A good majority 00:02:04.379 --> 00:02:06.439 of our clients from Growth Mode content coming 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.219 to... enjoy our little field trip and shoot some 00:02:10.219 --> 00:02:13.860 content, cross -promote, and just have a fun 00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:16.300 day. For those who haven't been following along, 00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:20.080 what we do here at Growth Mode Content is we 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.699 help make content for businesses and brands, 00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:25.439 organic content. Typically, we start out with 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.439 podcasts, we do that in our high -end podcast 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.900 studio, and then we take that and slice it up 00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:33.120 and make a month's worth of social media clips 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.639 for everybody. We do that all for them. And the 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.300 goal is to really get that organic reach, right? 00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:42.439 Help people understand who the people are that 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.919 they might do business with, buy from, partner 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.500 with, et cetera. But you know, as much fun and 00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.599 as effective as that is, we're getting ridiculous 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.620 numbers on these things. I've wanted from the 00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:55.479 beginning to do more than just in the studio. 00:02:56.419 --> 00:02:59.780 So if you remember, here's a little Good News 00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:04.030 York nostalgia. If you want to scroll back. Even 00:03:04.030 --> 00:03:05.770 if you haven't been along for the whole journey 00:03:05.770 --> 00:03:07.110 here, if you want to scroll back to our very 00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:11.590 beginnings, this winter, we launched this show 00:03:11.590 --> 00:03:13.590 at the Syracuse Winter Fair at the Great New 00:03:13.590 --> 00:03:16.009 York State Fairgrounds. We did. We did it live 00:03:16.009 --> 00:03:21.150 right there in the booth, I guess, right? In 00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:26.729 our spot. And one of our first guests was John, 00:03:27.009 --> 00:03:29.590 the owner of the River Edge Mansion. I think 00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:31.229 he was. The place where I was. Was Mike Lisi 00:03:31.229 --> 00:03:35.729 or hip? We'd have to go check the tape. First 00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:38.129 or second guest. Either way. I mean, they may 00:03:38.129 --> 00:03:42.069 as well be both our first guests. And so since 00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:44.430 then, since we got to hear about it, we've been 00:03:44.430 --> 00:03:46.530 talking about coming out here, getting out of 00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:50.689 the studio. And the weather is great. We got 00:03:50.689 --> 00:03:53.009 some food. We got some people. And what you're 00:03:53.009 --> 00:03:56.449 going to see is all of this place. We're going 00:03:56.449 --> 00:03:59.020 to give you the. More than the nickel tour, I 00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:00.460 guess you would say. And you'll probably see 00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:02.460 Danny with his pants off at some point. You won't. 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:04.599 You're not. No? That's a different video. Oh, 00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:06.879 my bad. Yeah. What do we know about this house 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.819 so far? When was it built? Do we remember? It's 00:04:08.819 --> 00:04:11.000 a long time ago. Long time ago. Yeah, it's old. 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.539 Very old. You know what I don't like? The porches 00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:17.079 are pitched for the rainwater. Intentionally, 00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:20.040 yeah. Yeah. But it's really weird being up on 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.139 the balcony. It's a little bit of an angle. So 00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:25.980 yeah, why don't we wander around and show you 00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:27.160 a little more of the property? Show the place 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.620 off here at the River Edge Mansion on Good News 00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:32.079 York. Brought to you by Ads on the Go.

