Newly Acquired Woodstock House Coming Along

[foggymountain]

I have converted the dining room into a pipe room. There will be shelves full of pipe racks and shelves full of tobacco cans. One wall of each. The color is a deep green. The room will have several each of my paintings and sculptures, a 50" TV, a super soft and luxurious leather chair and a desk with computer. It may not be finished for a while, but will post pictures when it is. There is a door and lock to separate it from the rest of the house. It has a ceiling fan with a beautiful stained glass light, and even has it's own toilet. Nobody is allowed in the pipe room except my wife and my friends.

I must say that country living, something I have not done for 50 years, is sure relaxing. You don't realize how the city stresses you until you leave it for a while. What a joy to have a quiet backyard.

I don't have internet up there yet so I will be out of touch for a few days.

Foggy, is that small German(?) bakery still open in Bearsville?

Foggy you will love the stress free country, I don"t leave my farm, I"m lucky I have a wife that likes to shop, even buys my clothes, I stay on the farm, life is good, Foggy you deserve it.

Foggy, it sounds like you are adjusting rather easily to county living. Congrats on this new adventure.

That lifestyle sounds great. Have good times in the man room.

Thanks Bradley, Roth and Trailspike. Boudreaux: Bearsville is the next town and I have yet to get over there. No more driver's license and no car, so who knows, I may never get there. Too bad, heard they have a great bar.

I'm about the same way Bradley! Don't go to town unless I just have to! Luckily my wife takes care of all my deliveries to the PO and buys various supplies that I don't buy on line.

Foggy,sounds like you will have a great pipe room !

I'm heading up your way tomorrow Foggy, are you at the Woodstock house?

That sounds wonderful Foggy. Congrats on the conversion of your pipe room. I can't wait to see pictures.
My wife and I are making the move back to the country by degrees. After 20 years in the city, we're now in suburbia, but with longing looks ever scanning the bush for the right place.
Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Foggy on your country home. Enjoy that comfy leather chair. I left the Big Apple over forty years ago, and I don't miss it at all.

Glad you're enjoying the renovations - a pipe room - what a luxery!
I've never understood why anyone lives in the city, you're right, it's a stressful place. The only time I leave our place is to go to work. Be sure to take pictures and keep us updated!

That's a beautiful part of New York. Enjoy your new digs. Winters can be a bit harsh but there are the other 3 seasons that make up for it.

Papi: I expect to spend the cold months in NYC, in my overheated apartment.
