The roof has taken forever because it was laborious for Lee to work on with "old" knees. If any of you have ever done roofing you understand. My cousin, Charlie and the missionaries have helped so much and we will be forever grateful for that.
The big windows are beautiful and the house has caused quite a stir here in my little hometown of Buna, Texas because it is so different than anything for many miles around. Most people like it but I think a lot of people are awaiting judgment until it is finish.
Interesting story on the fireplace. Lee found it at a junk yard. It is an antique "heatilator" type. He bought it, brought it home, cleaned it up, installed it and is going to install a blower that will blow the heat into the room. He thinks it will heat our entire house. (You know, Texas doesn't get a lot of cold weather--Yes!!!!) We love the look of it.
