Progressing, little by little

Here's dad chopping up a tree root, so that he can get the water pipe hooked to the well. Dad dug the water line ditch yesterday and hopefully this weekend Eric and his uncle, Clinton, will get the line put in.

Eric put these lights on the porch a few weeks ago.

This is a 100+ year old wormy chestnut beam. It was salvages from the deconstruction of his parent's first home. Eric and his grandpa chopped it up with an axe and painted it with polyurethane. I think it adds a lot of character to our ceiling. Notice the new light fixture that will hang over the dining room table.

These lights....I'm not crazy about but, we had a really hard time finding the right lights to hang over the mantle. They'll probably grow on me.

That's all for now.