Everyone, welcome to River Edge 00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:45.100 Mansion Bed and Breakfast. This is the original 00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:49.279 homestead, a Shropel homestead, which was constructed 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:56.670 in 1818. George Casper Scropel was partners in 00:04:56.670 --> 00:05:00.569 business with Henry Scriba. And Henry Scriba 00:05:00.569 --> 00:05:05.490 owned most of the land north of the Oneida River 00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:09.930 and to the east of the Oswego River. And George, 00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:13.990 being a partner with him, bought 25 ,000 acres 00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:18.649 here and established the town of Scropel. And 00:05:18.649 --> 00:05:21.660 that was The town wasn't established till after, 00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:26.360 but the homestead here was built in 1818. And 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.120 to do that, they built a mill right on the river, 00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:33.459 the Oneida River here, and they constructed a 00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:38.500 temporary house behind the mansion. And that 00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.019 temporary house they lived in for five years. 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.439 It took five years to construct this house. And, 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.370 you know, after they obviously moved in, They 00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:51.810 ended up putting a barn behind the house after 00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:56.069 they had moved into the mansion. And this little 00:05:56.069 --> 00:05:59.910 jet out to the right here was added on in 1829. 00:06:01.050 --> 00:06:04.769 So the house is 207 years old, and it's registered 00:06:04.769 --> 00:06:08.089 historic landmark. And we're so happy to have 00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:10.589 you guys join us here today. And we'll do a quick 00:06:10.589 --> 00:06:16.329 tour. We are on 5 .85 acres of property. And 00:06:16.329 --> 00:06:19.709 since we have taken over behind you, you could 00:06:19.709 --> 00:06:23.189 see we built the 5 ,000 square foot event space 00:06:23.189 --> 00:06:26.629 with artificial turf. So that outdoor events, 00:06:27.050 --> 00:06:30.209 weddings, people that have garden weddings or 00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:32.470 so forth, you know, it's a great space for that. 00:06:32.990 --> 00:06:36.430 And we've since added also the 50 space parking 00:06:36.430 --> 00:06:42.110 lot here. Yeah, we absolutely yeah, we have weddings 00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:46.110 and so forth that we'll be doing this year. Later 00:06:46.110 --> 00:06:48.209 in the year, we have one in September, one in 00:06:48.209 --> 00:06:51.649 October, so yeah. And it's quite a great space 00:06:51.649 --> 00:07:03.110 for it. Yes. Casper. Yeah, so Casper, his oldest 00:07:03.110 --> 00:07:08.110 son was his namesake, Casper. And the story goes, 00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:13.990 as the story goes, George Casper married French 00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:21.740 royalty. And she was the niece of King Louis, 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.800 one of the bad ones. When she married, he was 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:31.680 not king. But after he became king, she was called 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.540 back to court, left him with their four children. 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.420 And he pretty much had to raise those kids. And 00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:44.920 they were on a trip up in... Morristown, New 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:50.240 York, kind of a holiday vacation. And Casper 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:57.480 drowned. And they returned home. And it is said 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.000 that the house was haunted with the spirit of 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.839 Casper. And that is the original story of Casper 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:10.720 the friendly ghost. Started in this house. And, 00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:14.610 you know, obviously has. A lot of commercial 00:08:14.610 --> 00:08:18.269 promotional things have happened with Casper 00:08:18.269 --> 00:08:20.550 over the years. But if you look it up, the original 00:08:20.550 --> 00:08:22.910 story, that's where the original story stems 00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:27.290 from. No idea. That's amazing. Yeah. So to Mark's 00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:32.230 point, you have the Casper significance. The 00:08:32.230 --> 00:08:34.450 house is also, and we'll show you, part of the 00:08:34.450 --> 00:08:37.909 underground railroad. We have a trap door in 00:08:37.909 --> 00:08:42.450 the dining room, which drops down to the basement. 00:08:42.750 --> 00:08:46.070 And you could see in the basement, there was 00:08:46.070 --> 00:08:48.269 a tunnel. You could see there used to be an opening 00:08:48.269 --> 00:08:49.950 because it was filled in with different stone 00:08:49.950 --> 00:08:53.389 and mortar. But when you step back and look at 00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:56.750 it, you could see it's like a perfect oval, you 00:08:56.750 --> 00:09:03.230 know, which was filled in. So to be a, you know, 00:09:03.389 --> 00:09:05.409 just a bug on the wall here over the years, the 00:09:05.409 --> 00:09:07.450 things that might have happened here over the 00:09:07.450 --> 00:09:10.029 time. But come on, we'll take a walk in. We'll 00:09:10.029 --> 00:09:19.639 take a look at the river. So we have plenty of 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:24.299 gardens and a lot of the outdoor events we do, 00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:29.279 they want to take advantage of the gardens. And 