New House? Definitely!

This is the loft after the men had finished building! See the last post for before pics. I am so excited about all this extra space! (you can only see half of it in this pic.)

This was the kitchen space before...


...and after!


We used to have a closet in this corner of the living room.


Now we have stairs!


This was the bathroom before. Check out the bucket shower! It worked fine but I like the new one MUCH better!

A toilet and sink and hot water heater! Whoopie!!!!

Thank you to everyone who helped with this!

A New House?

Ben and a team of guys have taken 2 trips out to work on our house. It was pretty rustic with no indoor plumbing and very little space. They spent many hours fixing up the attic space, adding a septic tank, building stairs, putting on a new roof, installing sinks and a toilet as well as countless other things. These pics are from after the first trip. I'll post more when I get them! The picture above shows the work on the septic tank. These two men dug through the perma-frost which was only just starting to thaw.

Ben, working on insulating the "loft."
This area will be our home school room and offices.

Hmm...I guess this one came before the other one.

Half of our new roof.

Thanks guys, for all your work!!
