August 31st, The gazebo is taking shape

A lot of the work lately has been inside and although progress is being made, pictures of something like insulation, or a wall that has been sheet rocked are not the stuff for blogs. This past week the gazebo started taking shape so I decided to showcase it. The black blob in the lower right hand corner is Nigel.


We have a round metal picnic table with four chairs that will fit nicely in the gazebo. I bet we will be drinking our morning coffee out here on nice days. In the winter we will be sitting in front of our wood burning stove in the kitchen area.


The builders did a good job of getting these roof boards to line up so nicely at the peak of the roof.


In this more distant shot, you can see the chimney for the woodburning stove, which will be just inside the french doors leading to the back porch/patio. The further chimney is for the vent hood over the gas cook top.
And here is another picture of the well head, now surrounded by more of a box. Sure don't miss that old well house that was there in our way for so long.
