Mini Addition detour..

pantry |ˈpantrē|
noun ( pl. pantries )
a small room or closet in which food, dishes, and utensils are kept.

ORIGIN Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French panterie, from paneter ‘baker,’ based on late Latin panarius ‘bread seller,’ from Latin panis ‘bread.’

Gotta have one- especially because food storage is part of the cheaper living plan. It has been a pretty unsustainable habit to drive 15 miles one way to get food every few days. Once the Brewery opened, that small 8 minute drive has been quite the luxury, and if only beer really was worth a half sandwich...

So, in short, I poured a slab (by hand), which, for the record was worse than I remembered~ figured 9 full wheelbarrow loads, over 300 shovels of either cement, sand or gravel...just harder than I seem to recall in the 90's(wink)
And today I boxed up the small addition on the West side of the house- the Pantry. tada.


Harlan came out for a day and helped with the loft- T&G and a meticulous measuring mind and the loft looks great. Thanks!

  1. WOW, that looks great, a food storage, you did not forget ventilation?
    Now you do have space for a lot of things, and if you miss something
    somewhere, look in the new storage first! :-) ♥ Good luck!

  2. I'm seeing a mini glass greenhouse off the southside of that pantry someday...it'll let warm air in that window too!!
