Moving in slowly

We have started moving in.  The new furniture and appliances were delivered on Friday and Saturday.  The fridge we ordered was damaged somehow so we had to go to the store and pick out a different model. Good news is that we got an upgraded fridge for the same price as the original one we had picked out.  Also our two living room chairs were left out of the delivery on Friday.  The furniture store paid to have our mover bring them out on Saturday.  Most of the antiques, minus a dining room table top, are at Pelican Pointe too.  The table top is at the re-fiinishers because they need it to get a couple of leaves made for the table.

There is still some touch up painting that needs to be done.  But we are waiting until we have central heat for that.  Sask. Energy told me that they would be out the week of Sept. 27th.  They messed up and now we have to wait.  The house warmed up nicely this weekend with four electric heaters and the fireplace.

Robinson Residential designed a special nook for this chair.  The design of the house was based partly on the sizes of the furniture that I knew we wanted to move to the lake.

The living room with furniture in place.  Still need to get an area rug.

The dining room, with the table upside down and waiting for a table top.  The kitchen was too messy to take a picture of.  Will do that at a later date..

Looking from the loft across the great room.  Still need to get a long ladder to remove the Conquest sign.

Looking towards the road side entrance.

The great room with the doors closed that lead to the den and, to the right, the master suite.

Looking out the bedroom window.  This is the view we have, even lying in bed.  With the blinds open we can wake up every morning and see this view.  Of course, when the lake has boats on it in the summer or ice fishers in the winter, the blinds will be closed.

One of the great things about this design is that you can see the lake from every window in the house.  A lot of people who have come to see the house have commented on this fact.

Looking out the loft window towards the road.  You can still see the lake and we have lots of landscaping to do next year.  The yard is still a bit of a construction site.

Looking down at the great room from the loft.

We are hoping that Sask. Energy get out there soon.  The plumber is coming out on Wednesday to finish installing the dishwasher, laundry room and gas range.  He is also hooking up the water, so we will at least have cold running water this coming weekend.  Maybe hot water too, if we ever get natural gas hooked up at Pelican Pointe.
