Tasty Interview

Yesterday evening we had a great visit from new friends Brittanie, a journalist from the Houston Press, and her hubby Chris, a marine engineer.

Got to feed them some delicious home-grown chicken we had butchered the day before, and they treated us to some wonderful Real Ale from the Hill Country.

They also interviewed fellow off-gridders John Wells and Jess from Shady80.

Always fun to talk with friends and show off the homestead.

Bathroom is moving along, little by little. But we have tile and mortar for the walls ready to go up, and permanent plumbing about to be installed.  That and some paint, and she'll be ready for a photo shoot soon enough.

Bathroom door is still waiting in the wings, but in the hot weather it's nice to have just a light curtain that lets the air flow past.

But with new Ikea additions in the kitchen, the revamped bed area with a larger mosquito net, a mirror mosaic, and other upgrades ... the interior of the house is getting more photogenic every day.  

Someday soon we'll have to begin prepping the house exterior for stucco.  The hard candy coating will be a huge upgrade, but first we have to cover the house with asphalt felt and stucco lath.

So much to do, and not enough days in the week.
