OK - I'm sufficiently chastized for waiting so long to add new pictures, sorry.

This is the only updated picture I have with me that shows the work done on the outside woods view area. Paul took this before we left for Arizona. I took more of the inside, but loaded them down on the desktop at home, so they aren't doing me any good now. They delivered 12 loads of about 10-12 yards of fill per load to fill enough of the front area to give us a nice drive that puts us now even with the steps. We had the area around the house all graded and it looks very nice. They brought in and compacted many loads of gravel for our lane and circular drive. Paul has always wanted a house with a circular drive and he has it. We still need to get top soil in the back and sides, but we had about 6 or so stumps removed so it opened up the back area nicely for a garden, etc. The house is turning out nicely, and we are slowly getting some furniture to put in it. We have a bunk bed set that has a full bed on the bottom and a trundle twin bed pull out under it. That is set up opposite Paul's office area upstairs. Our neighbors supervised the delivery of a wall unit and desk for Paul while we are in Arizona and we are looking forward to the sectional being delivered on the 29th. At least we'll have some chairs for our family to sit in when they come. We should also have enough places for sleeping as we got a new futon for the boathouse and a queen mattress set that will be in the loft until we can get the murphy bed made. That will eventually go downstairs. We're really looking forward to having most of the family with us the first of June.
