WWL #8



Hello friends and family,


I can't believe it has been over a month since my last posting. We have been very busy getting the new property ready to move the cattle to their new lush pastures. There is work to be done in Redmond: getting things ready to move, cleaning, and making trips to the Goodwill or the dump. I'm including some room contrast pictures to show you how things have changed over the last month.














Looking towards the kitchen. All the exposed wood will be laquered Monday. Knotty alder is beautiful when it is finished.

Mom and Dad came to check out our house in July. You can see from the picture taken today the ceiling is in, the fireplace is almost done, and the loft railing is getting close.








We moved our trailer to the new house and stay there about 3 nights a week. Our first night we watched a beautiful sunset. The mornings are easier since Mike gets up early and I like to sleep a little later. Fixing meals is much easier, too. The outside of the house is finished except the rock veneer where you see white Tyvek. We also need to put pavers on the front, north, west, and south porches. Tentative move in date is second week in September. ONE MONTH!!!!
