Big Backyard

Here is a view of our new big backyard. The white thing is not actually a spaceship but a propane tank. The outside of the house as a whole is pretty much done. On the inside, the big focus is getting power this week (hopefully) and laying down the reclaimed hardwood floor.



This past weekend I also got a chance to start work with the brothers/sons on a shed in the back 40 to be used to hold gardening supplies, lawnmower, etc. The plan is to use as much leftover/junk/free wood as possible to build this baby.

A Mason At Work

Here is a real 'in progress' shot of the mason's work in the living room. We are a creating a rubblestone backing for the area that will go behind the wood stove. This feature is intended as a simple visual reference to the stone chimney on the outside. I think the house is cozy already but, when complete, this zone will really make you want to curl up in a chair and fall asleep.
