Meet Team Gaylord Restoration. Eric the closet interior designer. Addie the Hustler. And children Max and Zane. They can be found almost everyday at my new abode. Ripping, scrapping, burning, hauling, and cleaning. Without invitation or compensation. I'm going to ask Eric if he will wear his Rocky Point tank top this weekend when I come to check on progress at the barn. I ask Eric his opinion on most all of my designing decisions. I value and trust his advice. The guy's got talent. I think he has a career, if he ever chooses to leave dirty floors and floods.
Addie has been my constant cheerleader since she laid eyes on my so called "Patch of Heaven". Cheerleader of my conflicted heart, promising me that life will be beautiful in the desert.

Addie and Jace have daily project meetings in the morning to map out what part of the project to tackle next. Sometimes if I haven't heard from Jace thru out the day, I will call Addie. Chances are real good she has heard from him. He calls her now on his breaks. Addie works herself to a sweat, hauling remants of the old barn to the dump trailer and tearing down walls.

She stops only at lunch, dinner, and mid afternoon when she loads the tired babies back into her car for a "drive". Jace loves her enthusiasm. She was almost as excited as Jace was when we discovered the property had a cellar/bomb shelter.

Oh, the possibilities.So, if you are in need of a total house restoration or just someone to drive your baby to sleep in the afternoons, you know who to call. They are pretty booked right now. But call, maybe we can work something out for late spring.
Gaylords,
Not enough dinners at Chili's, t-shirts from Blossom, thank you notes, or words can express the Baum's gratitude. We will never forget what you've done. We hope to return the favor one day. And it should be publicly known that beyond your restoration skills, you run a lovely bed and breakfast. We thank you for your hospitality.
Love, The Baums

That Addie. She's a good friend to have. How did we get so lucky to have her as a sister? And I totally agree with you about Eric, he is incredibly talented...I'm with Caitlin, if only I could be a third wheel to it all. I'm looking forward to seeing it in a week or so. Could you make the bomb shelter a guest house? For me?
