I finally have a bit of time to update folks on the cottage. Here I sit in NY doing my other job, and ironically have the time to sit and type about Sunnyside.

We've had a two week gap between renters and originally, I wanted to use that time to paint the outside of the house. When the time drew near, I found I was too burned out on the cottage to effectively do the paint job. We'll wait until Spring to do that. I did do some paint touch ups inside the house, getting spots off the floor and painting over damaged areas where we had some water issues. We did get the leaks fixed, finally (fingers crossed) and I had our man Josh repair the water damaged cased beam where the waterfall leak happened.

Thankfully, we have gotten rid of the ant problem and so Sunnyside, without ants and without leaks, finally turns into a cottage without major problems (knocks on wood)

We have a family from Minnesota checking in today for three weeks. They are in for a treat as the leaves yesterday along Route 3 were painfully gorgeous. I lamented having to leave for a week as I think this will really be a fabulous color week.

Thats all for now. Most of our neighbors at Sunnyside have left for the season, so the neighborhood is wonderfully quiet and peaceful.

Enjoy,
Seth
