Living in the living room

It's beginning to look and feel cosy and homey in the living room now that we have most (not all) of our stuff here.  As you can see, J is exceedingly enthusiastic about it.

The old kitchen

Remember this?  

Which one do you prefer?

Penninsulas from heaven

The last leg of the kitchen construction is complete. There are of course little things like the countertop and the toekick that need fine tuning (ie installation) and the sink and taps will eventually be replaced.  But let's take a moment and admire it, shall we?

Cabinets R Us

Take a look at this awesome kitchen! Upper and lower cabinets are in, as a result of the efforts of P and A. Next up will be the penninsula area and the countertop.

Jonah and the whale of a tree

The endless dead wood in the trees north of the house proved a challenge for  S & J and with minor injuries they successfully loaded the hugest tree ever on the trailer and emptied it at the fire pit.  Great job!

Getting action in the kitchen

Things are heating up on the cupboard front! I love the idea of putting food in a civilized place instead of in boxes on the floor.

A fridge in the kitchen?!?! Believe it or not, it's true!

Not only is the fridge actually in the kitchen, the stove is right beside it. Does life get any better? You betcha it does, because our friend A is coming to visit and bringing his toolbox and energy.  Is there a completed kitchen in our future? Stay tuned ...

Moto X Mania

Three of the guys in our family decided to race this weekend. See if you can pick them out in these pics.

Waffling

This is the best waffle maker ever!  No fuss, no custard filling, no burnt edges.  Yum!  Many have enjoyed these delicacies from Chef P's kitchen.

Clearing out the brush

I put the kids to work cleaning up under the trees in the front yard.  Three full trailers of branches and wood, and the boys drove the ATV to the fire pit and unloaded it all. Well done!
