Dec 17

Well, it was a frantic month, but just before Michael and his family came for Christmas, we got hot water, power, and the appliances in.  The house was a mess, but we put it into some semblance of order and here is the result in photos.
The guest bathroom more or less in working order.  Notice the bucket for garbage.  We have no
garbage cans yet.


The beautiful Koa pedestal counter that Gary, our cabinet maker made for the powder room.
Still no mirror.




This is where the kids are sleeping - on air beds.  Nice curtains, eh?

Mike and Larissa's bedroom.  Another aero bed and moving blanket curtains,  Kind of like the early
days at the lake.

Our first dinner at the house.  Daniel has been quite proficient at doing card tricks, so he has everybody
mesmerized.

Our bedroom.  Still not put together but we don't have an aero bed.  We made sure we got one - at
Sears of course.

The hutch looks like it was made for this place.  Fits perfectly.

And of course, we got the tree up.  Yes, it's fake.  We're getting old and trees here are very expensive.
Of course we still have a lot of this going on.  Slowly but surely.

  1. Hey--great job, you guys!!! You will be needing a vacation from your vacation home when this set of company leaves. Rest up for the Schafers and Baffneys!

  2. What fun to read about your new adventure! Judy forwarded me your blog URL and I've read every word with great interest and amusement. I thought to myself "I'm sure Don and I wouldn't be in such good humor if we were doing all that work!" We did a huge reno the year before he passed and now I need to do a bit of a facelift in the kitchen and living room. Send me your crew - they look amazing!

    Glad you had Michael and the gang there for a visit - looks like they left today.

    I'll look forward to seeing the finishing touches on your nest...... Hugs and best wishes from me, "Babs"
