... 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.

On a misty morning

First signs of automn.

Flowers ...

... on the dinner table. The curtains are hanging and the sofa has arrived as well.

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.

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.

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.

Light ...

... at the end of the tunnel.

Spots have been installed.

We also have a kitchen now.

And a pretty steep stairway.

Even a shower and a toilet.

It's really starting to look like a house to live in.

Winter Wonderland

The snow has gone and it started raining again.
Just trying to hold on to the real winter feeling for a short while.

It stopped freezing ...

... yet here's another winter landscape.

Click on the picture to zoom in.

Interior view

Partition walls have been constructed. Awaiting a layer of paint.

Corten steel in the snow

Next week the kitchen will be installed.
Meanwhile we're enjoying a few days of Canadian-like winter.
Hope our water conducts aren't frozen.

Vibrant colors

Thought I'd let you enjoy a fall color view.

Little progress to report - just a couple of small things, nothing worth mentioning really.
