Updates

Should have lots of new pictures to post this week. My dad took a week's vacation to help us on the farm. Since it looks like today and tomorrow will be the only decent days - minus rain - the plan is to throw up as much siding and insulation as possible. Then they are going to tear into the bathroom and get that project started.

I'll be ecstatic when the bathroom project gets going. As soon as they get the new bathroom wall up (covering up the old entrance to the washroom) the false wall between the washer & dryer and the cabinets can come down, those cabinets moved back to the new wall and I can FINALLY get my dishwasher in! HOORAY!! With all the flu and H1N1 bugs going around, I'll be ecstatic to get my SANITIZE cycle back!

Will post more pics as I can!

Ten years from now

Paul and I have always had a vision for what the finished farm house would look like. Unbenownst to us, so did someone else!! One day while perusing the paint colors, we found this picture on a paint sample for house colors. This is EXACTLY what we were both thinking - gazebo and all! Sp we just had to share our vision for the farm.

Sorry for the glare, it's a picture of a paint sample.

It's in!

The new septic system was installed last night! Hooray!! We passed inspection with the county sanitarian so now there are NO holdups on the paperwork needed by the bank! We can get this thing closed on now! YAY!!

More progress on the back porch

A lot more progress happening on the back porch! Paul got it all sealed up last night - thankfully just in time before a huge storm hit! But we have a new door to the south and two new windows and a lot of insulation. He got the floor installed last night too. Now I just have to decide where I want outlets to be and we are ready to insulate the walls.

Tearing out part of the south wall to install a new window and make room for the new door.

Just a shell at this point, but still lots of progress being made!

Major insulation happening in the floor boards. It won't be cold out here anymore!

New door and window to the south and double window to the east. We get fantastic light back here now!

The new windows just after they went in.

We moved the door so that you now enter the back porch from the south - by the wash house.

The proud installer of our new door.

Framing in the new window - before the door went in.
