Bathroom tiling continues

The bathroom floor is going in. Remy installs the drain in the shower floor with his young apprentice at his side. The semi-skilled labour provide some assistance by giving the bathroom a 360 degree cleaning.

Shiplap complete

The shiplap exterior siding on the addition is complete. Here is the south view of the house from the back side.



And the north view as you approach the house. The first phase of building is on the right with the cupola, the porch is in the middle, and the addition is the 1-1/2 story structure on the left.

"Papa! Papa!"

Every morning as Granddad arrives, the baby cries out "Papa! Papa!" He immediately runs to get his favorite book, scurries over to the reading chair, and pats furiously until Granddad comes over and reads him a book before any building begins.

Views from the play loft

The play loft created by putting a ceiling over the bedrooms in the "first house" provides residence for the air conditioning system, but there remains ample play space for train tracks and legos. Since it is a terminal destination, with no through traffic, fantastic constructions can remain in place for days. Here is a view of boys down below playing Baseball on Mommy's I-Phone.



Another view from the play loft across the cupola to the east gable end. The AC duct cozies up to the south side of the cupola.

Sound system

We installed a few speakers, the beginnings of a sound system for the house.

Bushwhacking

Four boys headed out early Saturday morning to clear the bush of invasive species, i.e. weeds. Some of our "weeds" are over 10 feet tall.

Clearing out the storage unit

After four years of being tucked away, we have cleared our final remaining possessions out the storage unit, happy to save $180 per month! All the stuff is now on the porch and in the addition.
