So, I’m hearing through the grape vine, that we don’t have enough house pictures for you picture mongers!  Well then, here you go!

We’ve been doing lots of little things, trying to get the house closed up.  All but two of the windows are hung.  The doors are in and the door knobs are set.  We’ve been doing cordwood on sunny days….

Here’s the front door.  I know, it looks a little run down, but it’s just dirty.  Once I clean it up, clean the window, and paint if red it will be fabulous!!

Here are the french doors that lead into the dining room.  Aren’t they nice.  They were another Habitat for Humanity find.  We spent a pretty penny on the specially made locks, hinges and handle, but it still cost less then new doors would have.

These Pella windows are the only ones we bought new.  They cost more than all the other windows  combined!  But, we decided it was important to have an operable window in the living room, ’cause all the others are fixed.  So, now we will have some good airflow through the room.  Can you see the triangle windows are in too?   (We’ve got windows with green frames… brown, white, neutral…. I think we will leave them varied colors.  It’s kinda cool.)

Today, we worked on bringing up the cordwood wall in the kitchen.  It’s one of the lowest.  But, once we get the wood to the window, the rest will go pretty quickly.  We did about 3 layers today… these wide walls take a while!!

Here I am making a little somethin’ special for this wall.

Kaia joined me and made a flower of her own.  Mine is blue/yellow, hers is red/yellow.  Cool, eh?

Oh, for those of you who might be interested, we are hoping to have another (maybe our last, wohoooo!) cordwood party this Sat. Dec. 8th.  If you want to join us, we would love to have you!!
