Movin' In!

Yes, you read that right, we are moving in the furniture...time to make a home out of this house!

Good News! We passed our Inspection!

We got our C/O today- the Certifiacte of Occupancy! We passed! We are legal! All the GFI's worked, the smoke detectors worked and he loved the porch. Now the power company can drag out their poles and their cool machines and chew up some plants to bring us power!

It's so exciting!

DOING THE HAPPY DANCE

IN NORTHWEST FLORIDA :)

Woowhoo, we got the porch done!

The east side porch enclosure finished. The west side is soon to follow.
We really like the enclosure, it adds to the stature of the house and gives us more living space. Once we get it screened in, the cats will be in heaven! I'm thinking of putting my studio on this end since it has wonderful morning light by the time I get my day started, which in case you don't know me very well, isn't until 10am. It takes me a bit to get around in the mornings.

Plants I gathered to make new starts already adorn the porch. We are thinking of of making flower boxes along the exterior of the porch with trailing plants and flowers and probably some herbs and a few veggies here and there. Personally I can already invision Moonflowers glowing brightly in the night.
It will look really nice once we get it screened. Next we will have to work on the underpinning of the house. We have a few ideas in mind, just haven't decided exactly what we will use. We are open to ideas if you want to throw a few our way. I'm considering sheet metal, individual slates to simulate louvers, solid panels, or rock.

Charla helped me out and painted the last of the posts.
Brian helped Sonny get ready to install the panels.
You can tell from the look he is about to say something sarcastic.
Our Comedy Club hard at work on the last of the porch on the east side.

Flowers

Purple passion plant I brought up from Orlando.
The 4'oclocks my seed I brought from my Orlando plants.


Two roses on the same bush show how this rose changes every day.





The last one is Lantana I got at 50% off from Lowes last summer which I keep making new plants from.
