Dan, the maintenance man, asked me to stop and approve the way he intends to install the screen door. (That's Dan's back, in the next picture.)
I said I didn't need to stop; I wanted both door knobs on the same side.
"I can't do that!" says Mr. Dan. "Then you won't be able to bring anything through the door."
"Why did you ask?"
"If you look at it now, you won't argue with me later."
So I went over, and took the opportunity to walk up my new steps. The deck guys closed the risers, so my wheeled cart will work.
My front door, there, opens in, to the left. They did it that way at the factory. If the storm were hinged on the same side, it would open into the middle of the deck, using up much of the access room.
"So, case closed?" asked Dan. I went on in.
I looked in all the rooms, but only took one picture. The window at the end of the drive will be the studio, and yes, it has the smallest bathroom in the entire park enclosed in that room. Definitely the cat's room, as there is no other adequate place.
Very beautiful. You are going to have a wonderful life in your new home.
ReplyDeleteAll these things that seem small but make a huge difference in functionality. Good thing Dan was able to head this one off. Your kitchen looks very nice. Is it a "thing" now to put the sink in the middle of the room rather than in front of a window? I have no idea, it's been so long since we looked at other homes. I rather like it.
ReplyDeleteThere is no window in the kitchen; it ends after the refrigerator. We're down to 850 square feet.
DeleteAh, just so.
Deletewhy did they make the deck bi-level? they couldn't have made the stairs 6 steps and the deck all one level? other than that...progress!
ReplyDeleteSix steps would have extended far into the very small driveway.
DeleteI like it. It's very spacious inside.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along. From what I can see of the kitchen it looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteone step...or ramp! at a time
ReplyDeleteJune will be here so soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I like the black appliances.
ReplyDeleteGood to see it coming on.
ReplyDeleteIt’s looking good! Soon!
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen looks really good with plenty of prep room.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the place now.
ReplyDeletegood progress
ReplyDeleteI dread the move for you.It is such a pain to move. It does look nice though.
ReplyDeleteJust you and the cat. It shall be grand.
ReplyDeleteIt is grand already. You are grand too for that wonderful note you left me. It's 3 feet by 3 feet...actually larger, but the frame and the mat were free. I did that piece from a photo of grandma hanging out her wash on a hot, wind whipped, Arizona day.
ReplyDeleteThe clothes are alive and happy and living with the wind!
DeleteOh, it's looking good! You will enjoy living there! Be well! (I am blogging again.)
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice looking deck. Will there be room for pig and toad on the steps? I like the kitchen too.
ReplyDeleteRiver, I was just going ask the same question. Pig and toad have to make the move. Joanne did your Mandevilla survive? I just dug mine out of storage and there are three little sprouts.
DeletePig, toad and lambie all have room. And since there is an extra step, hedgy can move over, too.
DeleteIt's new mandevillas every year. I think I'll wait for the new porch before I go to the nursery.
DeleteI like the kitchen! It looks roomy in the picture; I hope it is! Looking good with the steps in front too!
ReplyDeleteWon't be long!
betty
Promising.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have finally found a rock to send you. Next week.
every thing looks nice and good.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing how you landscape the outside area.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused about the bathroom. Is there one bathroom, or two? If only one, I'm sorry it's so small. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteHari om
Delete...or does Toby now have an ensuite den?! YAM xx
I'll post a picture soon. The second bathroom (Toby's ensuite) is one toilet wide and a sink long.
DeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing pics of the new digs. The kitchen area looks very nice. Toby has an en suite! Ha. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are getting closer to your new home. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, I like the peninsula with the sink, very well designed, you can chat to your "People". Or yourself.

Moving, be it around the corner or into another state, is never fun. Getting things ready - also not fun. Still -- eye on the prize and the prize (new home) is looking good.
ReplyDeleteAll those worktops! Your kitchen's twice the size of mine and those pumpernikel coloured doors are lovely.
