You can
see our office nearing completion or
more recently.
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).
