oh the views

part of our initial house building issue was where exactly to put the house. there was much debate about a)the actual site and b) the orientation of the house on said site. finally chris came round to my way of thinking and we put it in between two ponds and reversed the footprint so that the courtyard/pool was right by the main pond. thus the two ponds and a house. chris wanted to be farther away from the road, and while i agree on that note, the views from this particular site were too good to pass up. we will begin construction of one of those 50 foot walls like you see on the interstate after the house is done. but for now, we have some really good waterfront real estate.

this is looking into the courtyard area, where the magical pool will be one day. the front pond is just behind and to the left of me.
this is the view from the kitchen out through the living room, looking at the front pond.

view from the dining room, towards the back pond. i think the port o potty, dumpster and cell phone tower form a trifecta of ambiance.

so all of that being said, chris is, and i quote, "tickled pink" about the views. if you know chris, he doesn't get tinkled or pink very often. so it was really hard for me not to say "i told you so" but i held it in. and as i said earlier, the littlest building inspector has a birds eye view of BOTH ponds.
