... Westlakebridge construction now considered completed.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving (in Canada).

:-)

Green

Just green ... and glass and water.

End of summer

Quite a while since I've posted something.

Lateral view

... of the front garden.

Landscaping

We've started laying out the front garden.

If it doesn't start freezing again, works will continue this week.

By next weekend things should have moved forward quite a bit.

Season's greetings

Spent our first New Year's eve at Westlakebridge in excellent company.

Snow at sunset

... and expecting more snow to fall over the next 48 hours.

Corten in the snow

If (ever) Google streetview would pass by, this is what it would find.

Pines reflected

... and a view of our newly installed stairs.

Assorted colors

Mushrooms, ferns and Cor-ten steel

Yellow and rust

Beeches turned canary yellow.

Makes up for a nice backdrop for the Cor-ten walls.

Still waiting for the stairs to be delivered.

On a misty morning

First signs of automn.

After the rain

The driest summer in 27 years is over.

Had some 50mm of rain over the past 24h.

In between rainshowers, the sun broke through and created some pretty shadow bands.

Green

Another productive weekend.

Stripes

Hope to have the terrace finished this week and the curtains delivered before the end of the month.

Interior view 2

Finished painting. Finally. Thought we would never get there.

And of course we need to put another dining table and chairs.

Mirror

On a windless night, the water of the pond acts as a perfect mirror.

Wallpaper

Spent two entire weekends already covering the walls and painting.

More to go.

Upstairs

Just had a marmoleum flooring done on the mezzanine.

Cor-ten steel - one year later

The Cor-ten steel façade is just over one year old now. To see how the weathering has evolved, have a look at day 1 and day 23.

Meanwhile we're still waiting for the grass seed to germinate. Need some rain followed by a few warm days.
