Late September

We're getting close to move in.  Late October if all goes well.  Electricians have finished, the floors have been installed and the floor finishers have started today.  We're going to have an old fashion stain and wax finish on the yellow pine tongue and groove floors.  We had thought about a tung oil finish but decide on the wax.  As you may remember I bought the flooring back in December and had stored it wrapped in plastic behind the travel trailer outside... risky, but everything worked out.

Now for the pictures.

Finally put in some irrigation for the peach trees.. it had been hot and dry for some time and watering by hand with three 100 foot hoses got old.

Finally got satellite TV installed whoohoo!  Trailer antenna only gave me two local channels Plan to move the internet dish to H pole as well.

Early Sept 2013

A quick update.  Electricians going big time installing lights and sockets, shower/tile contractor on site.  Been real hot hear, travel trailer Ac barely able to keep up, but the house is very nice inside.

Got a nice shot of the rear of the house last week while walking the dog about 7AM.


I had to make a door on fireplace surround for access to the gas valve.  Use a slow close hing,  you need to see in person, but it is pretty neat!





Tile work... we chose a multi-color slate for all the showers


Master shower has a seat!

Various light fixtures. I scored two "school house" lights on Craig's List, they are huge and actually from a real school house in Liberty, TX.
