A New Angle


They haven't finished the siding on the house yet, but here is a cool angle. All the drywall inside is done and they are completing small details like roof painting, trim, etc. We love this elm tree.

Siding Going On



The new 'red house' on County Road 13 is being born. The red wood siding is going up this week, in addition to the stone chimney. In many ways the design of this house was inspired by the old derelict red tin house that also sits on the property and this siding really pulls it all together.

View From The Inside Out - Drywall



All the drywall is up now and they are sanding this week. These shots are from the front room on the second floor. This will be a good spot to kick back with tea and a Hobnob.

The steel roof is on, insulation is going on and drywall was loaded in yesterday. Hot week in the County.

Lookin' Good



In the past two weeks we've had all kinds of visitors, cut a trail, tarted up the cabin, built a wood pile, picked wild raspberries, met the neighbours, partied on Canada Day and been chased by mosquitos. The farmhouse is coming together nicely with real locking doors, windows, plumbing and electrical conduit and an almost done black steel roof. Everything is progressing well and the next few weeks are sure to be very busy.



Here is the 'Little House on the Prairie' cabin with a few finishing touches.
