We're in!  We're a mess, but we are in!  Saturday was the big move.  Hubby and I loaded most of the house Friday night and then some friends came and helped us out Saturday morning.  The kids were very excited about the big truck!

Starting out!

The end!

Yes, he was on the ramp pretty much the ENTIRE time!  Good thing we decided to get the 26 footer cause we never would have made it in the 17 footer.

Ugh...the fun begins, or continues.

Hubby told me to get busy and I told him to go fly a kite, so...

Haha!  We decided to take Sunday afternoon off and have some fun with the kids.  Logan loved the kite flying!  Jenna was not very impressed and played on the toys instead.  Sunday night and Monday it was back to work and by very late Monday night or very early Tuesday morning here's what we were looking like...

Ahhh...much better!

We decided to make the eating area a play area for the kids, so here is their setup.

The pantry.

Today I cleaned one of the bathrooms, cleaned and organized the wet bar closet, and put the guest room together.  You only get pictures of the guest room since the others really are not that exciting.

Who's going to be the first to test it out?!

Did I mention that our dishwasher has quit working?  We are putting off having someone come look at it in hopes that it will change it's mind and resume it's duties.  Until then I have a replacement...

Yeah!!  The carpet is in...no more concrete floor!  It took about 6 hours for two men to install all the carpet.  The kids and I spent the day in the kitchen and dining room unpacking boxes and washing dishes.  We also tested out the new washer and dryer.  I am not sure who was more excited to watch the water shoot out and the clothes spin around, me or the kids.  Since the men were working in the back part of the house there were no naps...so life was interesting this evening.  Oh well, what can you do...the carpet is nice.  I took pictures of the whole process in the family room, but not the back rooms.

That is a huge roll of carpet!

Carpet pad all laid out.

Done!

Again, I am not sure who was more excited, the kids or me!

Yep, they like the carpet!

Master Closet

How will we ever fill all that space?!

Oh, haha!  That was easy!

One more day of packing and then the move Saturday!





Well, I am back to just me and my three "helpers".  I think the production week was a success!  Here are some pictures of the baseboards up and painted...

Washer and Dryer ready to go!  Yes, we are using Bounce as a door stop...hey, whatever works!

We are hoping to have the carpet installed on Thursday.  We also put some stuff in the master retreat...

This is not the final layout! 

My favorite project completed is the master closet...well it is not completed yet.  I still have to paint the shelves.  So remember that lovely panelling?

Which was then removed.

And now...are you ready?!



Beadboard wall paper...I am in love!  Okay, so you can't see it that great in this picture.  The lighting is terrible in the house at the moment.  How about these?

I am already planning where I can use it next!

We called in the reinforcements!  Mom, Dad, Jason, Donna, and their kids are here for the long weekend.  Remember my welcome mat warning?  I was not kidding...

We removed all the remaining carpet and made a trip to the dump.

We painted Jenna's room...pink.  She loves it (and so do I)!

Here are a few pictures of the grouted tile.  We plan to seal it tomorrow and then put the washer and dryer into the laundry room. 

Here are a few other random projects hubby and his brother completed:

New toilet in the half bath.

New disposal.

New water main line shut-off valve.

The family will be here for two more full days...what else can we get done??  =)
