But - 1/2 in moving. 1/2 out moving. And Discovering that we really do not need all this STUFFFFFFF!!!

Have not forgotten the bees

The bees are wintering but not forgotten, Joel will be moving one more hive to the barnouse this winter before spring hits, he is probably going to put some sugarfood out for them soon and check to make sure other critters aren't raiding their stored honey supply!

The last of the big messes (hopefully)

Kitchen area is rather last to have things set in place. kinda a mess now.

Lights near ceiling

Since windows are at a minimum lights go along the wall with canned lights (fluorescent eco friendly bulbs) around kitchen area.

To the left pocket doors that were damaged - refurb'd and look fantstic now. (recycle, reuse)

Person truly does need toilets

and a sink. we found out last time not necessarily a stove tho.

but toilet? ya. I dont' do composting outhouses. sorry.

Wood, a little more wood, some more wood

The stain on stairway turned out really well, as did the posts and ceiling wood. Keep in mind most materials used are reconditioned, found, auction etc. except for the ones of course --- unfindable. When the original ball collapsed due to the contractor? A lot of our auction mat'ls didn't make it thru the night so to speak. But it's almost done (2 more weeks). eh more or less. maybe a month.

Staining a stairway

Sorta mid stain but the rails turned out really nice. Actually all the wood is better than expected!
