Maverick's sanded trip to Caladonia

Well, Ok this title isn’t nearly as cute as last weeks but hey – this is what I had to work with. LOL

I got pictures of the floor now that Bill has the second floor sanded. Next step is staining and sealing then walls! We also got the heat tape on the water lines under the shop so that they won’t freeze this winter. He is hoping to get the toilet in sometime soon but I’m not sure that is going to happen this week. Too bad because next weekend is hunting season and Erik and Miss Meghan will be coming down so Erik can hunt – we were hoping to stay in the upstairs but not without a toilet – it’s one thing to go outside in the middle of the night to pee in the summer time but I don’t think I want to now that night time temps are in the 30s!


This is looking at what will be the kitchen - the fan on the left is sitting in what will be a HUGE pantry!


This is the view looking toward the stairs coming up from the shop below.


Closeup before the staining and the sealer - I love this!  It's all utility grade
unfinished flooring - several different varieties of wood.


This is standing at the top of the stairs looking back toward what will be the bathroom on the left
(where all the stuff is piled up - this will get tile) and the bedrooms in the back.


We took a trip over to Perryville to the farm store over there so Bill could get stain and look for some of the plumbing supplies and we found these ceramic heaters. Our neighbor has two that he uses to supplement the wood heat in his house. He says they run for pennies a day and cover over 1000 square feet so we bought one. Here is Bill setting it up upstairs. We ended up bringing it downstairs because of the high ceiling upstairs it works better down and let the heat rise.



Tom sent me a picture of his ‘costume’ for another Halloween party he went to this weekend. He is Maverick from Top Gun. I found this hilarious since I always told his dad that I named him Tom for Tom Cruise!



On Sunday we took a trip over to Caledonia to see this little Mercantile Store that our neighbor told us about. It’s like stepping back in time! They even have a Barista! Bill got coffee and I got Chai Tea then we met two women from Woven World (pagans) that just happen to be there at the same time! Small world really.
