Wow, what year it’s been! Last year our big projects were
connecting the duplex to the new sewer system and installing new HVAC systems -
big expenses, but nice to have them done.
The old septic system was always a mystery and concern, and we find the
house is cooling much better.
This year the big project was refinishing the tired,
weathered decks. Success! No more cracks or splinters! We went with a light
colored textured surface to keep things cool and non-slick. To further spruce
up the outside, all the white deck rails, trim around windows and dormers were
given a fresh coat of white. Other outside projects include new trash can
platforms to keep trash cans from in front of the entrance doors (Scott’s big
pet peeve!), and new built-in benches in front of doors. We find the benches
helpful when unloading/loading cars, or as a place to sit and knock off your
shoes for the rest of the week! Inside you will find new tropical colors in a
couple of the bedrooms, new flat panel tv’s, new washer and dryer on side B,
and other miscellaneous improvements.
We welcome your ideas and comments, as we are always trying
to make St. Somewhere a clean, tropical, fun, relaxing happy place. Thank you
for visiting St. Somewhere and hope to see you on the beach in 2014!
