The palace facing north. Caulking the holes in the roof

Me and the dogs looking north

Palley Palace from the outside

Looking at the palace from the south into the window and the door on the north.

palley palace from inside

This is looking from the north to the window on the south of the palley palace. It was growing rather dark and so we were trying to finish as quickly as possible.

Final pictures of the hydrant and bottom of the area before we fill it in with dirt. We should soon be able to drink the water.

This picture shows the depth of our hydrant. It's 5'6" and so we're hoping that we will not have any problems with frost and freezing.

This picture shows our faucet next to the actual well. You can also see the wires wraped around the well top. We need to go get the controller which will hook up to these wires and THEN we should be drinking cool clear water.

This little dude is a water outlet that will allow the water to exit the hydrant when the pump is not pumping. This will stop any freezing problems.

Some of our beautiful wild flowers

Beautiful cactus blossom

Our middle grandson loves these beautiful purple flowers. I found a bouquet that he had picked a couple weekends ago and thought I would put this picture on here so he could see them anytime he wants.

Leaving

Look at the storm clouds in the back. Time to head for higher land. We went through quite a storm to get home. This has been quite a wet spring.

Entrance to "No Man's Land"

This is our son holding up the entrance to No Man's Land. Thank goodness he is so strong....and all this while sporting a hurt back. Hercules Hercules Hercules.

Corner Posts of fence

This is looking at the North West corner of our property. We have the posts in the southwest corner and also the northeast corner. One more corner to go.

The half door hole of the palley palace.

Now we just need to put another layer of pallets up and we can begin with the door and window and roof.

The walls of the palley palace are going up.

Brad and the boys. We couldn't do it without their help. They really are good helpers.

Palley Palace Floor
