It's Business Time

It's been a long journey, but our little cottage is finally up and running as a holiday house. First guests just checked out and left us with some very kind words having thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

Of course it's not exactly 'finished' but it's certainly usable. I'd have liked to have had a few extra days to tidy things up, but all the essentials are in place.

There's decking still be be built out the front, I'm hoping to get this done in a gap between changeovers soon.

 

I must say it feels pretty good to get to this point.With over three years of very hard work behind us, and a lot of faith that it would all be worth it, we are finally seeing money coming in. And having had to down tools I am going to have this curious thing called 'free time' again... although I'm sure I'll manage to fill it all :D

    That's really great news, I bet it's a heck of a relief to have the build finished and earning money.  Somehow I found that the motivation to do the little jobs that were outstanding started to get enjoyable once the pressure was off; my problem over the last couple of months has been a lack of time to do much.

    Good one, @Crofter.

     

    @JSHarris a pleasure to read you again, sir.

     

    Just had a roofer tell me this morning that a repacmenet valley would be better with a new roof. The joys of landlording.

    There's actually been next to no wind! Have had a couple of day sails though, already used the boat more than in the whole of last year.

     

    First review is now online, five stars, onto our third lot of guests and so far all looking good. We've only got one space left for the months we have opened up for bookings. Breathing a big sigh of relief here :)
