A Tour for Pat

My sister has told me that it's really hard to figure out what the house is about from the pictures I've posted so lets take a tour...


Approaching from the street the furthest door to the left is the entry to the mudroom, laundry, mechanicals and a washroom handy to Roy's workshop. Guests would enter by the door in the center of the shot which brings you into the sun room, behind that wall of windows. From inside the front door I'm looking back and out at Roy, the workshop and carport.


Top left: From the sun room I'm looking to the back of the house where we have 3 patio doors onto the woods and creek. To the left is the kitchen and pantry, to the right the fireplace and sleeping quarters. Top Right: from in front of the fireplace I'm looking at the kitchen and pantry and beyond that to the mudroom door. Through the window: Roy's workshop.


Above Left: Now I'm standing in the kitchen looking toward the bedrooms. The missing rake window is where the wood-burning fireplace will go. Above Right: A half turn and I'm looking back toward the street and the sun room windows. You may have noticed that we have power and lights now, courtesy of our team of hard-working electricians. Light is good, heat will be even better. Tsk, tsk, some people are never satisfied...



Above right: view of the house from the woods (I'm behind the workshop) - at the mudroom, kitchen window and patio doors. Above right: a view down the bedroom side, the woods and Roy's wood pile in the background. The "jut out" is the ensuite bathroom.
The yellow power cords runs to the boundary of our lot, over the fence of our neighbors (Corky and Evelyn) and across their lot to the neighboring lot (also Corky's) where we reside in our trailer. Power is a little limited - we can run the heater OR the kettle Or the toaster, but ONLY one at a time. Keeps things interesting...


Above left: our home for the last 6 months, looking a little desolate and scary in the snow. Above right: completing the tour I'm standing on the road in front of Corky's hedge and looking at our lot, and the cars, trucks and trailers of the tradespeople working on our house. In this small community we are an employer of means, by no means. Pat, I hope the tour helps .
