary of our first sighting of our beach home. It was rough and kind of NASTY to be sure but we fell in love with our set of crumbling cottages.  Since then a lot of Man and Woman hours have gone into bringing us to our first summer as hosts to a number of "Holiday Makers" (an English phase) and we could not be more excited to welcome them to our beautiful beach home.  We are in the final stages and have several weeks of hard work ahead but I know we will be ready.

Here are some recent photos of progress:















 
Today, Martin is taking a well deserved day off and has gone out to sea fishing!  Tomorrow the front of the house should be sided and roofed and we only have to move the scaffold 2 more times!
