"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.

Connecting into septic

Chuck the plumber was here last weekend connecting the addition to the septic system and tying in the water. As soon as Remy is done tiling, running water and flowing sewage is ready to go.

Bathroom tiling begins

Remy has a dream. He is using chiseled travertine and glass tiles to create something beautiful and unique in the downstairs bathroom of the addition.
















































If you need a tile installer who can play with your children and take breaks to read to them, just let us know. Remy is a keeper.
