It has been a while since I have updated because things are moving a bit slower than I anticipated.  As it always does!

Once the house arrived in late December and I had water and power the pergola was installed and I couldn't be happier with it!

Then of course I had to make sure the TV would work...

You can watch it from the living room loft or even outside!

Worked on organizing my closet space with rolling clothes racks and shelves...

Then it became very cold and all progress stopped while I fought freezing pipes and cold drafts from the windows (which has been much improved after some adjustments to the window casing and windows but not totally resolved yet).

On January 16th I took almost a 4 week break for hip surgery!

My utilities are hid

Meanwhile progress did not completely stop, my back stairs, utility fence and deck was installed.  I went from these stairs

to this... (thanks to Bill and John Vernor!)

I have to wait one summer to stain the decks so the chemicals will be out of it so it stands out a bit.

I am still in the process of getting curtains altered but the rods are all up and the curtains purchased.  They make a big difference in the feel of the house so I will be glad when they come back. 

I only get an hour here and there to work on things so it might be a while before I really feel organized inside.  I could do it this weekend but I plan on spending most my time outside getting ready for SPRING!

The area below and around the front deck will be where I am doing my planting.

All systems are go!  

The house arrived last Thursday!!!

A few things needed to be resolved but now all the systems are working and the pergola is in process.  Also, I still need to level it.  I am beyond ready to get it to the move in point!!!

I had the chance to visit the plants I started a few months ago and they are coming along nicely.  We will see if they really get to 10ft but they were only 2" a few months ago.

 Just a few details left until it travels!  Snow delay now. 

 

 

A week away???

It's getting very close to completion!  I will not go over the details of the last few months.  Just pictures.

 The toilet goes here.....

Bathroom vanity goes here

6ft. drawers under the kitchen...

Duck-walk-in closet

Countertops...

A few days later..........

Bathroom Area

Shower to be...

The laundry room is one of the spaces that actually is gosh darn tiny!

 IKEA cabinets weigh less than most 

I am VERY happy with the countertops!  Brian Pollick did them and he does all kinds of custom cabinetry, countertops, etc....  We will see more of his work in here over the next few months!!! He is conveniently located between my Winston Salem and Charlotte friends and willing to travel.  If you need anything done his email is BrianPollick@yahoo.com
