Great opening weekend! THANK YOU "Sauermen" for closing. It may have been a childhood memory and a lot of work, but for the 1st time in 7 seasons, there were no broken pipes. I don't know what the trick was, but would love to know it.
Given the hard winter, the cabin held up well. We found some broken boards, a couple of KleenEx driven marmot nests, and subsequent their Darwin Awards. BLECH!!! There was some further weathering of the exterior, but not much else. In the future, I'd recommend placing all paper goods in upper cabinet above the toilet. The varmints don't seem to be able to reach that.
I worked on the lighting, but could not, with the tubing there, fix the light over the stove. The others work, and I'll try to get the parts I need for the broken one before we next go up. For present there is a Coleman hung nearby.
Ellen cleaned like a maniac, and it is up to "Sara Devine standards" downstairs. (Bless you, Sara!) We ran out of Swifters upstairs, but hopefully one of us will take care of that.
We have a construction worker friend who is going up 4th of July weekend to see about some of the repairs. When do you plan to go up?
If we hire help, how much $ do we want to spend?
