YouTube Thursdays - Summer Hiatus

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

 

Due to the lack of posting activity in YouTube Thursdays, and in Active Rain overall, we are taking a short break. No doubt we will feel refreshed and full of creativity again soon. 

 

In addition to selling houses, we're enjoy our summer productivity at home too. We've put in a new fire pit area, built a retaining wall in the upper side yard, and have completely sanded our decks. Currently, we're in the process of re-staining - the railings are almost done! 

 

Summer nights are especially enjoyable this time of year. We are looking forward to star gazing while sitting around our fire pit, or from the comfort of our newly refurbished decks. 

 

We both hope you're enjoying summer too.

Debb, it is a good time to time a break.  Most days you cannot even log on.  Enjoy your home improvements.

Debb,

I understand, we are redoing our garden as many of our succulents are crowing each other.  The website we have finished is going through approvals by the brands, and other exciting projects are afoot.  A.

I am not doing as much in the Rain these days either and when I do, it is very frustrating because not much works properly anymore.

Hello Debb and Bernie - the year 2020 continues to prove "business as usual" is one of the many things that requires some additional thought and reflection.  Here's to productive activity and continued happy times.

Totally understood Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD !  I'm doing the same.  Enjoy the rest of your summer and a break!  Isn't it great!  We've been able to get away a few times and it's so refreshing for the soul!

Good morning, Debb... you've certainly been "busy little bees" this summer! Enjoy your summer break. I am one of those who has been guilty of not posting... but I've gone for weeks at a time without being able to log on... and I know I'm not the only one.

While we were on "lock down", we got a lot done around our house also. The closets are organized, cabinets cleaned out, and drawers are organized. The only bad part is the garage - it is full of all of those unwanted things we took out of closets, drawers and cabinets. Everything stacked up and waiting for the day we can have a garage sale!

Hi Debb and Bernie:

Enjoy your time, your projects, your lives, and your business. Things are getting better here on AR and we look forward to learning more from you, and hearing about those projects, and more, when the time is right.

Debb and Bernie, that sounds like a lot more fun than working, or even blogging!  You live in a really beautiful part of the world.

Debb, I was thinking I better get a few done this weekend while things are still green, soon the snow will be flying.
