swamp no more and other stuff

We brought in the big guys this week. A local guy came in with his big equipment and brought some fill. We filled in an artificial swamp that was created years ago when they made the road. The swampiness caused all the trees to die off and left us with a major fire hazard. So, swamp no more.

Also accomplished this week was the last of the hardwood floors and the bathroom. All finished and all fixed. We didn't turn on the water to the bathroom as we'd just have to turn around and drain it right away, but it is ready to go for next spring.

Lastly, we did some small projects, just to fill in some time. We got a great little door knocker in Portugal and I've been dying to get it put on the door. Check out the pic.
