Pictures in Drips and Drabs

Blogger doesn't like our internet connection, so I have to post in small batches. First the door:

The ugly door is now blue (and we hung Xmas lights!)

Still off the Grid

Dexter loves the new place.

Still no "real" internet at home. Since the last post we've finished painting the first floor, had a pantry and a master closet built, painted the hideous front door and met the builder who's putting in a tiny house next door while trampling all over our property.

Henry took care of the rest of the tree, it makes nice firewood now.

Anyone have a fireplace?

The backyard looks lovely.

A tiny house is going in this space. Less than 14 feet wide.

Disconnected From the World

We don't have internet access at home, so it might be a while before I can put up new pictures. However, not having that crazy world to distract us we made a lot of progress! We've moved in, had the City come through and give us a list of stuff we need to fix. We hooked up our washer and dryer and put up shelves. Put up some curtains, painted a floor, made plans to paint more stuff. We have 2 complete bathrooms and just a mirror to find for the last one.

Dexter loves the new house, he took to it much quicker than we thought. He loves galloping around and seeing which spaces he can fit through and showing off by jumping from the top of the fridge to the kitchen counters. Pictures of that coming soon!

Since Thursday is a holiday we're taking the opportunity to talk with 2 sets of closet people and a plumber. Maybe we'll start painting a few more rooms. We should probably buy a bed too. Our box spring doesn't fit up the stairway, so it's sitting in the living room right now, making it necessary for us to figure out what we can actually get up the stairs. It should be fun!

In other news, the people next door had 3 pick-up trucks worth of cinder blocks delivered yesterday, so that might be a warning that construction is going to start soon. As if we didn't have enough work to do ourselves, a brand new house is supposed to be built on the tiny lot next to us. Can't wait for months of construction noise! I'll have to post pictures of that too, you won't believe the tiny house they're going to have to build and the crazy price it will sell for.
