Work has been progressing on the house, and during the Christmas season Greg and Mom came to visit and give some help in laying tile on the first floor and doing more work on the bathroom.
House 2
Mom came to visit and help with the work
We staged our work out of the kitchen
Our Christmas tree corner!
I chose this diagonal for the center of the hallway
The utility room was used to mix mortar
Mom in the living room by Greg’s bed and the tile
Christmas morning by the tree
Greg and I are showing off our toy trucks
I’m laying the border for the hall pattern
I’m in the hall with the “rug” pattern in place
Greg is helping document the hallway progress

We got some snow Christmas morning
The cabin’s outside on Christmas day
Friends had us over for Christmas dinner
Weston and I enjoying the meal
I had to plow snow at work on Boxing Day
Mom cutting the tile for the edge of the hallway
Mom had to use the wet saw outside
Greg and I are puzzling over his hangman book
Greg went skiing later Christmas week...
...while I grouted and cleaned the hall tile
My bed in the loft with an air-bed for mom behind
The soon-to-be master bath and loft area
This will be the office when the house is done
The loft and my staircase up to the bedroom
Bald eagles cover the trees at the dump
Mom and I saw a moose while doing some errands
I had to demo the snow machine for the family
Mom enjoyed going snow machining on the snow
The next day she showed Greg how to ride...
...and he bundled up and had fun riding
I help Greg get some things ready for the site
Visitors sometimes decorate the bare walls
The utility room also was finished and grouted
We later moved in the washer and dryer
The finished hallway “rug” design
A view from the bathroom down the hallway
The bathroom is almost finished but still usable
James, Greg and I enjoy one of the presents
We then cleared the kitchen and prepped the floor for tiling
