Supplies for the
Painted Pony Resort are currently stored in 2 separate areas, one in the main house and the other in the laundry room of the guest house. The guest house laundry room is one of 3 guest laundry areas but storing cleaning and estate supplies can cause problems and is unsightly. To remedy the situation the
Gypsy Carpenters were hired to build a partition in guest house laundry room so guest have unfettered access to the laundry facilities and unsightly shelves of supplies may be hidden away. In short order the wall went up, the door installed and it was quickly finished. I was amazed what professional carpenters can do. When I undertake a project like this, it usually involves lots and lots of thinking and planning since I'm inexperienced at this sort of work. I acted as Susan's assistant so I could learn all I could about partition walls and quickly realized that if I had tried this project myself my approach would have been all wrong. It pays to have the professionals do the job. The job is done efficiently, quickly, and looks great.
Susan's post about the job is on the
Gypsy Carpenters blog and includes a really good image of the Chiricahua Mountains taken through the front garden.

Yeah, Burt and Susan are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the wall will make a difference with guests.
ReplyDeleteYou sometimes have repeat customers, right? They'll notice.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are several groups who visit the estate every year. Two groups for astronomy and another for biology and I'm sure they will notice the change.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks DiAnn, painting the new wall today.
ReplyDeleteselfie while painting?
ReplyDeletenah, you're too modest. . . . .
Quite right, anyway I look pretty scruffy right now. I've been growing the beard for an image I want to make and really don't look presentable. But a morning of painting and the new wall is all the same color now. Now on to rearranging all the supplies so they are accessible.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! A fresh coat of paint does wonders!
ReplyDeleteYes it does. Now that everything is put away in storage it is a clean presentation for guests doing laundry. As business has grown both laundry rooms have collected more and more supplies, requiring first the closing of the laundry room in the main house and now partitioning of guest house laundry room so guests do not have to wade through supplies to get to the washing machines.
ReplyDeleteand what did Glen think of this improvement? Maybe women like positive feedback MORE than men?
ReplyDeleteHe liked the new wall.
