The outside was almost done: 'This has all been power washed, so pretty soon I'll be able to get my rocking chair out there." Inside, work continued: "All my plants have moved in," she joked. 'The kitchen is almost done. Countertops have been ordered and this is my makeshift countertop for){kind=link}
