Christmas and House update

Enjoyed Ben and Kelsey who visited on Christmas Eve and we had snow, but it melted by the end of Christmas day. It is warm enough they plan to paint the outside of the house next week starting on Jan. 2, the first 2018 work day.  The plumbers and electricians have been in to do the "roughing in".  Kitchen cabinets are ordered, but won't arrive for 6 weeks.  We are still looking at a spring move in, but lots of work still to be done. Snow on our picnic table outside the RV, Dec. 24.

Home at end of November with roof tresses started.

Home 2nd week in December.  Christmas tree up in yard and house with first layer of siding on and roof enclosed.  

Dec. 30  roof shingled, skylights in for porch, Breckenridge siding up, rough plumbing and electrical wires in, but trenches for actually getting electricity to house and RV pad not yet.  

We are still living in the RV park.  The prettiest Christmas lights were on the boats in Port Ludlow Harbor a short distance from the RV park.  I wish a photo could have been taken of the colorful lights high up on the sails and around the other boats. But here is one with the Olympics in the background.  The mountains have been spectacular. 

Port Townsend is very secular and did not even have lights on the trees in town, but just 30 minutes down the road at the 7 Cedars Casino (Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe) are the most amazing display as well as beautiful totems. All the snow is gone, just latest long enough for Christmas day.  Best to all in 2018.