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.500 a lot of ceremonies down on our docks and decking 00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:40.259 and rotunda. So just a wonderful venue for an 00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:43.399 event. And we've done some family reunions here 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.480 for some big families, and they just, you know, 00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:48.779 use the property for the day. So, a perfect spot 00:09:48.779 --> 00:09:53.019 for the Geno Stacy's sleepover. Absolutely. We 00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:56.659 have beautiful suites, too. So, you know, one 00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:59.440 of the things that's really popular here is that 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.120 brides and groom, even if they're not getting 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.399 married here, they come in, the brides come in, 00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:07.059 they get ready for the day with their bridesmates, 00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:11.090 get all ready, take their pictures here. There 00:10:11.090 --> 00:10:14.350 are before pictures and then go off to the ceremony. 00:10:14.509 --> 00:10:18.470 Last week, two weeks ago, we had a bride who 00:10:18.470 --> 00:10:22.350 was picked up on the docks. So prepared here, 00:10:23.049 --> 00:10:26.250 picked up on the docks by a boat. Their wedding 00:10:26.250 --> 00:10:28.549 was right down river on her parents' property. 00:10:29.669 --> 00:10:33.610 And she was dropped off with her dad at their 00:10:33.610 --> 00:10:35.710 property. And that's how they arrived at the 00:10:35.710 --> 00:10:39.460 wedding. We have all kinds of things that happen, 00:10:39.460 --> 00:10:44.159 you know, throughout the property and throughout 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:48.679 the year. So come on, we'll go inside. By the 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.840 way, we have four porches on the house. You know, 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.500 obviously the front porch, the upstairs front 00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.419 porch, we have a side porch, two side porches. 00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:05.259 And, you know, these are all, it's original, 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.480 so. This is all tongue -and -groove cedar that's 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.879 on these porches. And maintaining, as you know, 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.600 it's an ongoing process. Never -ending. We have 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.440 to repaint as soon as you get done, right? Constantly. 00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:21.980 Constantly. And, you know, being on the Erie 00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:24.519 Canal here, the Oneta River, we have a ton of 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.019 boat traffic. Constant. Like, and I'm talking 00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:31.620 traveling boats, 80-, 90 -foot boats. Like, this 00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:34.500 morning, we saw this enormous, beautiful Yakobai. 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:37.789 But the great thing is from that place, if you're 00:11:37.789 --> 00:11:40.610 in a boat, you can go anywhere in the world because 00:11:40.610 --> 00:11:43.590 you can access anywhere you would like to go. 00:11:43.809 --> 00:11:46.470 Whether you're going to the Hudson River or you're 00:11:46.470 --> 00:11:51.669 going to, you know, through Lake Ontario out 00:11:51.669 --> 00:12:03.990 the seaway. So come on in. We'll do a tour. So 00:12:03.990 --> 00:12:07.049 you guys the front hallway and as you look up 00:12:07.049 --> 00:12:10.730 all the cornices moldings The flooring everything 00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:14.190 you see is original to the house. So all of this 00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:20.549 was hand -carved The shutters in the the traditional 00:12:20.549 --> 00:12:22.429 fashion Well, you'll see the windows in the house 00:12:22.429 --> 00:12:24.730 are enormous all of them throughout the entire 00:12:24.730 --> 00:12:27.470 house back in the 1800s There was no electricity 00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:31.269 you needed light during the day and to darken 00:12:31.269 --> 00:12:35.000 the rooms. He's these shutters were added that 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:50.399 fold it right into the sidewalk. Just gonna leave 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:57.000 him go right now, babe. I don't even know where 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:04.519 he is. I don't like them. So this is an original 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.679 door. So the lock sets are all still workable. 00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:12.340 That's so cool. So the front and side doors are 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:15.179 original to the house. Come on, you guys. We'll 00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:30.539 come in the front suite. So this was originally 00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:34.389 the front parlor. and then was converted into 00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:38.289 one of our suites in the house. We have five 00:13:38.289 --> 00:13:44.190 fireplaces, all stone and hand carved. They're 00:13:44.190 --> 00:13:47.169 all now converted to gas. But, you know, for 00:13:47.169 --> 00:13:50.450 one of our suites, you know, and you'll see throughout, 00:13:50.950 --> 00:13:54.269 make sure that all the furnishings that we have 00:13:54.269 --> 00:13:58.789 are period appropriate to the house. But this 00:13:58.789 --> 00:14:00.809 is just one of the suites, really comfortable 00:14:00.809 --> 00:14:04.590 queen size poster bed. The largest bathroom in 00:14:04.590 --> 00:14:09.889 the house with an original sink in there up on 00:14:09.889 --> 00:14:17.669 a pedestal. And that is the haunted rocking chair. 