after 4 months

After purchasing a new home in July we have finally moved into on November 7. We were homeless for about 5 days but we finally moved in. We had to be out of our apartment on November 4 so we moved all of our stuff over to our new, unfinished home and stayed the night at our friends house. We had power, gas, and water going by the end of the week so we had our first night in our new home on Friday. Our friends were super generous in letting us stay at their home for 4 nights. During that time, I spent my time at the house putting boxes away and making it liveable. It had no shelves or rods in the closet, no shelves in the pantry or laundry room, no TP holders or shower curtains. Now the house is close to being done. We have a few things to finish up, like caulking lots of little things, fixing holes in the wall, screwing in the sink and dishwasher, and fixing some electrical outlets. WE do have carpet, paint, tile, power water, heat. We even have a deck now. That is the one manly thing that David wanted to do so we have a deck in the back and they finished it in about 3 hours.

We wanted the rooms to be in perfect condition before taking pics but I doubt that will ever happen so we will show you how things are looking now, knowing that we still have saws and drills all over our house.

so here are a few befores and afters. Also if you so desire you can look back at the previous blogs in July and August and see what this house has gone through. David has worked so hard.

The kitchen. Pretty sad huh!>?!

and after... doesn't it look better. There is a bar on the left hand side so it is super open and it looks right into the living room. There is a lot of light and that one space on the wall between cupboards now has some open shelves for cook books. David did an awesome job.

The kids bathroom before... very scary This is the kids bathroom. much better. There is a cupboard behind the door with linens and things (not the store). There is still some work that needs to be done.

We will put some pics on later.
