New Home - Life Under Construction

PLEASE EXCUSE THE CONSTRUCTION

After months of searching, several failed bids, several backup bid competitions, much pestering and determination, we finally landed the home of our dreams. Well, it will be the home of our dreams in about 10 years ... after we finish all the necessary upgrades. 

So ... just in time for us to become empty nest'ers. 

There's logic in that right?

We moved in last week and through Stark's hard work we continue to achieve a new fabulous milestone each evening.

• Monday night = refrigerated moved in, plugged in, working!
• Tuesday night = Microwave!!!
• Wednesday nigh = Kitchen Sink is plumbed and working
• Thursday night = Washer & Dry are plumbed, wired, and working. 
• Friday night = I'm guessing we'll be folding laundry. 

Now that we're functional but not quite settled in, we begin the hard work of cleaning up, fixing up, and listing our old home. So, we're still busy but the end is in sight. 

I'll post more on the home projects later but to give you a quick snapshot ...

Currently our life is dusty. 

Very, very dusty. 

Some day I will have grass again and the kids won't need to be hosed off. 

Literally ... we have them strip and hose off on the back deck. 

Huck calls it the 'car wash'. 

Cute kid.
