Gnome Replacement Operation in Action

Sadly, our colorful Garden Gnome, who has been watching over our building site, bit the dust somehow. (Sorry Grace and Marvin...) We found him smashed to pieces one morning so Operation Gnome Replacement was put into action. A trip to Eureka Springs with Peg and Charlie resulted in the perfect new Gnome. He is playing an accordion - a tribute to our limited but ever joke-producing Polish heritage. So now instead of two-steppin'around the house, we'll be doing the Polka!

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...

Morris Hanks, our outrageously wonderful builder and good friend, help sister Peg and Butch decide on the best place for the "Tickle Washer" in the jet tub.

Porch Views, Porch Views, and More Porch Views...

Our new generator so we are never without an energy source! This will convert our natural gas into electricity and help reduce our energy bill - especially with the A/C in summer.

Laundry Room and Master Bedroom Closets Get a Painting

Both laundry room and closet cabinets and shelves will remain white. Thanks again Georgi Irwin for your closet design input!

Fun Showing Off Our Piece of Heaven in the Woods...

Jim Hoben, a friend from our Tyson Chicken days, gets a tour of Clearwood on his visit to Fayetteville.

Peg and Charlie Weniger, my sister and brother-in-law, have been up here twice now as they travel the country on their Harleys. Next time they're here the house will be finished and we will be in our new home!!!!!

Visitors

Frances and Lon Jones pay a visit to the new home construction site.

Porch and Cabinets Progress

Our framers have been busy laying the porch out. We are using an artificial material - the name escapes me at the moment - and we are looking forward to the luxury of their being maintenance free. However they are not trash-free courtesy of our rascally raccoons!

Front Door is looking most welcoming!

Laundry Room Cabinets are in temporarily...
