Nov 2018 - New home renovations in full swing!


Lots of fun stuff going on at the new house. Dave has found several places to have coffee, serve as a cat couch and watch the birds from the new house. This particular perch is in the master bedroom.


Pente is stressed as usual (not!). She loves having much more room to run and play! She even likes prancing around in her dresses as usual.


I did buy two toys since moving. First, this awesome heat press. And second (not shown) a compound walking foot sewing machine. My sewing room set up is complete and amazing!


Although it's been a virtually snow free year to date, when it has snowed, it's been beautiful given the cool trees at the new house! This view is coming down the stairs looking toward what will ultimately be a wall of cabinets and shelves - aka the library.


The biggest project underway is that we are finishing the basement. It will ultimately have a guest bedroom, bath, rec room, library and exercise room. It likely won't be done until Feb - we are psyched! This view is looking from the library to the guest sweet.


To date, the framing, half the plumbing, the electrical and the HVAC is complete. Once the plumber finishes, it's inspection time. We are heading out shortly to pick carpeting and tile.


Looking back toward the stairs, this shows the exercise room

From the exercise room toward the library. The wall on the stairs has been removed to make it more open.



The house is loaded with so many windows. You never know who you will see looking out!


One of the first things we did was to set up our bird bath. It has been a huge hit (as expected) and continues to be endless entertainment!
