POWER!!!!!!

Have you ever seen a meter that reads 00000? Actually, if you look carefully, the last pointer has started to turn. YEAH!

THE LIGHTS ARE ON!
As excited as we are, we have had a disappointing experience. We have paid thousands of dollars to bring the power to our lot, and two of our neighbors volunteered to help us with the cost, as they would be hooking up at our expense. They each set their own contribution and we gratefully accepted their offers. One has reneged and we have ended our relationship with her. It took a lot of thought and discussion, but the problems were ongoing, and we felt we were better off with no relationship than one fraught with unexpected pitfalls. There are always lessons to be learned at any age.



So, it looks like we could be moving in to our home NEXT WEEK! The schedule is, Thursday the county building inspector will give us final approval, Friday the contractor returns to finish the gas line and cooktop installation, Monday the house will be cleaned top to bottom by a professional crew, Tuesday we will clean the carpets, Wednesday we will begin assembling furniture, Thursday the dining room and living room furniture will be delivered, and some time during all this we will move all our belongings from the motorhomes and the 10x10 storage unit! Phew, I'm tired thinking of all this!



Stay tuned..........

Some Progress

Remember this?
Now it looks like this!

And this!!

The ugly rust color is gone and the color of the art niche now matches the contrast walls.

I still don't have my gas cooktop either.

Stay tuned! We're making progress, slowly!

Progress??????

Is this progress?? I hope so. Things are improving slowly. It is so hard to wait and I envy my friends working on houses where projects are already completed. A crew of four men arrived today and three men are inside doing TNT, or tape and texture. All cracks are supposed to be repaired and painted this weekend. It will make me feel so much better to see things going back together. For a while now, things had to get worse, to get better. You'll see what I mean. This is a picture of the dining room looking out the back doorwall.

This is the back hall...
...and these are the outlets at my kitchen sink.

This is the mess outside. The pole looking things are the axels used to transport it up here. Everything else ie related to either gas, electricity or sewer. You figure out what is what!

The are the tires from the axels and have been here for two weeks. I like order, not clutter.

This is a view of the backyard, again...out of order of course! That has been our life for the last two months! What else is new?

Stay tuned!
