From the road, looking southwest

My office is functional, although pretty bare
|
Progress of sorts - Karen has a real chair, anyway, and what passes for a sofa... the floors look better than they really are - we considered restoring them, but it wouldn't have looked good up close, so carpet will be covering them soon
|
The Cannibal Pot empty now, but will be cooking within a month
|
The boys are settling in comfortably. This will be the guest bedroom someday
|
