We have electricity and a moving date.

 The exterior is finished.  This is the road side.  Still need the local contractor to put in the deck and stairs on this side.  We are still using that ramp that Herman and I built.

 The detail above the road side door.

We went out to meet with the builder on Friday and found out that Sask. Power had installed the lines and we have electricity.  When I spoke with Sask. Power today the fellow told me I was not supposed to have power.  But we do and I signed off the paperwork.  No gas or phone yet.  But at least we can run portable heaters in the house and have lights, now that the sun is going down at suppertime.

When Conquest came out this week they noticed that the veranda had a bit of a sag between the installed teleposts.  They propped it up for now and we'll get some more piles and teleposts installed in the spring.  

The mover is lined up for Friday this week.  We are starting with moving out the new furniture, appliances and beds first.  Then we will bring out "The Beast" and unload all the stuff we packed up from the pink palace that we wish to keep.  Not much of the old furniture, but there are a few things.

Lake side.  The details and trim are very nicely designed on this house.  Too bad we don't have any of the boats in the water this summer.  We will take some pictures this winter from the lake and some next summer from a boat.  But no pictures from the Flying Dutchman!