00:14:17.690 --> 00:14:28.799 It moves with Casper now. So we have a rocking 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.240 chair that I believe was my husband's grandmother's 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.620 that his mom had and then she when she passed 00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:38.580 John ended up with it and it's been in our house 00:14:38.580 --> 00:14:42.740 before we lived here for years and You know, 00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:47.360 I never It was just a rocking chair, right? It 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:52.019 was in I think it was in our family room and 00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:54.340 I put it in the upstairs hallway here and my 00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:57.519 cleaning lady was vacuuming and she was just 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.820 coming into the hallway so she hadn't even started 00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:03.600 cleaning in the hallway and the rocking chair 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:15.139 was rocking in the corner. We had to change the 00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:30.529 password. No, you guys would want to be upstairs, 00:15:30.590 --> 00:15:33.629 so let's go take a look. So this would be the 00:15:33.629 --> 00:15:37.889 suite that you would want if you're doing a sleepover. 00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:49.740 This is the Oneida River suite. Yes, the back, 00:15:50.500 --> 00:16:01.360 only certain times of the day. Yeah, like I said, 00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:04.919 the Oneida River Suite. This one has a two -person 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:09.200 jacuzzi, a full bath, obviously, and a king -size 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:14.899 poster bed. And this is by far the most sought 00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:23.659 after suite that we have. Yes, and again stone 00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:28.080 fireplace So beautiful beautiful space and when 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.200 you stay here you can walk out on your own porch 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:35.179 Which is right outside it's obviously just great 00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:43.820 views of the river a great peaceful space Maybe 00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:46.970 that a unicorn needs to make it up here Yeah, 00:16:47.070 --> 00:16:49.289 stand in the tub. Permission to get in the tub 00:16:49.289 --> 00:16:52.990 of the unicorn carefully? Yes. Carefully, I love 00:16:52.990 --> 00:16:55.129 it. But you can see all these columns are original 00:16:55.129 --> 00:17:00.009 for the house with the Grecian tops that they 00:17:00.009 --> 00:17:03.649 have on them. This is a Greek revival built in 00:17:03.649 --> 00:17:10.230 that style. So again, all the porch decking is 00:17:10.230 --> 00:17:13.559 original. Did you cover the... German immigrant 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.400 kitchen in the basement. This is crazy that this 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.960 is in such good shape and it was built so long 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.740 ago. You said 18? 1818. They started construction 00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:28.920 in 1818 and it recovered them. The craftsmanship 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.839 is off the hook. The materials to build the house 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:36.039 are all very solid. In the house, the ceilings 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:39.220 are all very high. Most of the ceilings in the 00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:41.670 house are ten and a half feet. and the windows 00:17:41.670 --> 00:17:44.730 span some of them up to 84 inches, which is seven 00:17:44.730 --> 00:17:49.849 foot, depending on the room that you're in. So 00:17:49.849 --> 00:17:52.009 great light in the house, which is wonderful 00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:56.769 during the day. And they built it facing kind 00:17:56.769 --> 00:18:04.410 of east sunrises, so it has great light throughout 00:18:04.410 --> 00:18:08.269 the day. So we get so many locals also just staying 00:18:08.269 --> 00:18:10.930 for like a quick respite getaway. Many times, 00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:13.269 people, just kids, they need to get away from 00:18:13.269 --> 00:18:16.490 the kids. The grandmother or father come in for 00:18:16.490 --> 00:18:19.650 the night. Just last week, two weeks ago, we 00:18:19.650 --> 00:18:22.450 had somebody that was from Liverpool. They said, 00:18:22.549 --> 00:18:26.089 we need a break. And they just show up and call 00:18:26.089 --> 00:18:30.750 us and show up and stay for the night. And Rebecca 00:18:30.750 --> 00:18:36.170 is a chef. And we three course breakfast for 00:18:36.170 --> 00:18:39.140 everybody. When you say we deliver. Morning beverages 00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:42.319 to your room. Before breakfast. Before breakfast. 00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:50.240 So, yeah, I mean, we, like, both of us grew up 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.980 in this business. We're both in the food and 00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:54.839 hospitality business, so this is kind of like 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:58.160 a dream. This is Rebecca's dream. Awesome. Tone 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:03.980 of B &B on the river. So we did it. Besides him, 00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:06.599 this is my dream. But come on, we'll continue 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.210 to take a walk. and show you the other sweets 00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:18.609 that we have. So you'll see a lot of light fixtures 00:19:18.609 --> 00:19:25.069 in the house are original to the house. This 00:19:25.069 --> 00:19:29.170 is the only room. This