Camping in style

A significant first: we spent two days & nights at the house during our July visit. We bought a 50-meter garden hose and a 50-meter extension cord and connected them to the contractors' outlets. First thing in the morning the garden-hose shower was invigorating (temperatures were exceptionally cool at that time, too). But Nancy's cooking, on our brand new one-burner hotplate and in our old toaster oven, more than made up for it. We even had a kettle for morning coffee.

More to come from this latest visit ... this weekend.
