A few Christmas Images

Berry Boys!
Meanwhile, the photographer sits clutching her fire extinguisher in the corner; twitching slightly as the candles burn....

The candles from Calgary were very pretty on the dinner table!

The nutcracker gets his chestnuts warmed in the light of the candle!

New hog for the tree!

Louise in the basket chair by the fire!

View from next to the fire extinguisher.

New owl for the tree

Christmas celebrations with loot!

The turkey's in the oven and we haven't opened the stockings yet!

Pretty Bathroom Ready for Christmas

The new bathroom was ready to receive guests! and it has definitely done so :)

It's very hard to photograph the new bathroom!

Close to Ready for Christmas


The clerestory windows have had colourful pictures installed in them. 

The shower stall has gone in and we're waiting for the silicone to dry before the final finishing touches are done. 

Bathroom is still full of tools but getting closer to useable.
The presents are lining up in the great room windows.

A bit more progress has been made on the library floor.

The Guest Bedroom Bed Arrival

The new bed has been delivered and is ready for sleepers!
It's very inviting and hopefully will be a very well used room in the long run.

The bed frame has the drawers built right in so that we don't have to take up any space for a chest of drawers in the room or closet. 


We're feeling quite 'hotel-like' :)

The hallway is 2/3 done.  The hardwood floor nailer doesn't work close to the wall so we need to get a regular air nailer to complete this part. 

The work has progressed into the future kitchen area.  Only a couple of hundred square feet to go.

Looking from the kitchen area to the rest of the great room.  Christmas in front of the big fire will be a treat this year!

Looking down the loft stairs to the new floor is very satisfying.

Worker man is still hard at it on Sunday night.
