More great LEAVES!

All of these pictures are close to my house, within about 5 miles of home.
This fall has been very beautiful.

a bit more recent

So, fall has started to be beautiful. How nice!
The house is looking amazing and checking out cabinets and other great bits is amazing.
The house couldn't be in a more lovely spot. I am very lucky!

Pretty soon I will be "squatting" in the basement

I have tried to give you a bot of a walk around the house from the outside.
Pretty soon, I am going to have heat, electricity and a pallet in the basement...
:)
Basically the builder is going hunting for a month.
He is going to make sure I have a bathroom and heat.
And I am going to start moving in. Yay!
In the other house, I have very few lights that work. No heat (wood stove only counts a little) and no shower (Cast iron bath tub get very cold in the winter!)...
I cannot wait to start camping out in the new abode.

Sheet Rock, Paint Chips, Siding, Roofing... OH MY!

So, last night I was delighted to see a bit of siding on the south end of the house!













And on the west roof, a bit of our great, green metal roof.













And here we have a couple of examples of the sheet rock ....

























With TAPE in the upstairs bathroom, purple mositure barrier rock and my ROOM!







Oy, paint chips....



What Color???

Thursday's pictures and news

Ruckus could not be happier with the construction...


Giant mounds of dirt to be king of...

And for those of you who have not experienced "the white house", here it is in it's final stages of decay...
















There are memories that I have and love of the old place, but I will not cry when it is gone...
The latest and greatest addition to the house are the temporary stairs...

































Ruckus was waiting for me to come up from the cellar. He is such a good dog, certainly not a Jack Russell.

More more more.... YAY!!!


Yesterday I was able to go into the basement for the first time....
These are the stairs that go down from the outside, past the mud room.













This picture has the interior stairwell on the left
(right now the ladder is the way to get upstairs)
and the south facing windows straight ahead...
The space is big and I am thinking it will be a recreation/ craft room. TV, Stereo, Knitting, Library, etc...

















Here is another picture of the bathroom from across the stairwell hole....
You can see the back of the tub/shower unit.
The toilet will be on the other side of the red lidded bucket is sitting...





See the picture below where you can see the spot where the throne will sit...

















to the left here is the shower and tub.
The unit is tiny! I am hoping I can fit my rather large rump into the bath, although it may be a bit like rolling in a puddle, as it is not terribly deep.













Here are a few more pictures of my room....
Great big closet on the left.











South facing window...
