We visited the house on Saturday, May 17th, with the intention of putting up our own fence along the side of the driveway near the front door. Dennis drove in from a conference in Hershey, PA, while I loaded the van with the remains (still in good shape) of the fence we had taken down from our Derwood home. We met in Hagerstown and got to the lake about 3:30 pm.
House looked good, not too much new except that the air conditioning units had been installed outside and the "temporary" (possibly) handrails for the staircases had been installed inside. Nothing new with the damp corner downstairs or with the water issue in the Guest Master bath.
After unloading the van and doing a bit of prep work on the fence location, we attempted to find the Lowes and price the rails and posts for a split-rail fence, which would probably work better than the one we had. We circled the lake, only to discover that all the garden centers and lumber yards closed at 4 pm on Saturdays.
A storm seemed to be brewing and there was nothing much else that we could do, so we repacked the van, pile the fence materials out behind the garage and left for home. We took the following pictures of the back of the house late in the afternoon with the storm coming in, so they are very dark and not very clear. Wanted to show the house completely stained, but will have to wait for another brighter day to take better pics!
