Moved in!!!!

We aren't completely done with the upstairs of the house but it sure feels like we've came a long way in the last four months! We moved in two weeks ago and just got our countertops, kitchen sink and range last night! We've been cooking outside on the camp stove and it was so nice to have a regular, hot dinner! We still have all the trim work, kitchen back splash and paint touch-up's to do but it really feels like our home now. My mom and dad drove up here last weekend and "lighted up" our house! We also were able to spend a pre-birthday weekend with my dad! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

I can't fit it all in one picture......

fat, lazy kitty on the couch!

The cabinet next to the range has to be replaced, so we still are missing some countertop!

I'll send more pictures later.......we miss you all and hope everyone is doing well. Sending all our love............Russ and Julie

Almost Ready to move in

We hope to move into the new house sometime later this week. We finally have our carpet and wood floor in so it really feels like a home now. We are still 10 days out on out kitchen countertops and our range was cracked when it was delivered.....so we'll be eating a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a while! We should have a functioning shower tomorrow and hopefully we'll get to put the varnish on the wood floor by tomorrow night. We still have a lot to do to complete the house but right now we just want to be able to move in!

This is Russ' assistant Harriet......she brought over six pug puppies for us to play with. Russ wouldn't let me keep one!!

1am in the morning and handling a floor-nailer! Luckily we both made it home alive!

Russ sanding the wood floors....we were pretty nervous about this but it turned out great

Starting to install the kitchen cabinets

I'm proud of this light....we got it for $5.00!

More installed cabinets

We had one cabinet that came with a broken door.......cross your fingers for us that it doesn't take 6 weeks to get the replacement! I can't to see what our kitchen will look like when it is finished....so far we really like how it is turning out.
