Lolly requested more house photos, so here they are... Right now we are hurriedly trying to get the yard and winter garden squared away before it starts to get cold. After that, we'll scramble to get what we can done inside before the baby comes at the beginning of December and Joe's family arrives for Christmas/New Year's. So far we... tore out a water-damaged wall in the laundry, changed out the kitchen faucet and garbage disposal, layed sod in the front yard, planted 2 peach, a lemon, and an apricot (trees), (BTW, we had to rent a jack-hammer to dig the holes for our trees, that's how much work it was...) tore out a dead palm and several other stumps/dead plants, done some painting and put in a few light fixtures, got a new garage door - besides the regular unpacking/setting up/cleaning from the move. We've got a long way to go...

These stairs are nice and wide, I think about 5 feet. They are to your right as you walk in from the entry towards the back of the house where the kitchen is. My back is to the dining area taking this picture.
At the top of the stairs is a large landing area with cupboard space and here is the loft to your left - it is a really big room that for now is empty other than our weights and weight bench.
View from the back of the loft towards the top of the stairs.

This is the two-tiered landing at the top of the stairs.

To the right of where I was for the previous picture on the landing, you can look down into the entry/front room. There is a large plant shelf that you can access there.

From the top of the stairs to the right is the access to the other 3 bedrooms/bathroom.
Bedroom 1

Bedroom 2

Bedroom 3

When you follow the landing around the stairs, you get to the master bedroom...

...and bath. The jets work in that tub! The master has his and hers walk in closets. We can't even fill one with clothes at this point...

Our basement is accessed from the main floor, off the family room and near the 5th bedroom which now serves as an office.

This is our cold storage area off the basement - so excited to fill it as soon as we can build the shelves!
Here are some more recent pictures with our stuff in the house... ignore the mess...
