The progress on the house is now just a bunch of little finish work. Well, I say "little", but every new door knob sends me into a squealing squealer of squealingness. We have doors on the downstairs bathroom and the kids' room/spare 'oom and the artic entry is in process of having its walls and ceiling finished.... see?
That brown is just the primer, but it's a lovely chocolate color in person, and I don't mind lookin' at it while waiting for the boards to be applied!
What else have we been up to this last wee while? Well, a little of this:
Bob and Jim enveloped in a cloud of sweet steam from the evaporator, boiling down sap into maple syrup.
and a little of that....
The menfolk splitting wood for next winter. Already.
and cuteness....
KITTENS!!! Yes, we have two sweet kittens now -- who love to climb The Boy like he's there just for that reason. And he loves it.
I can't get a very good angle of the arctic entry to show you the work as it goes on, but I'll squish myself into a corner and try to get some good shots as the board walls go up and the floor goes down.
