You just have to love the challenge of it all!
This is our lovely little house. It is the perfect fit for Bill and I. We are very content here.
When the power works it is great. However, the power is off more then it is on, so that creates its own challenge at times. We just have to readjust our thinking. There is a solar hot water heater on the roof that works great. Water is collected off the roof into large water tanks (in the left corner of photo) and is then pumped into the house. The only problem is, when there is no power, then there is no working pump which equals no running water or hot showers in the house. When that happens we just collect our water in a bucket outside from this water tank and haul it into the house. At least the source is close.
While Sandia mountain will always hold a special place in our hearts, we do enjoy this view from our front porch.
This is our fearsome watchdog, Sheba. (Just kidding) Actually she is a lovable old teddy bear of a dog. We inherited her from some old missionary friends of ours who have returned home. She and I have quickly become buddies.
Now for a quick look inside. This is for all you who wondered what I had in all those trunks. Fabric, fabric, and more fabric. Plus a rug or two thrown in for good measure. (smile)
This is the kitchen. I just stenciled the "brick" wall this week as I thought the room was too white. The entire house will get a paint job as soon as we get the paint ordered.
The tiny but adequate bathroom.
And last but not least, the bedroom. Hope you enjoyed the tour.
