Actually, I have the sign for the end of the driveway done but will wait a bit more before installing since I'm supposed to have our new hotel license before advertising and I assume signage is advertising.
Still working on the big one but it will be OK. I just finished tonight one side of it. But, since each side is visible from each direction on the highway, I have to do the same thing on the next side. Sigh...
I finished painting #3 and it looks nice. Rusty has to lower the ceiling in the bathroom and then I have to finish that out, but that room is almost ready. #2 is the same. #4 is just getting a decor facelift now and will paint later since we have to install a new sink in the bath and that paint isn't terrible.
I worked in the casitas on Friday and feel pretty good about them. Not too much more to do in any of them. Just cleaning all the linens and freshening it all up.
So, we are getting there. #1 is my big painting job for this week.
We had the buildings pressured washed on Fri so this week also starts the painting outside. A couple more weeks and it will be a new place.

Sign painter in the house
Today is a day at home in Cattle Landing, but that doesn't mean the lodge takes a backseat. I will be working on new signs for the lodge. We want to rethatch the sign at the driveway entrance. It's got a zinc over it now and just doesn't have the look I want. So, I have Santa Maria boards to do the words, then Rusty will attach them and then we get Bobby Sho to make a thatch to go over the zinc.
Also, I have a big piece of sheet metal that they had a sign on it. It hung from our sign post out at the big road by the bridge. Really hate the look of that sign, but I hope I can repaint it and add our new name and logo. Will report on my success or failure.
This week has been full of painting for me. I'm working on the lodge rooms. Still conflicted about those ceilings but I will just repair the one in #3 with sheetrock mud and repaint. I had already done half of it so finishing that one shouldn't be crazy hard. Then, I have to decide about the rest. #3 isn't as bad as others either. I just wish I could get some paintable wallpaper or the like.
Saw our lone monkey yesterday. He lives right behind the lodge and is easily seen and not much bothered by us. I guess he figures he's home and we are just visiting.
