Mike has done terrific work on the casita and several of you have asked me to send pictures. He built the Murphy bed and covered it with old barn wood and then put a lighted tin roof over it. The chairs are still in place for writing groups, and we painted the kitchen and bathroom a bright green.
When he comes back next week, we're going to spiff up the exterior a tad, but it's almost ready to list in Air BnB.
I'm going to plug Air BnB a bit. When I traveled to the west coast a couple of years ago, I so enjoyed staying in these places--easy to book online--and to meet people who lived in the areas I was visiting! The popularity of them has exploded, both for travelers and hosts.
Air BnB is now a huge international business, so it's possible to travel virtually anywhere and stay in homes and apartments of people who speak whatever language you choose.
Creating this dual-use space has been so much fun--and it also gives me a guest house for out-of-town friends and family who might like to travel to Texas. (Nobody in his/her right mind would want to come here in August--but Mike will be the first to admit HE'S not in his right mind. Besides, Georgia is having a summer almost as hot as Texas this year.)
