Vote results!
First of all I am flattered by the hand full of you who emailed about my lack of a blog post yesterday. Yes it is because we are swamped. We have to be out of here in a few weeks with all that that involves but are still finishing up details on the house. Many small glitches that either Colin or myself have to deal with. It is just easier to call the supplier and check on CSA approval etc., do the leg work, make the calls then to rely on someone else. Much quicker in the long run. Today we hope to be able to sign off on the house plan and specs, pay a deposit and move on to things like flooring, lighting, paint colors and be able to pack a box or two. I also will be renting two storage sheds here at Holiday Park so we can cart some stuff out of here.
Colin’s ear ringing is returning, mainly because he hasn’t had time to do the Egoscue Exercises. Proof that this program does work. He is doing them as I type.
66% of the votes were for the Ivy Green while 39% of the votes were for the Colonial Red. Most comments were in relation to blending into nature. I appreciated all your comments and it did make us think about our choice. Despite the majority vote for the Ivy Green we are going with the Colonial Red.
The Colonial Red combined with the Desert Sand trim is lovely and somewhat Mexican. We plan to have a tiny Mexican style courtyard as you walk into our yard. A few years ago we created a Terra Cotta coloured patio at the beach site and we will continue that theme in the courtyard using some existing coloured patio blocks and stamped concrete.
The lake front side of the house will be floor to ceiling windows so we will be a part of nature. The yard itself will be totally private and the only thing someone walking past will see is the house and our cedar hedge.
Things are coming together bit by bit and we know we will love the final result. Yes we live in an RV Resort but this home will be like no other. When we got married we moved into a brand new 1070 sq. ft. condo, from there to a 5600 sq. ft. home, to a brand new 3600 sq. ft. townhouse, to this 968 sq.ft. ( the maximum size allowed ) park home designed by us and soon to our new 968 sq. ft. home on the lake which will look totally different on the inside as it will on the outside. This home plus our home on wheels is all we need, allowing us to work in a great environment and to travel where ever we chose.
The beach site!

Life is good!

Its all coming together pretty good for you guys, have fun.
beautiful place!
Nice photos. Now I have a much better picture of your northern life. Where will the motorhome go when you build the house on the beach site?
Longdog2….we will live in the RV on the beach site until the modular house is delivered end of July, then we will move around the corner and rent a site for 3 months still living in the RV. Likely the house will be ready mid Sept for us to move into but we will still stay in the RV as we will be leaving mid Oct for Mazatlan, no sense moving in permanently. We might have a sleep over or two 🙂
It sounds awesome!
