The addition or Mr Fix it? (He makes me cut his hair...)

Both!

Happy Holidays A2K!

Thank you very much and the same to you. Just caught up on all the developments and the place looks great. Hello to Mr. Fixit and a punch in the arm to dj

Hi, Tai! and great to see Joeblow! (to DJ in absentia too).

Ahhhhhh, place looking good, Tai and Mr. et al.

Hi Tai Chi, love that photo, cools us down as it is 35C degrees here.

Happy Holidays lil Tai Chi.

Say hey to Mr. Fix-it for us too!

If ever there was a winter for indoor plumbing, this past winter was it! Endless weeks of -40 with the wind chill weather and snowfall after snowfall. We have managed to empty the propane tank, burn through 14 cords of firewood (pun intended) and I don't even want to discuss the hydro bill. I'm just glad that spring seems to have finally arrived -- at least the daffodils are finally up even if it has dipped down near the freezing mark the last couple of nights. Trying for a few photos:

progress!

I bet this feels good, Tai and Fixit. Really good to see from here.

Got me a kitchen at last.

Hi ehBeth and osso. Definitely progress. Two porches to finish before we can get the final inspection. Still rearranging furniture now that the main room has more space. Only took, what? a year :-)

Wow, just wow. I like that kind of kitchen best. Great job!

that kitchen is great!

Let's get some details of the cooking happening in that fabulous kitchen!

Quail eggs?

We didn't go looking for quail eggs but took them when offered. You need a lot of quail eggs to make a meal. We had met a couple at our yard sale and the lady bought a book the Mr. had really enjoyed. Turns out she had the first in the series and invited us to come pick it up. We got a lesson in raising quail as well. Six weeks from chick to table apparently. Not sure I could wring one's neck though -- they are pretty cute.

We are definitely becoming more social now that we have indoor plumbing and can invite people over.

Yes. Indoor plumbing is good.

You are welcome any time Roger.
