Sleeping in!

I've neglected this blog!  I've been too busy building a house, right?
Our master bedroom was completed and we spent our first official night here October 21, 2018.



 Using cedar fencing that we have been obtaining in Houston from a fellow that puts up fencing across the city, our walls were "free".

  The metal in our ceiling of the bedroom was also gifted to us by our old neighbor.  He replaced his roof and had no use for the "rusty old metal sheets".  


Good news for us!  Light fixtures were located at Lowe's on the clearance rack- just needed to change the color a little.   Some spray paint and we were good to go!

Semi completed product!!  We LOVE it here!!

This is my favorite place to sleep in!
