June 26, 2017 - Owls Head, ME -
Well, one thing leads to another, but we've got one of our major wish list items for the "new to us" cottage nearly completed. Today was the Install Day for the Hot Tub on the front porch.
Barb and Mike F. had recommended "highly" to us an outfit in Scarborough, ME, Mainely Tubs, for the quality of their service and purchase experience. We haven't been disappointed. They were marvelous in the selection process and today's install went super smoothly.

Thanks to that Structural Engineer, Jonathan Rugg for deck structure advice. Spent a couple of days last week hunched over in the crawlspace adding 2 new columns, doubling up 4 of the floor joists and tying it all in with X-bracing.