is what we call family 00:19:29.170 --> 00:19:30.730 room, really. It's the only room in the house 00:19:30.730 --> 00:19:35.019 with modern furniture, if you will. but this 00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:37.819 is kind of for guests to kind of chill out. We 00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:42.460 have a 65 inch screen in here and just can chill 00:19:42.460 --> 00:19:46.099 out. This light fixture was originally an oil 00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:50.700 lamp and it's been converted to electric. You 00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:53.339 can see the mirrors at the top which would reflect 00:19:53.339 --> 00:20:00.740 the light, help reflect the light. And this moves 00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:04.799 us to the back hall. And then this is the Seneca 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:14.619 River Suite, which actually has the largest bathroom 00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:16.960 in the house. Actually, I lied. You already gave 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:20.380 Matt, Danny, and I this toilet, and it's the 00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:22.980 first time. It's so interesting. Are there some 00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:26.440 new things to look at? There is. I love this 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.220 bathroom. Is this without doors for the bathroom? 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:34.369 Yeah. Bring that back. It's like a different 00:20:34.369 --> 00:20:37.190 space from the... Was this a sitting room that 00:20:37.190 --> 00:20:39.269 got converted into a... I can't answer that. 00:20:39.289 --> 00:20:41.849 I don't know. It seems very large for the time. 00:20:41.849 --> 00:20:44.130 Right. It very well could have been. They didn't 00:20:44.130 --> 00:20:46.789 even have indoor plumbing. Probably, I don't 00:20:46.789 --> 00:20:49.769 know. Didn't. Probably didn't. Back in the day, 00:20:49.869 --> 00:20:55.369 did not. All these things have been added since... 00:20:55.369 --> 00:20:57.410 My wife and I added all the central air to the 00:20:57.410 --> 00:21:01.849 house. There was only... We bought it in 2021. 00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:06.500 That was a rough time. We bought it late in the 00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:08.519 year. Okay, so it's a little better at least. 00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:11.640 Yeah, we closed the place for four months to 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:49.730 just get it in shape. It's an intimate kind of 00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:52.670 a boutique setting and that's the way we that's 00:21:52.670 --> 00:21:55.859 the way we want it to be you know. Cozy someone 00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:58.539 I travel alone a lot and I like staying in a 00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.759 place like this because I feel like someone knows 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.000 where I am I'm not walking out a long dark hallway 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.119 right at 10 o 'clock at night By myself exactly. 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.460 I really I like places like this when I travel 00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:10.200 Yeah, so I mean, it's a small intimate B &B. 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.279 We tell everyone to make yourselves at home. 00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:14.299 You're just an extension You're a guest to us. 00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:16.200 That's all and one of our guests staying in the 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:24.880 home Plus Riley Our golden retriever is at doggy 00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:31.200 daycare because of that. Well, we want him to 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:36.079 kind of interrupt things. He would have been 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.059 running up and down the hill, all that. And this 00:22:38.059 --> 00:22:39.460 is his home, it probably would be too stressful 00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:49.039 for him. Well, he's a character. Yeah, he makes 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.549 friends very quickly. So, you know, the thing 00:22:51.549 --> 00:22:54.890 about the house is, with the exception of downstairs, 00:22:55.130 --> 00:22:57.630 two rooms, the kitchen, and that main hallway 00:22:57.630 --> 00:23:00.450 downstairs, the back hallway, all these floors 00:23:00.450 --> 00:23:03.369 are original. All the banisters in the house 00:23:03.369 --> 00:23:06.069 are original. Was this here when you bought it? 00:23:06.089 --> 00:23:08.750 We did. I don't know why. When you show us the 00:23:08.750 --> 00:23:10.970 first time, I just love this mirror. Well, the 00:23:10.970 --> 00:23:13.569 mirrors in the house are pretty off the hook, 00:23:13.750 --> 00:23:17.950 quite frankly. They had to put a two -by -four. 00:23:18.349 --> 00:23:21.910 to mount this thing. It's so heavy. Oh, for real? 00:23:22.589 --> 00:23:27.190 So they created its own stud, yeah. Well, they 00:23:27.190 --> 00:23:30.269 wanted it there, though. That's where they wanted 00:23:30.269 --> 00:23:36.130 it. And this is the Aswego River Suite, which 00:23:36.130 --> 00:23:39.849 is the smallest suite, more intimate. It's got 00:23:39.849 --> 00:23:48.690 an enormous bathroom with a jacuzzi. Was closed 00:23:48.690 --> 00:23:55.769 We closed it To do work we did we needed to do 00:23:55.769 --> 00:24:03.309 like this entire room has been renovated We had 00:24:03.309 --> 00:24:08.630 to the house was eight inches off it had dropped 00:24:08.630 --> 00:24:10.670 eight inches so we had to jack the house last 00:24:10.670 --> 00:24:14.349 year and Everything cracked, and the windows 00:24:14.349 --> 00:24:16.349 were crooked.

It could be definitely served on one 00:24:27.670 --> 00:24:30.049 of the porches, absolutely, when people was like... 00:24:30.049 --> 00:24:33.470 Imagine. We're launching a VIP program.
