Roxborough



Projects, projects, work, work...

Been so busy making the house livable, while trying to acclimate to my remote job that it's been very busy here at Backcoutnry Lane.

The good news is we are making some real progress on the house, it almost feels like we have moved in. I have installed 5 ceiling fans, routed a cable through a wall and created jack, hung dozens of pictures and stuff, built 2 kid's bedroom sets, wired the whole house for music and Internet, set-up a TiVo in the master, applied frosted window tint in the shower, built the kitchen table and chairs, hooked-up rope lighting above the kitchen, built some garage storage, am half-way done with a special storage project in Andy's room, and about a hundred other small projects.

That doesn't even count the basic moving stuff around and unpacking.

Whew, I am sore a lot.

So we got a chance to break-away from the house and take a short field trip to Roxborough State Park. It's very close, about 15 minutes, and totally stunning. I now have been officially bitten by the Colorado State Park bug, and plan to visit every one of them.

We also got our for our first Krispe Kreme in Colorado the other am. We walked in through 2 sets of double doors, and Katie asked why they have 2 set of doors... I said, 'when it snows, you need that extra set of door to keep it warm inside' -- man, we have no idea what we are in for here, but it sure has been an adventure so far.

Thanks, Steve...I learned something this morning...I had no idea about the double doors. Makes sense. Glad to see you guys are settling in and the house is becoming more your "own". Post photos ASAP!

Roxborough is such a cool place. It's never crowded and if you ever get a hankering to see some deer, that is the place to go. There's a six mile (roundtrip) hike to a peak right above the park. It's pretty cool to look down on all those rocks...not to mention the entire metro Denver area. Way to get out and explore! The fun has only just begun!
