IT.
IT. WHEN YOU GO OUT TO THE LAKE, YOU
HAVE TO HAVE FUN AND TO HAVE FUN

SPEEDBOAT, NOT A SKI BOAT,
ALWAYS THE SPEEDBOAT.

HOUSE THEMED FURNITURE.

SPECIALTY ITEMS OR FOODS, AND
ONE-OF-A-KIND UNIQUE
ONE-OF-A-KIND UNIQUE MICHIGAN-THEMED ART AND FUN.

ADIRONDACK CHAIRS MADE OUT OF
SKIS.
SKIS. AND IT’S CREATIE AND GREAT.

WOOD.
WOOD. >> ISN’T THAT FANTASTIC.
SHE HAS MULTIPLE PIECES, BUT I
PICKED THE MICHIGAN MITT BECAUSE
WE ENJOY WANDERING ALONG THE
SAND.
SAND. SPEAKING OF SAND, THERE’S
ACTUALLY A BEACH AT THE COTTAGE
AND LAKEFRONT LIVING SHOW, SO
BUILD A SAND CHASM, PUT YOUR
TOES IN THE SAND AND WE HAVE THE
DRIFT WOOD.

AND LIMES?

IT’S THE END OF THE DAY AND
WANNA ENJOY THE SUNSET, ENJOY AN
APPITAIL, LIKE A COCKTAIL, AND
IT’S IMPORTANT WHEN YOU’RE AT
THE LAKE.
THE LAKE. >> Jason: WHAT ABOUT SEMINARS?

LOOKING TO BUILD A LOG OR TIMBER
HOME, A LOT OF ASPECTS TO
