Happy Winter Solstice!!

counter: before...

and after

Leroy is a super great guy

Leroy and Larry will be installing our propane

They ran lines to where the heater will go, inside the wall so we can get the knotty pine wall covering on

The lines come out of the wall under the counter,  where lines will also run for our stovetop

DK measured everything out to accomodate our appliances

So I rounded up naughty goats,

and helped Bruce, the property owner, load up all our wood scraps, (added to collection in background) which he will find uses for-awesome!

We worked together to clean up the yard so the rental my brother was in, would be ready to rent

A fresh start, Bruce called it.  We are grateful for his help. 

Interior Walls Y'all

The planning stage...

Is that moonshine?

Lucky to get dry weather to cut wood this time of year

Looks great DK!

the space framed by the window...

and this one DK is peeking through, will be left open for air flow

Meanwhile I have been working on insulation for the ceilings

Next: counter framing, and meeting with our friend Leroy about putting in our propane lines for heat and cooking

We are moving our home in about a month.  My brother and his family moved off the property, so it's go time.  We wish them health and happiness in their new home and a happy birthday to our nephew Dyllan.

MCS Christmas, A little song by Anita Bretha Freshair, to the tune of Teddy Bear Picnic

If you should borrow a book today
And you're chemically sensitive, too
Promptly quaruntine in a cellophane bag
It's really not safe for you

It's a matter of fact
Each book's been attacked
By second-hand scents
Hand creams and fragrance
You better ask for a Nook or an E-book for Christmas

Rain on a Metal Roof

No Time Like The Present
