June 23 - 26, 2011 - "Ya Load Sixteen Tons and Whada Ya Get . . . "

Davis coating the pine boards for the ceiling in
the sun room and veranda.

Well for one thing you get sticky stuff all over your hands and a sore shoulder!  But other than that . . . . because we're doing this we will be letting the pros build us a house!  


Nice to have a sunny day for drying.


Like my tan?  It stops at my
ankles 'cause I wear jeans
all day - silly girl!








That's where most of the pine will go . . .

. . .and this is where the rest will go.
















Skylights for the veranda.



















We went to the McMillville Saturday market and bought veggies, a huge mushroom and local honey; we also met some of the local artists. (Sorry, no pics).

The house is coming along.  We will have a utility room by next weekend with washer and dryer, shower and toilet!!  Nice!

Area before, where the utility room is now.









Utility room after painting.










Wall in dinning room behind fireplace in living room;
door is the old pantry in kitchen.

Old pantry minus door is now oven, microwave and
warming draw; fireplace now goes all the way
through.
Our 5 X 5 master double shower (and steam room)!













We are still happy in the Airstream, but look forward to having an inside toilet and shower . . . and no more laundromats!

Love your e-mails folks!!  Keep 'em coming.  Glad you're home, Ed.
Shalom,  Heather . . .
