So here we are again with some more photos of the progress at the retreat. I hope you enjoy watching the process as much as we do!! We are still battling cold temps here in northern Wisconsin. I have to hand it to the workers though, there’s no way I’d be out there working in Feb!

The walls are going up!

Above is what the lower level looks like. Once they enclose everything they will heat this area and then pour the concrete floor. That far end will be the craft room. We have three large windows and a French door so there will be lots of natural lighting! You will also be able to walk right out onto the patio area to take a break and enjoy the great northwoods views and wildlife. Unloading and loading all of your stuff will be easy too! Just back right up to the patio area and wheel your things into the craft room! You won’t have to haul everything up and down any stairs if you don’t want to!

View of the back of the retreat. This will be where the patio is. The craft room is on the far right of this picture.

This end will have a beautiful cedar deck added in spring. It will be right off of the greatroom. You will be able to come out and eat meals outside or just take a few minutes for yourself and relax. This will be the perfect place to watch some of the wildlife in the area and take a few pictures too! We have seen plenty of deer tracks all winter long and saw a doe earlier this winter. I just hope we can keep them from eating the landscaping!!

I’ve got many more pictures to share with you!

So check back later!
