Fantastic News !

Got a letter today telling me that they're finished putting on the siding and the house is as finished as it's going to get by the builders. YAY!!!!! Can't wait' till we can get up and see it. As soon as we do , I'll get pictures posted.

Nothing much but weather to report

Checked online today , and the high up at the lake is 19. brrrrrrrr. I sure do wish I could get up there though. I can only imagine how pretty it is and how fun to Christmas shop up there. Someday :)

Cold up at the Cabin

Nothing much to report today really. I did however take a look at the weather up north and wow it looks chilly. 32 and feels like 24. Brrrrrr . Can't help smiling and imagining how beautiful it is. I wonder if there's any snow and if the lakes have frozen yet. Anybody know ? Love to have a comment and report.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just want to wish anyone reading this blog a Happy Thanksgiving. I can't help but imagine future holidays spent at the Lakehouse. Just the thought has me smiling right now even. Anyhow, be safe out there tomorrow shopping :)

I want to go back !

I just took a look at the weather up in Minnesota. It's in the 20s . Brrrrrrr. Even knowing how cold it is, I still miss it and wish I could get back up there. Guessing it'll be next year before I can again. Hoping to hear soon from Bob the Builder and get an update on the place. I'll post any info as soon as I get any .

Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, gosh the choices

Well, today my brothers inlaws all arrived. My brother lives right by me and so it's really fun. They come down from New York every year for about a week. Anyhow, they already had me over and had me bring pics of the lakehouse to show. Right away they started asking me how we're going to heat and cool it and when will we get the plumbing in ? - I had no answers. lol I do know that the first thing we'll have to do is get the house wired. When we'll get started on that, I have no idea. My parents had thier cabins for years and years without any electricity or indoor plumbing, I hope it doesn't take us that long. haha, oh well. It's still the most beautiful place in the world and we love it just as it is. I would however absolutely love any advice on heating and cooling options. Ideas anyone?

Porch Railings and Steps

I added a picture today to show the porch railings. It was anouther happy surprise to find so much done. Also, one of the last changes I made to the house plan was to move the steps from the side of the porch to the center. I'm so glad that we did that. Isn't it pretty ?! :)
