Times have been busy for the past months trying to get everything moved in and situated. Becky and I wanted to have the house at its best for this last update.

First the outside of the house at night. You have seen other pictures of the house around the outside, so this will be how it was decorated for Christmas.





This is the dining room. The picture shows the walnut flooring in the foyer and the oak flooring in the rest of the house.





The doorway at the left of this picture is to the foyer and you can see the dining room through the doorway at the right. The closed door is to the basement. The sewing room door is at the extreme right of the picture.





This is a picture of our bath as it was decorated.





The pictures below will give some details around the house. I think you will be able to pick out the location of each from the above pictures.













This is a picture of the front of the house, after final grading.





This is from the front porch, up the drive to the county road.





The below picture shows the back of the house, as the final grading was being completed. This is now partially in grass. There is enough I still have to mow.





The picture below is the shop, with all of the other “junk” moved out. I was able to make quite a few of our Christmas gifts this year and really enjoyed doing it. We [are using] the bedroom in the back as an office. I might need to get some more pictures of it and send out. I am real proud of the room I have now.





The next thing we look forward to is having friends to come visit with us. We have plenty of room and look forward to greeting all that come.
