Another Step Closer...

Well, we're another step closer to getting the final inspection ok'd on House #1! The inspector came out today and went over the house with us. We ended up with a short punch list of things yet to do. I'm trying to keep pretty good track of all the issues that come up so that the next house will be easier.

But, the really good news is that the inspector is going to allow the homeowners to start moving in (as long as they don't sleep there!). I took some of the young girls from Manitoba up there this afternoon to close up all of the ditches. Three of them decided they wanted to climb up to the cross on the mountain behind the house. The other one didn't want to take any chances at perhaps even seeing a snake, so she stayed behind and actually helped Elsie move a few things into the house.

Forry took this really neat picture of the new moon last week -- it was just before true dark and you could see the shadow of the entire moon behind it.

These two pictures are of a spine of rock that has fascinated Forrest ever since we got here:

It is interesting to note that the hills that were so green a week or so ago are already beginning to turn brown.
