New Stuff - May 28, 2012

We've been busy working on the front yard.  It's nearly finished, we just need to do a little more weeding and then add the bark mulch.

In the meantime, we've also added a few new things to the house.

After a winter of wood fires, well actually a partial winter, we decided that we'd rather have the convenience of a gas fireplace.  So we had an insert installed.


Unlike the gas fireplace in our last house, this one has a fan, so it's a lot better at heating.  Our last one looked good but was really more for atmosphere.  And our new one will work if the power goes out, so it will be an effective backup heat system.

The other thing we added is a Solatube in the ceiling in the dining room.  After seeing the ones Andrew and Janine put in, we decided that it was a good idea.  It provides a lot of daylight to the kitchen and dining room.


As soon as the front yard is mulched I'll post photos of the front and back gardens.
