And Then There Was Light

Possibly and quite probably, I am slightly obsessed with progress on the house at this point. My projected move-in date is two days away. We still have no water. We have two potential well spots picked out and we’re trying to get a new witching. With a new witcher. In fact, TWO witchers. Trust…and verify.





In the meantime, we have the first light fixture!

And the flooring is finished in the living room/kitchen/dining room.





And it’s heading down the hall.





Ever wonder how people decide which way to lay hardwood? According to Steve-the-Builder, you lay it in whatever direction the hallway goes. Makes sense when you think about it that way. Fewer cuts.





With the wood down in the kitchen, they’re bringing in the cabinets. They’ll start installing the kitchen today. (See the dishwasher?!)





Water or no water, we’ll start moving things over this weekend. Weather is against us–rain and snow are in the forecast. I don’t care. I’m going to start moving things over. The house is going to be ready. It’s the outside elements that aren’t cooperating. Me, I am dogged in my determination.





Even if it means I have to drive up the side of the hill again to get under this tree that fell across the road to get there.

My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
