The new seamless siding is
on and the foundation has been painted a bright white.
We still have some cement
work and replacing the front deck.
This is looking to the southwest.
It is of ease to have the kids go where we go, they get in the van and
we are off.
This is looking to the northeast from the
southwest corner of the house. Tuba and Zoey's fenced in pen is to the
left,
where they can get into the pen from either
the garage, patio or the two outside gates.
Another picture from the west
side of the house and the kids' pen.
Now that the outside of the
house has been done, we will be expanding the kids' pen.
The winter skies to the west in the winter.
Tuba welcoming friends, family
and others to the back door.
Both have figured out one
ring is the backdoor and two is for the front door.
Our Kitchen and Dining Room and of course Tuba.
The living room area at Christmas time in
2008. Both have full access of the loft, main floor and basement.
We picked out the leather couch for them,
neither one will lay on it.. no matter if it is covered with a thick comforter
or not.
Tuba and Zoey in the family room.
Zoey enjoying her nap on the
bed. She is never without a pillow under her head. We designed our house
with our kids in mind.
Most of the rooms have it
where there are two entry or exits.
The dog water is in the shower
in the bathroom on the main floor right off the bedroom and main hallway.
The bedrooms, family room,
offices, etc. all are large enough to accommodate three large dog beds
or crates.
With the use of baby gates
I can feed three dogs separately, but where I can see them.
The downstairs is now finished which includes a storm shelter and full bathing facilities for the kids.
A large open basement where
there are two doors going thru each room in a big loop for when it is icy
out.
This is the view out the east
door of the house. As you maybe able to see, we are on the top of the hill
west of Manning.
Close to the center of the
picture is a 100+ year old church which was moved from south of town.The
church is on the east edge of Manning.
