Father and Son

John has been at the barn every day and working up a storm. Owen joined him on his preciously short Christmas vacation. Leaving his new fiance in town, he braved the cold weather to help get the shower installed. Thanks to a talented father and an apple that didn't fall far from the tree we may be able to have a warm shower without the fire and bucket approach Lora was looking forward to.

Oh the weather outside is Frightful and Inside...

It is frightfully cold as well, at least in the barn. The house is a balmy 65 with the heaters running full out. The Christmas week was supposed to be one where we got a lot of work done but the weather has not cooperated. Still it is beautiful in the snow.

Christmas Update

From Santa we got snow for Christmas and progress on all our projects. The gas is installed the water is not leaking any more and the insulation and dry wall gets started next week. So despite a snowy Christmas and cold weather we are making a lot of progress. The new year will bring lots of progress in side the house as we begin to finish the wonderful spaces that have been created so we can enjoy the amazing views.

The barn windows are in and the bathroom is being built so maybe in January we'll get to move in. Lora is so very excited that her dream of living in a barn in Colorado in the Winter may actually come true. It will be a pioneer story for the ages.
