As promised on Valentines Day (!) here are some shots to show what we've been up to.
Click on the thumbnail above to go to the Webshots gallery. If you open it in a new window you won't lose this page (right click on the thumbnail).
There are no pix of the interior of the kitchen or the sumac grove, I'll have to work on those. However, there are some shots of the barn north end, newly enclosed, and the shop interior. We also have a few shots of an ice storm from a few weeks ago which were quite enchanting. The photos don't convey it as nicely; if the sun had been out they'd be spectacular.
We're still on track for Spring Break to be a big push. Finally gutting and roughing in the kitchen area is the goal. If you want to come help between March 17-21, let me know. ;)
After that, we turn our attention to the north wing and west wing foundations and get this puppy moving.
For those who haven't heard, I've decided to take next year off from teaching to make sure that I can get this project wrapped up and the two of us settled in. I knew from the start this was a gigantic undertaking and thought I had what it took to handle this during the summers. Clearly that wasn't the case, so it's time to take the hit and get it done. I hope to spend next winter warming by my fire instead of forking out more money for oil.
Warmly,
Doug
