Yesterday Richard and I went to check out roofing shingles in town while the crew continued on the house. They framed and raised the back (third) side of the house. After we came back we had to rush to go out to dinner with Mom, Pa and Becky (the neighbor). When we got back from dinner we climbed the boards and wandered around the house. Richard thinks the master bath is a little small but its the same size as the bath in the apartment in Saudi Arabia. I like it .
I'm hanging out our bedroom window...the Airstream is directly across from it right now blocking the view of the Sanctuary. We have a forest to the west of cedar and oak with a spring located right on the property line. Deer and other animals go there to drink. The spring is not visible from the house, but the creatures walking through that section of the forest are. Richard has decided to leave that area in as natural state as possible as a sanctuary for the animals.
I am walking from my pantry to the kitchen. We knew the views from all windows would be gorgeous...and they ARE! The property behind is completely screened by trees with a patch of forest between. The people who own the property only visit it once a year or so. A male turkey, 4 jakes (young male turkeys not yet old enough to have beards or tail feathers) and 2 females live in those woods. Echo has bounced them into the trees a couple times, despite the fence between their nesting grounds and the forest. The deer also use this section of the woods to hide in before going through the neighbor's meadows to my parents' property. Pa planted wheat out back of his place so they'd have snacks.
This is the back of the house. There will be a deck attached at a future date so we can sit out and watch the animals in the forest between us and the neighbor's. The back door will open into the pantry, which will also be the laundry room/mudroom. There will be two arched doorways with no doors in the pantry, one leading to the living room and one leading to the kitchen.
