It's getting close to camping season

The nights are cooling down. The air is crisp.

John and I, along with Melvin and his bulldozer, created a beautiful spot down near the creek. We have one or more Great Blue Herons that frequent the stream and Canadian geese have begun passing by.

Estimates keep coming in for different parts of the house even though Leslie and I have decided to make a few changes. Move a bathroom here - add some space there... It is certainly a treat working from scratch rather than trying to figure out an old house, although I was scrolling through some photos of my last house just last night. I really can't believe that Leslie has stuck by me through all this. She must be a bit crazy.

Anyway... The port-a-potty is in place. You can bath in the spring house. Bring plenty of chocolate, marshmallows, and gram crackers.

Fall is just around the corner.

On The Road Again

Home building has taken a back seat to road building over the past two weeks. And I can tell you -- IT'S A LONG WALK TO THE MAIL BOX! We decided to bring the road up along a contour line instead of shooting straight up the back. It made for a much more manageable slope but added significant length. I can't wait to try a full speed run down the hill on the bike. Hopefully we will get enough snow to try the sled out as well. If you come through town stop by and try it out. Happy motoring!

A Few Good Cabinets

Image
Riner's Cabinet Shop strikes again. This time Craig came up with a short bank of cabinets to go in the dining room bump-out. After putting the windows in, I felt the the ceiling really need to come down to make the space more intimate. There was a small dilemma in that recessed lighting had already been installed in the ceiling. Solution: Uncle Earl! Uncle Earl does beautiful stained glass work and has graciously agreed to build four small panels to fit in the doors. Throw the switch and Viola! Beautiful back-lit stained glass. It nice when things come together... See the original sketch.
