Except that indoor plumping would definitely be on my requirement list. <br /><br />We are going to a cottage in the Muskokas with my family this summer, a cottage with 200 acres and it's own private lake. I fully expect that, coming home, I'll be thinking about a second property before our first is even done being renovated!Nette @ This Dusty Househttp://thisdustyhouse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-30460670020928845072011-06-06T14:47:07.284-04:002011-06-06T14:47:07.284-04:00Ok J...perhaps solar panels for basic power necess...Ok J...perhaps solar panels for basic power necessities, and so that I can make you a proper thanksgiving meal!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933224703431682343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-9640489228078134732011-06-06T14:41:59.263-04:002011-06-06T14:41:59.263-04:00I think you can find something that gives you the ...I think you can find something that gives you the rustic feel but still has a stove :-)<br /><br />Some of my favourite cottage memories are going to the cottage for Thanksgiving - crisp fall air, leaves changing colour and the smell of the turkey in the OVEN.<br /><br />Trust me, you'll want electicity and a stove. I'm down with no tv and lots of board games, but girl, you might want a warm shower or the ability to make a meal without lighting a fire :-)LifeBegins@Thirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031156921598156745noreply@blogger.com
