Finally! Tiny House is at Shadow Lake

What a stressful event! Ranking right up there with childbirth, and my first week at Harborview. First the tires were flat. We solved that by pumping them up with a bicycle tire. Then, the wheels scraped the trailer floor, Alex cut the holes bigger after I tore my wheel well covers apart.

The house listed slightly to the starboard side the whole way. Anyways, it is done. And now parked, cattywompous at Shadow Lake. I will have to fine tune next time I'm out there. By the time we even got to the lake it was already dark, and we didn't get home until midnight. Here are a couple of photos.

 I put shutters on for security at the lake.

 The metal is an awning shutter over the door. It hinges up.

 Thank you Alex!!!!

More from the UK

We're having a great time - enjoying the sights and eating well. Had an excellent dinner last night at our Wales hotel.  Ben had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, preceded by shrimp and followed by chocolate torte.   Finally, we were able to sleep this morning until everyone woke up by themselves before 7:30 am.

The Desert Tortoise and the Rattlesnake

Liam and I played at his piano recital on Friday. It went quite well. I composed the clarinet accompaniment to go along with his "Dig Those Turtles." Liam explains the story line to the audience at the beginning of the video. It comes something like this:  the desert tortoise digs a hole to escape the hot sun of the desert, and many creatures come to share his burrow and escape the cold of night, and heat of day. In this piece Liam is the tortoise, and the clarinet is the rattlesnake.
