Guest Bedroom

Originally the 3rd floor bedroom was a loft that was accessed through the guest bedroom. We relocated the entry door to the guest bedroom, walled off that side of the stairs and opened the wall on the other side of the stairs.

Good thing Tim has HVAC experience because he had to relocate several ducts and vents!

Larger Master Closet

The master closet is a bit on the small side, so we extended it a couple of feet (so Tim has plenty of room for his corporate dress clothes - ha!).

New Laundry Closet

We are closing off the opening from the 2nd floor that looked over the living room. It was very 'dated' and we wanted to create a laundry closet on the 2nd floor. The washer and dryer used to be in the garage. Plumbing is complete so we are waiting on the electrician to finish so we can insulate and drywall.

Somebody always has something nicer...

No matter what you have, somebody always has something nicer...and they usually park it right next to you. This is our neighbors boat, docked just one slip down from ours! It looks and SOUNDS GOOD!

Dogs AHOY!

Tucker LOVES going on the boat! Look at that smile on his face! He is all over it and he likes just sitting with the wind in his face and looking all around. Ty is doing better but he still sticks pretty close by.

Lance's Theme Song

'Sail' by AWOLNATION

Sail!

This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
I blame it on my A.D.D. baby

This is how an angel cries
I blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Pennsylvania Craftsmanship

Lance volunteered (I think Tim actually shamed him into it) to come help for a week. Tim took a few days off work too and, WOW, they got a lot done. The only negative is Oscar had enough of them after just one day and he hasn't been back since!

They raised and leveled the top deck and added support beams. Then completely rebuilt the top deck and installed cable railing. It looks awesome!

From this:

To this:

We cleared the lower level of all the trash. We carried enough trash and lumber (up 3 flights of stairs) to fill the 2nd dumpster. They straighted, leveled and secured everything. They also removed the railing and decking on the lower level to make it flush with the sea wall so we can pull the boat right up to the house.

Lance had to troubleshoot and fix the electric to the bottom deck.

They moved the refrigerator from the hangar to the house so they can frame around it.

They began leveling the floor in the master bedroom.

And they fixed a bazillion other little things, as well as a little boating and a little beer drinking!
