In hindsight, I could have built a whole new lake house in less time, & for less currency, then what this outdated lake house cost me.

But this a single has affectionate value, right? This is the same lake house where our Grandfather took myself and others to learn to fish, & to swim.

When I was a teenager I snuck the keys for this locale, & brought our girlfriend here for our “first time.” This lake house is steeped in the great memories of our life, so fixing it up, making it great, was a toil of love. The first thing I needed was a working cooling system, something the locale had never before seen. When it was first built things savor Heating, Ventilation & A/C systems were never used in lakeside cabins, you had to use air vents & wind for natural ventilation to cool you down. My generation is far too soft to rely on air vents, or anything as primitive as nature, so that was the first thing I did. I set up a small cooling system in the master home office, a single of the outdated box type models that you mount in a window. It was not nearly big enough for cooling down the whole house, however I had a single room that was the perfect temperature & at first that was great enough. After I got the locale insulated, & the windows & doors sealed, after that I brought in a larger A/C unit so I could cool down the whole cabin. There is a wood burning stove, so heating the lake house in the Wintertide is a snap.
