We think that it might be fun to follow the progress of our new home, the Canvasback Handiranch. This curious title was coined by daughters, Meghan and Meredith, to poke fun at our "no-step entry and wide doorways" - features that are common to senior living. The house is located on Canvasback Circle; and, o

counting down...








the backsplash over the stove and the sink was installed on Friday.  It still needs to be grouted, but we are pleased with the way it looks.

these ovens are going to be replaced, but you get the idea.


the stairs will get covered in the next couple of days, and the stair rail is in progress.  It will have a stainless steel cable about 4 inches apart running through the posts.  And, the floor will get the final finishing coat later this coming week.


The siding is complete, and the garage door goes in on Monday.

The view is wonderful and we are enjoying watching the ducks and the geese.  We will be able to enjoy this view from the 4 season room, the living room and the master bedroom.  What could be better?

The kitchen is coming along, but still needs a few things, like a refrigerator and an island top and doors.

There is still some wiring to be done, grouting on the walls, dishwasher installation, etc...it is fun to watch as each day passes.

The birds are singing, the sky is blue, the temperature is in the 50's and everyone is healthy.  How could we ask for more?

  1. I'm relieved you were able to triumph over the fire and net such a great kitchen (I love the backsplash)!

    I'm so excited for you both as you approach move-in!
