JJ & Grover Meet a New Neighbor

The pups are a interested, but a little tentative about playing with this new neighbor.

Workshop Complete

Here are some pics of the workshop. Note Linda working "high steel."

Update on Construction

It's been almost a month since I updated the blog due to a combination of (1) my laptop being in the shop for over a week; (2) being out of town for over a week; and (3) being so tired at the end of a day of construction that I can hardly wiggle.

Here's where we are:
1. Completed foundations for house, deck, and workshop;
2. Completed driveways;
3. Built 24' x 30' metal building for workshop;
4. Built small bedroom and potty room inside workshop;
5. Completed plumbing and wiring for workshop;
6. Connected washer & dryer, as well as full-sized refrigerator, inside workshop; and, FINALLY
7. Moved RV from RV park to property!

It is wonderful to be living on this beautiful piece of property, even though we are still in the RV; I can only imagine how wonderful it will be once we get into the house. . .

Work on Workshop Begins

We have begun erecting the steel building that will be our workshop. The important thing right now is that we will use it to move our household goods from rented storage buildings and then can move our travel trailer to the site. We are going to construct a bedroom in the building for Maxie and Sharon to stay in while they are here to help us.
Being at the site will save time and money. Plus we are just so excited about actually living on our property!

By the way... in the last pic, you'll notice that we have allowed Linda back up on ladders.

Beep Beep!

One of the delightful scenes at the building site was this Paisano strolling across our foundation. Mr or Mrs Road-Runner has been wandering around the neighborhood for weeks, and this was the first opportunity for a picture. He/she didn't seem too disturbed by our presence.

Deck Construction a la Linda & Sharon

Now that Maxie and Carl have completed the substructure for the 12' x 64' deck on the back of the house, the real test of construction prowess begins. Linda and Sharon are hard at work installing the deck flooring.

Meet Marshmallow

This is Marshmallow, a beautiful and HUGE white rabbit who lives with his owners a couple of RVs down from us here in the park.

Every evening Marshmallow's owners put her in a baby carriage and take her for a walk. This particular evening Grover and J. J. met her. They all got along quite beautifully!
