Building a New Home

 Andy and Jen designed and are building a new home!  Exciting but lots of work.  We wish we could help them...but alas we are too old.  The last time we built something was over 25 years ago.

It is a large home, all one level with floor heat.  Three zones of floor heat our Son In Law says...our zone will no doubt be warmer than the other two zones. 

Yes we will have a Suite in the new home...a living room, bathroom, bedroom and a walk in closet.  Jen will have a huge craft room with a walk in closet that I can spend some time in.  The rest of the house is massive...laundry room, guest bedroom, bath, living room, dining/game area, kitchen, scullery and a master bedroom with office and bath. 

I am most excited about the scullery/skullery.  It is a place for food prep and keeping the mess contained. There should be room to keep all the appliances...mixer, toaster, air fryer, coffee maker etc within easy reach. 


Far Guy took this photo a week ago.  Most of the windows have been installed. 


Our Living Room view.

Still the living room but with a window.
Our bathroom, we ordered a walk in tub with a shower. 

Andy and Jen want to be able to move in before the snow flies.  I hope Winter arrives really late this year! 

Far Guy made to scale furniture to put on the house plans so we know what may work.   So I am thinking about paint colors and should make a design board.  I am thinking shades for the windows.  Lots of things to think about.
