Cottage 35 - Narrowsburg - SOLD
Cottage 35 has a real story to tell. For one, it was a house I built that didn't sell for 2+ years, if not more - which is very rare. So it lived several iterations - I lived in for 4 months while going through a life transition, and then I rented it out for weekends which was a huge success. I'm building another rental as soon as possible. It was a cool 1000 sq ft, 2 bedroom bath and a half home. It had some pizazz. It had some views. It had a breeze that blew down the mountain and in the back door and right out the front.
So, without a buyer while building - which is rare - I was able to let the Petersheim freak flag fly on the design - Note the red roofing panels at the kitchen. This is also a great example of how great our homes look when we are done with them. Spotless, cared for, and meticulous.
First floor 1/2 bath, with cedar vertical planking.
Black rads, red panels, early american stain, cable rail, hand hewn beams, wide plank floors and ceilings - security system, low heat alarm, audio wired throughout.
Upstairs foyer. Stained wood wainscoting.
Big, well windowed bath.
Celebrated a Christmas there with my wingman Lucas and my neighbor and friend Bryan. Lucas decorated the tree so you'll note a crowd of ornaments down low. Its was a super comfy house. Well decorated. Simple.
Training him early. Work is life. Life is work. Better enjoy it.
Ole Cottage 35 - It was a good ride. You served us well. Au Revior mon ami.

Here's a good one about the buzz words that get thrown around all the time - more a big city problem where buzz words and catch phrases are used without caution in lieu of real business plans or expertise.
10 Words Entrepreneurs Should Use With Caution
I like the one that he mentions that isn't used enough - Profit. All the rest is just hot air, since the goal - for most businesses I know of - is to make some money and gain professional freedom.
