It's legit!







We have an official kitchen entry/stoop/overhang or whatever it should be called! The front entry and kitchen dutch doors have been ordered and should be delivered in the next few weeks.  We can't wait to have a real kitchen door again!  Right now we have a big piece of plywood that we slide back and forth to get in there so we can do our daily laundry and grab food from our big refrigerator.  

During these last few months construction work has been focused on the original side of the house.  This side of the house needed new framing and insulation. These are things that that our little 1930's cottage never had.  Now it is beginning to feel like a "legit" house, our new favorite word!  Originally, our cottage was built with single wall construction.  Our builders have now framed it from the outside to save interior square footage and it is now the process of being filled with insulation and sheathed in plywood.  
                                            


We are so excited for the walls to be finished and for the exterior stucco and siding to start.

We have now been living in our 300 sq ft studio for 8 months now, wow!
300 sq. ft is really feeling small these days.

We are more than ready to live in the "big" house as Finn calls it.  
We probably have 2-3 more months to go.






To cope, we have been spending a lot of time on the beach with friends.
We love having the beach as our "backyard"!
