Day 228 - 137 Days to go
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Lost in the Dark (Colombian Dark French Roast)
Some of you will laugh at this picture. The memories it invokes are good ones. It's the step with the burned hole in it. The "incident" occurred some time in 2017 I think. Back then, Craig enjoyed a campfire chimenea up on the deck of the house (where my office is now) and even though it had a protective shield, once while unattended a breeze came up and blew embers across the deck. one of them caught this step on fire and burned a nice sized hole in it.
We had fun with it as one of our video "tales" involved Craig being afraid I would find the hole and me looking up through the hole from underneath, catching him worrying about it. Even though we enjoyed the ongoing attention that it brought through our continuous social media antics over it, our guests and customers took more of a concerned view of it. Even though the step was sound in every other way, I continually receive encouragement to fix it. I guess they had to be there in the beginning to appreciate it and none of them were of course. So today, the saga of the step came to an end. I had the boys replace it along with various other deck boards that were legitimately unsafe.

The Last Resort Project: More "under the cabins" work was done today. I could post pics but they are pretty boring. mostly it's water pipe connections and things like that. HOWEVER..... Very soon there will be some "picture-worthy" work going on there that will be interesting enough for publication!
