We're getting VERY close!

This is one of the most exciting updates I've posted here! =) After a year and half of planning this house and the building process, we have a moving date, well, two actually! Jan. 31 my family is going to be moving the BARE necessities in to our new home, such as our beds, clothes, and kitchen (my sewing machine is already there, so that necessity is already accounted for! LOL!). We'll be living there the next week while finishing up packing up the "rental" and shop! The 3rd will be the official moving day! We are so excited and very relieved since this whole process has been a very long and tiring one for our whole family. We've been so blessed to see God working through so many things, big and small! We hope and pray God will bless not only our family with this house but many others as well.

Okay, now for a few pictures!

Mom has been working on the stairs, both sets of them. Each stair case needs to be conditioned, stained, three coats of varnish, primer (for the white part), and then three coats of paint. It is a long tiring job and she is doing a great job but she wishes it were done!

Here she is working on the attic stairs.

The attic stairs are done!





Trim! That is the guest room door!

Our girls' room is completely done, painted and all! So of course we had to move some things in!

Part of the boys' room. They still need their trim painted but that hasn't stopped them from moving some small things in!

Their closet is almost done too! Grandpa is waiting for more material to finish the shelves.

Doors that are painted and ready to hang.
(oh that sounds morbid! How about this: "and ready to be set in place."???)!

The linen closet and boys doorway. Mr. Webber did the trim for these! I guess they were a pain but it looks great!

The stair case from the first floor before they were conditioned! This is the last of them you will see until they are stained!

The kitchen sink faucet!

She's all set to help!

Daddy's helper!

All the bathroom sinks are working! Cold water and HOT!

Bathroom tubs and showers are all done as well!

It's looking a lot like home!

The main bathroom is all done! Just the doors need on the cabinets.

Look! There is water running! LOL!

The uppers are in!



Mr. K making sure the cabinets are just right! He did such a great job!

All in! He just needs to get the shelves and doors on.

Our first time cooking at the house other than the grilled cheese sandwiches we'd been making on the wood stove. The pancakes were very yummy!

The light fixture over the island.

Thank you all for taking the time to scroll through all these! I don't know! Maybe my next post will be after we move! =) What a cheerful thought!

Blessing to you all!

A long process draws to a close! ...or a beginning!!

I LOVE your kitchen sink! I have a strong dislike for divided sinks. Whoever invented them was not a dishwasher.

I also LOVE the island fixture! So elegant!

I agree about the sink! We set a big pot in it the other day and it disappeared! It's nice to know that if we do have dish in the sink it isn't going to be the first thing company sees when they come in.

Thank you all so much for your prayers!
