The Static

Well, the static, aka Clearwater, is nearly ready for habitation by paying customers - I was down there yesterday to put up a few ornamentations. Just a few more artworks are needed to complete the image we're trying to convey. Click on the images below to enlarge them.




















A couple of things need changing, such as the electric fire, which I consider to be a particular fire hazard after the fan failed yesterday (although the elements heated up), and a lampshade or two, which Hay will be attending to on Friday. The TV for the lounge also needs to be installed, once we get it, which should be any day now. I want a couple of large, 80cm silver wings over the bed in the master bedroom, but Hay's not so sure, believing that if they fell off they'd kill the bed's occupants. The space is perfect for them.

I have yet to install the Hive system to control the central heating remotely and I also want a couple of outdoor electrical sockets, plus an outside tap for swilling down the decking. An external camera connected to the Hive system would be a good anti-theft precaution.

I showed my mate Mike's parents the van yesterday, as they had just bought a 2nd hand one and were taking delivery of it. Mike's father particularly liked the glass patio fencing facing the lake and called it an 'infinity patio', a term which I really liked and will get the company which is managing our rentals, Cotswold Retreats, to use.


The advert is already live and we're taking bookings from mid December, by which time we hope to have the patio doors, which were broken in a failed attempt at entry by a thief, replaced. The advert photos are temporary and a professional photographer is coming on Saturday.
