It's been a long time since I have written, but for good reason. We have been working as much as we can, and real progress is being made. For the past few weeks, we have hung and finished drywall, primed, painted (who knew picking paint colors would be so stressful!), installed a powder room, cleaned woodwork, and worked outside. It is becoming more beautiful every day and we're more eager to move in all of the time. However, it's good that we are able to work on it without living there, because the dust is near and far throughout the entire house.
We have had so many people come and help with various projects, and we are grateful for their help. In fact, we're gearing up for a crew to come and help us tomorrow with some tasks, and I am excited to see what will be accomplished. As I write this, we are almost finished with the upstairs and will be moving our tools downstairs next week. In just over three weeks we have finished a laundry room, 2 bedrooms, a hallway, a stairway, a mudroom, and a powder room. That's pretty amazing. To everyone who has helped in any way: thank you. You are a huge blessing to us.

It's a family affair. |

New balcony floor. We will install the railing as soon as it's fixed. |
Wow - this place is a real charmer and your labor of love will turn it into a beauty that the prior owners would all be proud of! We were disappointed that you decided not to build near our red log cabin, but can see what drew you away. Best of luck in your new home! --Anita & Randy
