Making it a Home

We are now in and stalling. All the piddly jobs that need to be completed and thus ensure we pass our final inspection are moving V-E-R-Y slowly. It may take another thirty years to finish off, but we (especially Kirk) are enjoying the down time.


First view through front door. We LOVE the masonry wood stove which lives up to its reputation and heats the entire house once the thermal mass and stones are hot.


Upstairs landing.

Master bedroom.


Upstairs bathroom, complete with sunshine in January.

Blog on the wall. Four years of hard labour from the moment we broke ground on the garage to present.

View from the upstairs hall, looking down to the living room.

Final floor in the study, upstairs. We chose cork panels for this floor, not only because it is an attractive green product but also because it acts as a good sound barrier to the first floor.

It is a "floating" system, whereby the panels lock into each other and no nails were needed. Looks nice and feels really good on bare feet.
