Our Summer 2019 issue is packed with ideas for making cottage life better. In our cover story, Steve and Mitch McNair of Chuck McNair Electric explain how home automation is particularly well-suited for cottages, adding convenience, comfort and peace of mind to your cottage investment. You can automate all or just some of your home’s functions, and it can actually protect your cottage in an emergency – even if you aren’t there. Also in this issue, you’ll read all about slate roofing, which John Neil of North Country Slate calls the “Rolls-Royce, Patek Philippe, and bespoke tailored suit of roofing.” Take a fishing trip with Brian Gardy, the Tiger Woods of pro sport fishing. Feast your eyes on artist Adriana Molea’s hyper-photorealistic paintings of flowers and metals. And if your interiors are ready for an update, Urban Rustic Living’s Tary Roossien and her team will help you create a look that’s chic, yet as comfortable as an afternoon in a hammock. Grab a cold one, stretch out in the shade, and enjoy!
