Woodstone Prairie

We’re having very weird weather here today…

 When I woke up the wind was blowing a gale and by the time I got back inside from feeding the goats, it was snowing… tiny hard little flakes, driven so hard by the wind that you could almost hear them hitting the north side of the house.

Then it stopped…. No snow, no wind.

Now we are having snow showers. It snows, sometimes heavily… beautiful, big, fat flakes drifting down… and then it suddenly just stops. And then it snows, and then it stops.

It goes from this:

to this:

…in a matter of seconds.

It’s like there’s an on/off switch up in the sky for the snow, and someone keeps turning it off and on.

In other news (or what passes for news out here…), Dh is making good progress in the bathroom remodel. This was the project he was going to work on while we were visiting my sister last month. We didn’t get to go, but he started the project anyway… and it’s almost done!

None of our bathrooms had been updated since the 70’s when the house was built. I was getting extremely tired of the 70’s linoleum (which was starting to peel) the 70’s style swag lights and the old (falling apart) vanities. I don’t have a good “before” picture of the bathroom we’re working on, just the picture we took just before we moved in.

It really doesn’t look too bad here… They had a rug over the peeling  linoleum and you can’t see that the toilet is superglued together (really!).

Here’s what it looked like after Dh gutted it, put the new floor down and was just starting to install the new vanity.

I like this picture because you can see the lovely swag lights… Anybody want a nice “retro” light? I have one to give away!!

The vanity, toilet and storage cupboard are in. The new light fixture is up too… you just can’t see it in this picture.  The only big things left to install are the mirror and the shower doors.

It’s very close to being done now. I’m still waiting for DH to install the shower doors, and I need to get a rug for the floor.   But, unless you want to take a shower, it’s usable!

Here’s from a different angle… I really like how it turned out! (The machine on the storage cupboard is what I use to check M’s blood pressure and pulse.)

What do you think?
