You got it!!  Here's my chair in the new house!  I had been spending a lot of time in my chair in the old house to emphasize how much I enjoy it.  Well, we suddenly started spending the night in the new house and I simply was not comfortable, and became noticeably crabby.  The folks got the message and here I am!!  Doing the happy dance!!!

Grandma and Grandpa are cruising back east in their land-ship!  Before they left Grandpa helped Mom cut all the window sills!! One window is trimmed!! 

Rather than continue to heat two houses we decided to move the stove (in the bucket of the tractor) and start "camping" in the new house.  As far as the County goes, we don't live there yet, but have started moving things into cupboards!!!  Very exciting!

The shower panels in the master bath shower were installed.  Need to work on finding glass doors now.  The tub is in place--working on plumbing it.  The tub and heat pump are the last things to finish before we call for the plumbing inspection.

One of the french door windows shattered when it was hit by a rock while weed wacking.....

It had to go back to the manufacturer for replacement, and came back with half the finish sanded off.  We spent some time staining and varnishing again!!!

 Then we discovered that the fricken chickens have been pecking the exposed styrofoam on the garage footer, so we had to take time out to bring in more rock to cover it.

 Grandpa helped us create this banister for the basement!!  We made this one out of wood we had around too!  Hope it passes inspection!

 Dad has been covering the ICF styrofoam in the mechanical room with plywood.  Then he'll be able to mount things like the water filter system.

Grandpa and Mom built a 2x6 16" OC, 3/4" plywood deck for the exterior cellar entrance.  It's covered with plastic to keep the weather out.  It's all screwed together so that it can be taken apart and the wood reused when we get ready to put the actual cellar entrance on.

 We have a doe, buck, and young buck stopping by every evening to eat the fallen pears.  They're doing such a great job that we don't have to bend over to pick up pears.  Me and Osker don't think it's fair that the chickens can hang with the deer and we're not allowed.

 Grandma and Grandpa are visiting!  Grandpa helped Mom put up a banister on the stairs.  One more thing to check off on the list!! 

We didn't quite pass the electrical inspection but the things that need to be fixed are easy, like adding a few more GFCIs.

Dad has the hot water hooked up; faucets are going in including this funky one for the kitchen sink.  It extends to each end of the sink, but fully extended straight out it would pour water on the floor, hmmm......

Osker will "hop in the tub"!!  He sold out for treats.  I'm holding out.
