Ideas & Decisions

The Artesian House is for sale.

And we're in the process of renovating Chana's home in
nearby Washburn, with the goal of moving there after the
B&B sells.  The renovation will take 5-6 months.

As for the sale of the inn...over the past several weeks,
we've rejected 3 offers, most recently Oct. 12.

On the 12th, we expected to receive 1 or 2 offers--
recognizing that if either were accepted, the likely late fall/
early winter closing would require us to 1)  pack and store
the contents of the inn and 2)  find a place to live during
the renovation.  Cost estimates for both told us that
we were looking at significant dollars.

Chana had an idea.

Of course, she said, we need to monitor the renovation.
But let's step back from trying to sell the B&B right now.

Instead, let's stay in the inn during the renovation,
continue to welcome guests and save ourselves
some physical, emotional and financial strain.

Her idea led to a decision that makes good sense.

Thanks, Chana.
