We decided that the view from The Hut needed a water feature:

Just kidding!  I’m on vacation in Oregon and the above is Crater Lake.  If you haven’t visited Crater Lake, you should put it on your travel list.  Incredible blue water, blue sky, great hiking and a lovely rustic lodge.  I also spent four days in Ashland at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  Another great place:  great theatre, dining, shopping, art, weather, wine touring, history—the list goes on!  One of my favorite spots for people watching!

Mark visited The Hut while I was away and took some pictures.  The actual view from The Hut is below.  The field has been recently cut and the hay is stacked in the hay shed.  The weather is "pay off" weather--our reward for all the gray days we have in the Puget Sound area!

 In the past 10 days the roof has gone on including the skylight, roof trim is stained and up, the wiring has been completed, the interior framed and most of the windows and the doors installed.  I think its insulation and drywall coming up.

This view faces the road.  The roof is dark green metal. 

Below is the skylight from the inside.

This is the side with the view of the field--missing a window on the right and the one above the French doors.

This view is looking at the back of the bathtub/ shower and the exterior door beyond. 

The view below is the same wall showing the closet on the left and the Kitchen Niche in the center. You can see the French doors on the right.

This view is of the southwest corner.  The bed will be to the right of the window on the right.  The larger window will have a desk beneath.

The exterior view of the wall with the bathroom and Kitchen Niche.

I’ll be visiting the site on August 20.  Stay tuned!
