4314. arkymalarky - 7/26/2008 6:20:49 PM I love the finish! 4315. judithathome - 7/26/2008 7:41:02 PM That table is gorgeous...you could always become a furniture designer and maker, 3i3b!! I absolutely LOVE your table! 4316. judithathome - 7/26/2008 7:43:10 PM Our porch isn't a show porch. We use it all the time. We'd feel cramped if we hadn't widened it.
I'm counting down the hours until I'm sitting on that porch, Arky!
We are SO looking forward to coming there and doing absolutly nothing...just getting away from here and all the hustle and bustle is going to be a godsend this year.
4317. arkymalarky - 7/26/2008 9:34:04 PM I'm so glad, because we've been looking forward to it, too! Especially since we didn't get to go to CO this year. We talk about it every day. 4318. judithathome - 7/27/2008 9:17:17 PM Keoni has decided not to bring his clubs so Bob will have to put up with him all day on the day he usually golfs...ha!
Getting so sick from the heat last year and missing half the party gave him pause, that's for sure.
I heard it was supposed to get to 107 today...feels like it already HAS. 4319. arkymalarky - 7/28/2008 12:15:17 AM The heat is very scary. Bob will be glad to have him around. And you asked if y'all could bring anything? RAIN! We are really getting desperate here. 4320. judithathome - 7/28/2008 4:41:59 AM Believe me, if WE had any we'd be more than thrilled to share it!
I'm just packing those dresses like I brought last year...they're the coolest pieces of clothing I own and I want to stay as cool as I can. I know they look like sacks but what the hell...all my other clothes are too big now, anyhow...as I was told today by at least three people.
That's nice to hear but distressing to actually have to deal with...ha! 4321. arkymalarky - 7/28/2008 9:06:40 PM Well, we may have to go shopping in Hot Springs!
4322. iiibbb - 7/30/2008 4:41:12 PM The lion was in the news Wiz. 4323. iiibbb - 7/30/2008 4:42:09 PM Well the link didn't work... but it was on the Today show... an interview with those guys today. 4324. arkymalarky - 7/31/2008 1:22:54 AM That was the coolest! 4325. jexster - 8/1/2008 10:52:16 PM Mine does this TOO!
Gets all wet, nasty
CAT SUCKS TAIL
4326. thoughtful - 8/3/2008 1:14:51 PM Give the poor cat a break! For cripes sake, it's not like he has a thumb or anything! 4327. thoughtful - 8/12/2008 9:04:44 PM Thoughtful house update. Framing is continuing...it's starting to look like a house now!
Two car garageon the left, first window is hubby's study...it will be a larger window with an arch top, though they haven't cut the arch yet. Next is front door then library and then bedroom. 4328. thoughtful - 8/12/2008 9:06:26 PM Latest shot shows they're adding the dog house dormers over the garage and the living area. These are actually just up in the attic space. Someone may choose to expand up there in the future, but it will be some other family...not us.
 4329. thoughtful - 8/12/2008 9:10:43 PM Rear of the house looks significantly larger, a result of building into the southern facing slope.
The little lady in blue on the left is the thoughtful mother. On the right, behind the garage will be a deck. Area underneath will be filled and a small retaining wall will be there so the ugly wall of concrete will disappear.
Solar panels will be on the upper left portion of the roof. 4330. thoughtful - 8/12/2008 9:12:55 PM This is the view from the guest room on the lower level. Architect has declared that that is his room and he's never leaving. I told him there will be a desk centered in the nook so he'll be able to have any future designs he makes inspired by nature.
 4331. thoughtful - 8/12/2008 9:17:33 PM The views from upstairs will be similar, though from a slightly higher aspect. Here is the window in the dining room. This too will be higher with an arch top, the arch not yet cut. Note too the beams above. This room will have a barrel vaulted ceiling that matches the line of the window arch. We'll have indirect lighting shining up and I hope to have the ceiling painted by hand to look like a sunset sky. I'll try it first and if I can't do it, I'll hire someone to do it for me.

This is the view from my bedroom window. It's in a nook (you can see the outside of it from the back view...left-most window) above which will be an arch and below I'll be placing a chaise which I'll probably never leave. Sigh.
I feel like a kid waiting for xmas...Hurry and finish the house already!
4333. thoughtful - 8/12/2008 9:23:52 PM The worst part of it is, I look out the window and say ahh what a view...hubby looks out the window and says, I need to do more mowing....those lower limbs need trimming....drives me nuts!
