Storm rolling in

I was lucky enough to be at the house when a lovely summer storm rolled in.  Even got a wee video of it!


Rolling clouds


Skies just about to open up
My first ever blog video.
Wish you could smell that freshly dampened earth smell that is so strong when you have a dry August and it finally pours.   
We needed this rain in a bad sorta way.

Laundry area re-think







Kitchen cabinets before and after a scrub..

Man, these were dirty.  
Pay no attention <please> to the counter tops.  
They will be replaced with something much more easy to maintain. Cracked and broken tile is not very sanitary in any kitchen setting.  

Before
Next to the stove.  GROSS!

  After
After.  Soooo much cleaner and Kathy friendly 

Bathroom sink before and after a scrub.

It just amazes me what a little elbow grease and some simple green will do for a dirty bathroom sink.  I mighta thought that faucet was done for.  After 15 minutes, it looked fresh and almost new.
 

 
 










The other side of that tiny bridge is another world..

 
 
We have a little bridge to the mailbox.
How small-town country is that?




The attic











Look how much room is in the center!
He is a 6ft'r

New plan, old house

Ban the multi unit idea.
It is now a single family home.  A LARGE single family home. 
Most of the rooms in this house are 16x16, and many are bigger. 

Included is the current floor plan.
Sorry, its an iphone picture and I am no architect. 
Please practice your chickenscratchreading before proceeding any further.  ;)

The main floor as it is today



The second floor, as it is today
