Mystery Hill
Progress is very good but its all in the details -- duct work, plumbing for the heating systems, lots of books on electrical stuff... The interior is almost completely framed, they'll be doing the basement framing next. We discover lots of subtleties as paper hits reality... for example, we're eliminating a closet in one of the guest rooms because it's original spot would block a beautiful example of our timberframe construction and the only other plausible spot blocks a window. So we'll buy an armoire and hope for the best. This will be a beautiful place, all these small details make for art!
The Boys - Changing the bed...
As all my cat loving friends know, Mr's Big and Murphy are very helpful --- here they help change the sheets...

Happy New Year!
Anyone tracking the weather in Ottawa knows its been very mild and we've had a lot of rain after huge amounts of snow. The result: water! At Mystery Hill, we had a small problem because a drainage pipe got buried (by accident) when we got electrical service. The good news... nothing got in the basement!
We also started the steel roof. This is the view of the front (non water side) view of master bedroom with the roof.
