Nick and Crystal= are the most wonderful,talented couple to ever stay here. at my lodge Nick especially could repair any item in the lodge from re-placing an extractor fan in the ceiling of a bathroom to fixing a clock radio. Wonderful cooks and care givers to me now getting to 80 years of age. His art skills were fantastic..
