We are home It froze over-night in Bend. Icy cold. I did not want to get out of bed. But it was sunny and DT lured me with the promise of coffee and pastry. Raisin Cinnamon Roll. I really can be mean After saying goodbye for a few weeks to my folks, we hit the road Highway 22 back to Portland My brother, Rick, did all the rock work and pine railings in the building.
Sisters Coffee Company in Sisters, Oregon. Second stop was to my brother's house. He and his lovely wife, Ali were away fishing, but he still wanted us to stop by to see the exterior renovations on their house. Above is a photo of my brother's house taken in He built the house himself, beginning in The entire house is heated with a wood stove.
The property also has a small guest cabin, a workshop, hot tub, wood shed, and a fully-fenced vegetable and vine berry garden. This little piece of paradise is just a few miles from downtown Sisters, Oregon and is bordered by US Forest Service land. Wow, could I write real estate sales ads, or what? Here is a photo of the house after Rick did a little "home improvement" this summer:. Rick really raised the roof, eh?
The shake roof was removed, a large over-hang was added and a metal "snow roof" was set in place. The entire house is now wrapped with a stone paver porch and the front portion is covered, creating an "outdoor living room". At this time, my brother is working on the river rock work on the patio areas. The new front porch spans the entire length of the house and is paved.
They also put a small woodstove outside. Front rock work - my brother did the work hisownself with rock from the Santiam River. OOPS - not quite finished, Rick. Get to work! We continued on towards Portland. We enjoyed a beautiful drive with the vine maples turning brilliant gold and rust!
