Cold Times in the South

Just arrived yesterday back down in Enfield NC...beat a little more snow which should fall in a day or two back up north. although the temperature here in NC is pretty frigid...feels like NY/NJ weather.

Went inside the Lodge and it is like an icebox in there. Need to get the HVAC guys to adjust the gas blower fans so we can get some heat pumping. Myra and I walked through (hats & gloves on) and inspected the area to see how it fared the ice cold temps. It held up well and the only leaks are the 3 little ones that we had noticed before we left the last time. Appt with the roofer later this week to put the seal on these and get us air and element tight.

Received a notice on the door from the State elevator inspector who says that this old elevator which has not been serviced or inspected in over 5 years needs an inspection within 60 days. IF not done, the elevator is condemned and that would not be good. If this happens we have to replace the entire elevator with one coded by today's standard. Do NOT want that cost. I found a couple local elevator companies (in and around Rocky Mount/Raleigh) who are coming out tomorrow and the next day to assess and check out the Vator. Thank you!

Tonight is the night of the Enfield town council. On the docket is the approval of the sale of the enfield jail and enfield rescue squad to me. These properties are the adjacent properties to the lodge and I need to purchase them from the town to keep the property intact. Also, we plan on using these buildings as special VIP reception areas for pre and post show activities. Possibly, longer term we can have a cafe in here to serve lunch/dinners. So, off to my first council meeting! Should be fun....I am sure there will be subsequent posts on this.

Until then,
