The Guest House has Arrived!

Another step closer to paradise!! Well, at least our version of it! 

The Guesthouse has arrived!  We will temporarily be calling this home, while we finish off the Cabin. 

After that, it will get a chance to live up to its name.  

Then again, it may become the Hubby's Mancave, or Doghouse, depending on the day!!

Our plan is to fix up a patio area in between the two buildings, to enjoy the outdoors with our friends and family, too!

Just a few quick photos... 


Here She Comes!

Oops, a Fatality! We Took Out the Mailbox!

Springing into Spring Like a Blizzard!

Wow! This has got to be one of the craziest weeks, in more ways than one!

After a trip across the state to see my son, the hubby and I ran headfirst into a crazy, busy week.

First, concrete blocks were loaded onto a pallet, and brought near the Guest House site for the foundation.  



Yesterday and today, we have had rock delivered to the Guest House site, also.

But, as you can see by all of the pictures, Mother Nature went a little crazy.  She decided that a few inches of snow needed to be added to the mix. 

We disagree on that point, but she can get nastier than I can.  So, she wins!!




However, the snow makes a beautiful view from the back doorway (soon-to-be doorway) into a spectacularl, beautiful view!  

What do you think?








P.S. The hubby just called.  THE HOUSE WILL BE DELIVERED TOMORROW!!

YAY!

Stay tuned...to be continued soon!

Sunshine, Beautiful Sunshine!

Gorgeous Blue Sky!

Check it out...SUNSHINE!!!


FINALLY! 

The rain has finally stopped! 🌧🌧  YAY!!

Just a little bit in the upcoming forecast, but not a tremendous amount. It looks manageable, I think.

So, to take advantage of this beautiful day, we are working outside as much as possible.  

Clearing off the land where the Guest House will be, getting it surveyed, and prepared for the rock padding that is needed.

We have already picked out a paint color or two, and figured out important info...like where the TV needs to go! LOL

Hopefully, we can get it here soon...and get started on making it into the Guest House that we envision. 👀

So, onto my next question?  Who just loves to paint?! LOL,...or maybe not, LOL! I just might be serious!  

I guess we better get it here first! That would probably be a good first step, huh!
