And Like That...*snap*...It's DONE! Well, not really.

After all of the months (well, years) of agonizing over this home construction project, as a whole, it's done.  Complete.  Finished.  Wow...pinch me.

We've begun moving furniture into the house, whilst trying to sort out what will go where.  We're so excited to have FINALLY gotten to this point, but also a bit freaked-out, as there's just so much to do to get the interior as 'finished' as the exterior.  Ha!

During the construction phase, we watched, applauded, bemoaned, agonized, stressed over (and were so thankful for/to) others for their skills and talents. But now, during this decorating phase, it's all on us...….US!  If we succeed, fail, laugh, or cry, it's our own darn fault.  Good gosh, that's wicked pressure!!!
On top of that, we're also constantly trying to think ahead to what future renters would want to see, have, use, enjoy.  We want everyone who visits our 'spot' to love it as much as we do, obviously.

So, a  bit of a history lesson:  I was an avid OBX (Outer Banks of North Carolina) girl for decades.  My Jeep even had an OBX-themed license plate.  As far as that particular sandbar is concerned, you name it & I've probably rented it or stayed there.  Now, certainly the OBX is not Maine.  Nowhere NEAR.  Totally different atmospheres, topography, water (temperatures!), crowds, &c., &c.  Why am I mentioning this?  Well, what my previous, lengthy OBX vacation rental life has afforded me is a crystal-clear view of what I loved (and loathed) about the various rental homes and hotel/motel rooms over the years.

What makes it or breaks it for you?   For me, it's an unclean house, hands down.  No worries there.  But, other than that, it's having skimpy or worn-out supplies at-hand.  Like kitchen utensils and pots/pans.  Since both my husband and I love to cook, a properly-stocked kitchen is a must-have, even on a vacation.  Rest assured, my fellow home cooks & grill-masters, that we have supplied our 'G' kitchen with all sorts of useful and helpful cooking supplies.  Perhaps some obscure ones, too (like grapefruit spoons & cake testers).  We hope that, when you stay at our 'spot', you'll find our kitchen, and our home, to be in order and exactly what you need.

The downside of the OBX for me was the ever-present traffic and crowds.  If you feel likewise, then rest assured that you will not have that problem at The 'G' Spot!  We are far, far away from the maddening crowd.  :)
A huge plus in my mind because, for me, when you have spent years vacationing and doing all of the family-and-kids busy beach & boardwalk stuff, you get to a point where you just need some quiet time. Right? 
We have that.  Lots of it.  We have 'stuff', too.  Things to do to keep busy.  But at the beginning and the end of the day, we offer that de-stressing downtime that seems to be so in-demand, yet always so elusive.

As I've said many times, probably ad nauseum, if you've been to Maine before, or especially if you've never been, DO come visit our 'spot' and stay awhile.  We'd be so happy to share our little slice of heaven with you! 

​P.S. ~ Oh, and as for the kitchen, we've provided numerous Maine recipe books, including our own 'G Spot' recipe book, with some of our personal favorites (and even a few dog treat recipes).  :D
