New House - Week 3.5 - we have ceiling fans!

Okay, issues with blogger, so here's the rest of the pictures.

Jack has his construction hat on and cell phone in hand...

...ready to tackle our flooded basement!

 Yeah...apparently a window leaks, plus poor grading by that window well.  Luckily I hadn't move much furniture around down there yet, so nothing was really damaged. 
We do need to open up the walls to check for mold though.  I tore out the carpet padding (totally soaked), and there is evidence of previous flooding on the carpeting and wallpaper. 

 On the plus side, we had 2 electricians here today for over 5 hours.  We now have ceiling fans/lights in all 3 upstairs (non-master) bedrooms!  Yay!!!  I think this is my favorite completed project/update so far.  The ceiling fans really help, especially until we get new windows.  We also had them install a 2nd outdoor outlet, and do some electrical work in the garage.  Lots of things checked off the list today.  :)

New house - Week 3.5

We unloaded our 10x10 storage unit 2 weeks ago.

More boxes to sort and unpack!

Jack loves eating breakfast on the deck - me too!

3 car garage...hoping to put our cars inside before first snowfall.

Gorgeous clematis on our arbor

Boxes also make a nice playground  :)

 

New House - 1st week and a half

So we moved in to our new house 3 and a half weeks ago.  It has turned out to be a major project house, but we're (mostly) enjoying the process so far.  And we love the layout, yard, and neighborhood, so the rest is mostly cosmetic and fixable, even if it takes us years.  :)

(These pics are from the first week and a half.)

 

 Ernie had to ride in a Rubbermaid tub on the (10 minute) trip from old to new house.  We do have 3 cat carriers, but the biggest was in use by Momma Cat.  Jon was able to catch her, and we transported her to the new house.  Unfortunately, after just a few minutes under the new deck, she ran and was gone.  We really miss her, and I can only hope that she somehow stumbled upon another family willing to feed her.

 My first (and only so far) painting project - painting our closet's shelves with a crisp white.

 Jack loves the towel ring in our bathroom.

 Grammie and Poppy drove up to help us out with moving and house projects.  Jack had a blast with them!  :)

 He's still packing and unpacking these painting supplies - such a fun new game.  :)

Hanging out on the deck on July 4th.

We have an herb garden.  :)

Organized pantry

The living room/dining room in progress.  Doesn't everyone keep a stepladder in their living room?  :)
