another update on 209...Pictures from Hubby

I am down with my back injections and stress fracture in foot. Hubby went over to 209 to check up on things and mow. He decided the best way to keep me DOWN was to send pictures..LOL

Here is Hubby petting Charlotte with Rascal trying to get Hubby to throw the ball for him this morning while I was sitting with ice on my back.
Here is the house from the lane. Here is the two sections they missed when roofing that the carpenter found when he was checking on the skylight. They were finished this morning.
Here is the south garden

and here is the north garden including weeds not pulled due to finally getting rain.
 Then he went in the house and answered tons of questions and finally just called me as he didn't think to take the house binder with him.

Here is the mudroom. We decide based on costs to not redo the cistern so the hand pump at the sink will be removed and given back to the Amish seller.


This is standing in the middle of the kitchen/dining room area looking back towards the mudroom... doorways are to mudroom, upstairs east and west lofts with the archway to the front room to the right of staircase door way just out of range of the picture.

this is looking from staircase across the dining room,kitchen and down the hall to the laundry room.I love this , it really made a difference in light coming into that hall and into that section of kitchen. The frig will be to the right of this doorway.
and the French doors that they are still working out if the company that made it is going to fix it or replace it as there is a crack in the door at the very top that came from the factory that way.

Standing at the front room archway this will be the dining room window and past it to the kitchen door and south/north lofts staircase door.

This is my dining room ceiling that had a huge crack across it that is now taken care of.

This shows that dining room windows at another angle so you can also see my new sliding window that will be over my kitchen sink.

This is Hubby's favorite as he can see the kitchen sink window and the kitchen porch door... I have the bistro table and 2 swivel rockers sitting on that porch that he takes his breaks at.

This is the wall ALL the contractors tell each other to not even think of changing this wall layout. My pots and pans peg board on the left, outlet, gas range, outlet and light switches with a pot rack over the range...it really has been the only thing I am not willing to change.

master bedroom off the left side of hall, the basement door is on the left side of the hall also but Hubby didn't get a take a picture of doors LOL

Laundry room.... this is at that very end of the hallway. There is a doorway to the left of this picture that goes into the bedroom so it might end up being part closet. I am waiting until the washer and dryer are in before I decide that one.


One side of the regular bathroom that is on the right side of the hall.


My soaker tub/ shower combo. The gap between the wall and tub in first pic is getting a slim pantry shelving unit on rolls to help with storage. Hubby or I will build it as we think we have enough scrap to do so.

one section of the front room, the drywall finisher wanted to know why there was so many holes on this wall...it was where the coat hooks hung for 18 people.

Boy did the head guy get twenty questions over ordering a 1 piece wheelchair shower, they usually come in 4 sections. His thoughts were sturdy as Hubby is not light weight even though it's for me in the future and something the could last 20 years...great thought but it barely made in into the front room and they having to take the bathroom door frame out to get it in the wheelchair bathroom.

Here is where that shower will go, water lines already ran.

last picture I got this morning...this is the wheelchair bathroom , the wall where the sink will be. You can see the doorway we closed off that went to the mudroom. They were checking to see where to put the toilet as the place where it was scheduled to go would cut through a main beam of the floor so I don't want that... It has to be set so I can get to it easily with a wheelchair. Carpenter suggested I get a small makeup vanity that I can wheel up to in this room as there is plenty of space for it.

Blessed Be

  1. Thanks for all the pictures for your readers to enjoy. We have all the fun of having a house built and none of the work. :D The house looks absolutely huge, how many square feet is it? Also, I'm stunned at the amount of gardening that you do considering your back problems. A south garden AND a north garden? Wow, just wow. I'm content to garden my produce at the grocery store. :D

  2. I usually use sq ft above ground gardens and have started using Old world farms type above ground gardens. Perennials are in ground .north garden is the garden on north side of lane which is estimate 55 ft by 100 ft long basing that on that's where their 50 x 100 green house was. South garden is on the south side of lane 45 ft wide by 120 (possible longer)ft long. We decided to cut it back to where the gate is for the pond so you don't walk through the garden to get to the pond.

    My kitchen alone is 393'1" sq ft alone.figured in a L shape but still have to walk across the room pass the hall to the frig due to the amount of windows and shape of the room.There is total of 2474' 7 " sq ft. plus 693'3" sq ft of usable basement. The break down is 693'3" basement, 1720'5" 1st floor and 754'2" total between the lofts. We have 7872 sq ft barn of usable space not counting the haymow (north term) hay loft (south term)

  3. Those stress fractures in the feet are so painful. I stopped having them when I stopped taking steroids for asthma and it is such a relief.

    The house is looking great!

    1. I stopped taking steroids for my Crohn's a year ago but the foot doc said my bones are very tight together and very small along with my CP my feet are my weak spot. Solid bottom shoes/boots when shoveling helps it not happen because that's always when it breaks

  4. I am months behind on reading my favorite blogs (life has been hectic) so I had to read all of your posts to find out what "209" was. I figured out it was a new house. Looks great.

    I will keep going backwards until I find the place where I stopped months ago.

    So much fun being able to binge on a blog again. It is better than a novel because it is REAL!
