BOOMPA, BABA & ALISON: Best Friends

I am back.
My best friend Coy Ivey purchased an acerage near Tinkiller Lake. In fact he is only about 2 miles from the lake. He built a big metal barn and then built his house inside the barn. The house is really beautiful in the inside. Only thing I would do different would to put more windows in. He said he wanted a few windows so it would not take so much to heat and cool the home.

A wonderful place. This is the road cominig to his house. A good gravel road. What a view.

Beside the house he has thinned the trees and made a great forest. Walking around the trees is really cool.

He has a fire pit that he can burn the wood that he gathers from the trees and construction around the place. Cook hotdogs and marshmellows.

He took two stock tanks and filled them with soil and planted plants in them.

The two flower beds are by the Fire Pit.

He has a hammock and some chairs for every one to sit around the fire pit.

The front of the house is neat. There is a balcony on the second floor that comes out of the Master Bedroom. The house is over 2,000 square feet. Probably more. It is huge.

Isn't this pretty. The bottom floors are concrete that was stained and cut. In the picture above you can see the outside stain in diamond shapes. It gives me a good idea when we build.

Coy has more toys than anyone I know. He has three trailers that I saw. Everyone needs a trailer if they are going to build homes and live on an acerage.

Toys, toys, toys. He has boats, go carts, four wheel cycles, a four wheel small carryall. I will try to get more pictures of the toy later. n

The back of the house. It has a huge garage door. Two satilite dishes, one for internet and one for television.

Toy Tracter. It has a big back hoe and he also has all the equipment attachments to go with it.

The front of the garage had doors for very large three car garage. He could drive a big tractor trailer inside the garage. It is the largest garage for a home I have ever seen.
