There IS life other than house-building!



Well, there WAS life when Hugh went upstairs to clean out his closet. Next thing I know, he is asleep in the green chair, carefully hugging all the hangers and the cleaners bags. Was he afraid I might steal them?

OK, after this post you will get a little break

Since Roger Builder (not his real name) is going to be doing the rough-in plumbing and electrical in the next few weeks, I have decided not to take photos documenting that progress. So you will get a break for a week or so. But meanwhile, couldn't resist showing you the view of the great room from the loft


and the view from one of the upstairs bedrooms (it was a rainy evening)


And I am heading to St. Louis to meet Lynn, who is driving down from Wisconsin for a dog show, and we are going to visit with Susan, in her new house/horse farm. Mother-daughter reunion minus one.

A big step toward getting this house under roof







and here is a photo of the other end of the house, the one with all the windows, and the view. (no, those are not garage doors — they are sliding glass doors in the basement. The garage is a separate building)
