We are slowly moving forward. Our improvements are a bunch of little things that aren’t usually exciting to write about. It’s the things that need doing but are a little boring to do. Everyone understands; it’s the maintenance of a house. We put up plexiglass on the windows to protect the stain glass. We fixed a bunch of leaks, caulking around the stovepipe and putting in a bit of a new roof at the back. We’ve tested the furnace. We fixed some drywall.
We found the old linoleum in the front entrance:
Isn’t that a fun, crazy pattern? We ended up removing it. What era do you think it’s from?
I suppose the most exciting thing is that we purchased a bathroom! Yes, it’s still outside BUT it is heated 🙂 It’s a step up from the outhouse that is out back. We bought it locally from a business in Harriston, Neilman Enterprises. If you need to buy a mobile washroom, this is better than a port-a-potty and they’re pretty affordable.
As I said before, the washroom is heated! Everything has to be manually pumped (sink and toilet) to get water but it’s running water, too! Check them out and support local.

So those are a few of the little but necessary things we’re been doing as the cold weather starts to creep up on us. We’ll be working hard through the winter months to get ready. Spring will be here soon and so will our official opening.
