I am the property manager for our Family Owned Lodge located on an old strip pit in southwestern Indiana. These videos cover my work at the Lodge solving problems. I also post historical videos for the benefit of some of the younger members of the property.
Last visit to Mow the grass and Mulch the leaves before winter arrives. Vegetable Oil for protection
Probably the last warm day of the year. I decided to mow the grass one final time as I also wanted to mulch all the leaves collecting on the lawn and driveway. I'm also trying vegetable oil this year to apply to the valve cartridges to prevent corrosion and mineral buildup. Put the oil into the shallow water pump in hopes of preventing rust and mineral buildup.

I noticed some new Checks (cracks) in the Log Siding. Our maintenance contractor was injured in an accident and canceled his Fall repair visit. So I decided to attempt repairs myself.

Spent the day filling in the latest Log Checks (cracks) that developed over the past year. Water getting into the checks can cause log rot if not filled in. I used Energy Seal chinking to fill in the gaps.
Is this the last mow of the year at the Family Lodge? To cut grass yes, but we'll be back for leaves

Visited the Family Lodge after three weeks not mowing. Drought and fall weather has slowed the growth of the lawn. This will be the last time we mow grass but I'm sure we will need to mulch the leaves once they are all down.

I thought this was flat rock campground at first. Went there many years ago back in 1984.
Sounds like it's time to sell and buy something for you immediate family only. No responsibility equals no care. It's not worth the aggravation Such a shame..

I like Brown county. Not much into Nashville too crowded. That ditch seems to be a never ending problem. I am about an hour NE of there. Are you local to the area?
Yes, it’s an ongoing problem. I would like to install a new overflow but the price is prohibitive at this time. We now live in Monroe county about an hour from the Lake.
First
what a cobbled together mess lol
Целый ролик смотреть, как люди таскают газонокосилки и косят траву!

You spoke to my class and I subscribed
I love the videos
Al, I am LOVING these vids! Thank you so much for documenting everything!! I just wanted to say…this video really opened my eyes to the reasoning behind demolishing the original cabin. I was so young that I didn’t really understand why. As heartbreaking as it probably was for literally everyone - it was incredibly unsafe. That thing could have just collapsed right on top of us! The new structure is perfect & I’m glad we could keep some of the memory alive as well! Thank you so much for making this video, it was very therapeutic :) Love you Al!! - McKenzie
Great thinking there we want to prevent rot. thanks for sharing.
Cool place
