Betcha You Wish YOU Had an Arctic Entry Now, Hmmmm?

The floor is complete (except for sealing the cracks and finishing the wood....) upstairs, and now I can (eek!) walk out on top of the arctic entry and LOOK OUT THE WINDOW!   It's all very exciting.

 Bob pointed out that he'll be putting up a railing so I don't fall off.  Yes, me, not the children, mind you.

And this is the view from that window:

I know, right?!

As zoomy as my camera goes; you're looking at the lake.  Big white clearing in center of photo. 

When we were first designing the house (you know, on a piece of graph paper nice and fancy-like) I had envisioned the area above the arctic entry as storage, closed off from the rest of the space by a low wall or something.  But now I wouldn't give up that view for nuthin'.
