All done!

Just kidding! This is really where we are.



I put the top picture together in photoshop to show what the house will look like when it is finished. Well, it will sort of look like that, only less computer generated. Also, working with the image in photoshop let me take the Christmas lights down without getting on the roof!

Anyway, we are weather-tight except for the hallway between the old and new house. David is working on that right now.

I'm putting together a to-do list to post on the left. Everyone keeps asking what is next, so that should be up soon!

I heard on the news that there might be snow this week. Don't everyone rush out and buy milk and bread, yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

No pics but...

GOOD NEWS! The addition weathered the rain and storms last night just fine. All of the tar paper is on the roofs. We lack one wall of exterior sheathing (and it's tyvec). YAHOO!

Merry 6th Day of Chistmas and House Pics!!

Friends...
I hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas holiday filled with the spirit of the season. Today's post will mostly be pictures. First, our dog friend Stella,



who came to stay with us for Christmas. Her sister, Sadie has a broken leg. It would have been too much for her to had Stella the puppy as company all the way to her grandparents house, so she stayed with us and had a great time!

Second, an attempt at an artsy self portrait saluting one of my favorite Christmas gifts from this year.



I have been wanting a really nice teapot, and David pulled through! It whistles and everything.

And third, here are the house shots. We have the plywood on the upper level, and should get the tar paper on tomorrow.









Ta ta for now. I'm off the Christmas with the girls!

So sorry it has been so long...

I have been insanely busy since my last post, but I thought you all deserved something.

I'll do some more house photos soon, but in honor of this fabulous collection of bad Nativities, I'll add a photo of my own.



When I sold my house, I buried St. Joseph, Patron Saint of House and Home, upside down in my yard. The theory is that St. Joseph wants to get settled again, so the house will sell faster. Here is more info, and yes it did work.

Anyway, I forgot him. Yep, I left him in the yard at my old house. Oops! And I didn't buy a new set last year because all the good ones were gone. Ditto for this year, but now I kind of like it. So now we have Spiderman waiting patienly for Baby Jesus to appear. What can you do.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for many things...

my friends and family...

my furry friends...

the roof over my head, and the partial roof on the addition...

and that man standing on said roof.



Tell your friends and family how thankful you are for them! Have a GREAT HOLIDAY!

Gobble, gobble!
