We're cooking with gas...

Today Kevin, the propane guy, installed the "black iron" propane system for our cooking stove, our tankless hot water heater and our (maybe) propane backup heater. We'll be ready for winter with passive solar, our Tempwood wood stove, our electric space heaters and now propane. Here's the propane regulator for our system mounted below the hot water heater on the back of the house:We continued to work on putting up the tin ceiling... here's the office (lacking one more 10" strip)... that's the pull-down stairway to our guest loft... "so no one will over stay their welcome." We have to put the mattress up through the remaining "un-ceilinged" trusses tomorrow or it won't fit up the stairs... it's like building a house around a mattress:Here's the utility room (also lacking a 10" strip):And... here are our three boys ready for bed:

Boone in his house:Mosby in his beloved basket yawning:...and Baxter checking his eyelids for holes:Hopefully Aaron can give me ONE MORE DAY before he leaves for Louisiana so we can finish the ceiling tomorrow.
