Eh bien, tout a surement été dit, mais je dis:

SUPERBE! MAGNIFIQUE! LA BELLE VIE!
JE pense que vous êtes , toi et ton mari, deux BELLES personnes qui on travaillé ( argent mais aussi en étant de belles personnes) pour avoir cet endroit de rêve. Je suis très heureuse de votre bonheur. Ça vous va bien, et vous le méritez.
Une belle balade sur la rivière, après souper....avec plein de gens qui vous enverront la main du fond de leur cour...OU encore, tu enverras la mais à ceux qui passent...ah ah
Comme ils disent...On a la vie qu'on mérite. Ce qui me fait dire que vous êtes des BELLES personnes ( généreuses et aimant les gens et la vie...la vie vous le rend)

I am happy for you. Wonderful view of the lake. Please up date us on your sewing room. Hope your hubby has a riding lawn mower!

1 comment
michemb by michemb 23 Sep 2015

Thanks Katy,
Part one of the sewing room worked on yesterday, we had some water treatment equipement moved so as to make more space for my sewing room. It will be in the basement as ''Happy'' needs to be on solid ground. The vibrations are mot good for house structure so don't want it on the main floor and this way I get a lot more room. There are 3 windows down there and the electrican comes in next week so I will get lots of lighting added.
It will be spectacular and hopefully not take to long to complete.
BTY, hubby purchasedthe riding mower with the house

Well, first of all congratulations on your new home and the beautiful serene surroundings. I gather that it is you on the verandah in shot 1 - if it is you've got great legs! Also congrats to hubby on his first fire, he does looked pleased with himself.

What river are you on Michelle, it looks so calm?

Anyway I hope you have many years of happiness in your 'dream home'. May God bless you and keep you and watch over you both for the rest of your days. Love Chris

michemb by michemb 23 Sep 2015

Beautiful legs, that is because you are not seeming them up close lol. This is the Yamaska River and it is a slow running river where we will be able to canoe, kayak, small motor boating or just watch others do it all. I am not sure I will venture out other than in a small boat. We have a beautiful landing at the bottom of our lot to get on the river. We are high enough that flooding is never a problem so that is another plus. This is just everything we could ever have dreamed of and it is ours, God has spoiled us and we are soooooo grateful,

Are you in Canada? What a stunning house and view. Love the big verandah's on the front. I would have my machine on wheels so I could enjoy the view while working, I can just imagine how inspiring it would be for you as your creative flair always impresses me.
Hubby looks a Happy Chappie as well.

1 comment
michemb by michemb 23 Sep 2015

Yes we are near Montréal, Québec.
Machine on wheels could be more work than it is
worth but I will definetly be taking more breaks during the day which is a good thing.
Hubby is over the moon, he purchased a new chainsaw yesterday and is like a kid with a new toy. Can't believe he is becoming a lumberjack lol,

Good luck to you both, enjoy your new adventure in your dream home. Sandra.

The inside is pretty nice as well other than the kitchen which is the only downside of the new house. Before we purchased it though I had hubby agree that we would renovate it and this means than I get the kitchen of my dreams after I get the sewing room of my dreams. Can't get any better thn that,

We moved here from the city where we had a 5000 square foot lot and now we have 49000 sq, ft. so it is quite a change.
We are not on the side of the road, the house is located down a private little road about 400 ft. from the main road so it it very private. We are amazed at the tranquility we have here.

michemb by michemb 23 Sep 2015

yes and we are lucky because we see the river from almost every room in the house (except the kitchen and we will renovate that so we can). My sewing room will be in the basement and I am o.k. with that as I will have more room. With my ''Happy'' machine it is better for the structure of the house if it is on concrete.
