April 2012 - Remodeled the stairwell going to Whispering Water’s loft by removing part of the solid wall that had been between the sitting area and the stairs, allowing more light and openness in the stairwell and adding a handrail. Looks good, too, using the rustic balusters.
view of Mt Baring from Mountain View
4/2012 Replaced the failed windows in Mountain View’s living room (the ones that looked “dirty”). Now the beautiful view of Mt Baring is unmarred by cloudy windows.
6/15/2012 Purchased the lot at the corner of 640th Lane and Index Creek Rd, providing more privacy for those staying at Whispering Waters.
8/24/12 Whispering Waters is now pet friendly, with up to two quiet, flea-free, well behaved dogs allowed. Dogs have been coming to Sky Beach Cabin for three years with minimal problems and we want to be able to accommodate dog owners. Mountain View remains “pet free” for those with allergies to dogs.
