During its first winter the house had yet to be painted as this Feb. 1979 photo shows
We decided to use clear urethane on the wooden wall panels. Here is Barb on her step ladder in Feb. 1979
Fall photo with Mischa by the kitchen door, Oct. 20, 1979
I made a people pocket in the front yard that we used when Barb and I got married, July 11, 1981
First snow of winter, Nov. 1985
The driveway had to be shoveled by hand
The front yard provided a good sized play area and space for a garden
I also installed a jungle gym for the kids to use. Here Warren and family were visiting, 1988.
We installed insulated curtains to cover the south facing windows at night as shown in this Christmas 1989 photo
