I guess it is time for an update on the Homestead.....

Yesterday I removed the old cubicle shower from the Master bath since there is a shower in that big bathtub....there will eventually be a door on that back wall going out to the back deck that will be rebuilt next spring/summer......What a difference that made already!!

I finally have a vehicle of my own as of last week...after exactly 12 months of being without...It is a truck...just as I had hoped for...Old, but roadworthy and that is all that counts...
We spent today in the balmy 70* sunshine getting the truck loaded with things we have unearthed from the yard that need to go to the landfill, including the pieces we cut to get that shower out...

I have beds dug, ammended, and planted....The big maple out front that is seriously diseased will be gone in the next week or two...My Sons friend George will be here from MI on Sunday...He runs a full scale tree service business, and will take down the tree and grind the stump at no cost to me....What a blessing....
Not a single one of my plants that I brought with me has died...Nothing...
I got some Crepe Myrtle starts, and some Cleyera from my neighbor and those seem to be doing well also...
The Clematis from Casshigh are growing well on the back of the north side fence...I have Iris that were sent to me in a small bed around my tiny pink dogwood, and about 100 seeds of daylilies that were sent to me in a bed of their own...I have more beds tilled up and ammended and now covered in straw, and they will be ready to re-till in the spring and be seeded...

I have the kitchen walls painted with primer, the new fridge is installed as well as the dishwasher, and a part needed for the stove installed to get the oven working properly...
My son is moving up here closer to me, this coming weekend to a beautiful home on 2 acres, that belongs to the man I am buying this house from...Same house that the German Shepherd and Min Pin that I have came from....Another blessing...

Alot of little things that have added up to big things...It is coming along slowly but surely....

Below are some shots of the major bathroom remodel.....

Befores first....shower with the door removed...
