Home SWEET Home

Thought I'd put a few newer pictures up of the house. Sorry some pictures are a bit dark, but hopefully you can still get an idea. Since the last house pictures I posted, a breakfast nook has been added (okay, well, all-the-meals-nook), which is fun.








In the wide picture above, you see (from left to right): part of a stool from the table; the shower area, blocked off by a wooden divider; a maroon bucket which holds shower and dish-washing water and is accessible from the shower side and the sink side (still have to draw water from outside, but plans are in process to hook up a pump to the well out back); a sink; the propane tank and stove corner; dishrack; drinking water stand (yeah! no more boiling drinking water!); the everything kitchen counter, including the box oven on the second shelf.








My neighbor has lined flowers along the backside of the kitchen, and they are growing up, making the jungle view even prettier! Don't know if you can see them....
Electricity is completely unpredictable, so kerosene lamps are posted all around the house for those frequent nights without electric. Sometimes it's easier to leave both on, to avoid getting up and down switching back and forth between the two. On the right is a peek view from the kitchen area into the bedroom where the new desk/bookshelf sits. I love this house. It has been so fun to build it bit by bit.
