We also have pictures from talented-teen party on 5/24/01.

Outside views

Behind the propane tank is where the shower is being built. The airconditioner waters the watermellon plants.


We usually have breakfast in the swing looking out at the view.

Inside

We tour going left after we come in the door and then around clockwise. If you look through the center of the kitchen window you can see the swing seen above (especially if you click on the window).

Kitchen


Our first island and sunset over island

Bathroom (hidden closet on left)


Study

Photoalblums, CDs, and Video tapes are on the rack above the desk and to the left (brought more back from storage since this picture was taken).

At the center top of the two bookshelves there is a printout of the main house plans - can't really make them out in the picture.

Bedroom

We have an air-mattress. To change the sheets we just flip it up on its side - we don't have to reach for the back corners. We usually watch TV from bed.

Game Room / Music Room and storage space

In the picture below the Sony Playstation and VCR can be seen on the left. However, the TV is too far left to show. We have 3 cool folding chairs under the bed, and the study chair, for when other people come over.

Samantha can make beautiful music on the Steel Pans. The room under the pans is used to store boxes of drinks and dirty laundry.

We frequently tie the sheet hanging down by the steel pans to the one hanging between the dresser and the bookshelves to cut the room in two so the air conditioner just has to cool the half with the bed.

Gazibo


We have a 1000 gallon water tank West of the Gazibo (by the door to the Gazibo Office). It is about 40 feet higher than our house and when full gives us about 20 PSI without any pump. If you look close at the center bottom of the zoomed picture of the sink above you can see a pressure gauge. The gauge goes from 0 to 30 PSI, with 1/2 PSI marks. When our tank is empty it should read about 17 PSI and when full about 20 PSI. Each 1/2 PSI mark is 1.15 feet in the tank. We can actually read between the marks and tell to within about 6 inches how full the tank is.

The back tires of the mustang are just at the end of the concrete road. The broken rocks are around where the main house foundation will be.

Gazibo office / CompUSA

This is an 11 foot by 11 foot room I can use as an office or server room. There is a single window with a view to the North (that is Milly's Inn on the right).
