More pictures

We finally got by the site on Saturday. Here's the new water well equipment that will eventually be surrounded by some kind of "house."

As I mentioned in my previous post, the plumber came and did his before-slab work. This is one of the sides with two baths.

This is the other side with the kitchen, mud room and half bath.

Then, today Mom and Dad came to Ellinger and we tore down one of the outbuildings at our country house. Our house was built in 1885, and we're guessing that this outbuilding was built about 100 years ago (or at least the wood is that old). Here it is before we started:

Here are some pictures during the tear-down (including the part where Chip hooked the building up to his car and pulled it down...so Chip).

We are going to take the old wood to the barndo, repaint it (probably red), power wash it to make some of the paint chip and hang it on the kitchen/living room wall. This is a "green" part of the project. Using reclaimed wood is very popular right now, and I can't wait to see the finished product.
