One Job Done

Finally got the seat covers for the dining room chairs done.  I had to do 4 chairs in the striped pattern and 2 in the checked because when I went back to get the other piece of striped fabric, it was gone.

A Few More Odd Jobs Done

The new shelves in the painted bathroom closet.

Then we worked at making Paul's closet two levels to try accommodate all his clothes.  It's been hard going from a walk-in closet to these much smaller closets.  Now we need to figure out what to do with Georgia's closet.

Got the shelves put up above the dryer to hold lots of 'stuff'.  The shelves were a great find at the thrift store.

A couple of small paint jobs

Paul painting the closet in the bathroom.

Painted shelves by the water heater.

A few new things around the house

The new clock we got for Christmas now in the living room. (Never mind those boxes!)

A new door bell!  That works!  Another Christmas gift.

And finally a stove that works!  It took getting a professional out to get it done, but it works now!

Another Weekend of Work with the Pusch's

Aaron got tired out and crashed for a while.

Andrew is putting up some shelves in the closet with the hot water heater.

The tall cupboard was put in place and the base cabinet.  It still needs the right countertop but it will do for now.  The tall cupboard also needed some additional shelves cut and placed inside.

All the components of the tv were hooked up and even got a Christmas tree put up.

The fake drawer fronts under the sink were glued in place and knobs added!

A new light was put up front (and the old front one was moved to the back) and we even got a wreath and some garland and lights put up outside.

The Pusch family has been such a great help to us in getting this house together.  Guess we'll have to return the favor sometime.  There were even more things done that didn't get photos.  Thanks, guys!

Trying to Get Settled In

We had some good helpers to get the majority of the larger stuff moved over on Saturday December 3.  Things are beginning to take shape and we have been able to make this our new place of residence.

The living room

Georgia's Room

Dining Room

Master Bedroom

 There are still boxes and there are still things to fix and finish, but what an improvement over the first time we saw this house!  And now it is beginning to look like ours.

Moving Day is Saturday!

Plans are to move the majority of the rest of our stuff on Saturday.  There will still be work to complete and things to move but we will begin sleeping at 813 Martinwood Lane!
