Ahhhh....We Are Moved In! Praise God!


Since our last post, it has been loads and loads of construction!  We have worked a little over 3 months to get our house in a state where we could move in.  We wanted to share some of those pictures with you.    We are all moved in now and settling down!  Thank you for your prayers and support during these past few hectic months.
Foundation is built, waiting for house

House has arrived!  This was right before they finished placing
the house on the foundation.  Talk about anxiety...watching
your whole house get winched over a big hole...but it went smoothly!
Original Kitchen.  We moved the island to make a U shaped
kitchen and it opened up the whole room!
Kitchen in Construction.  You can't see it in the pictures,
but we had to repair a lot of water damage under the old kitchen
sink, so all of the cabinets there were removed.  We replaced
the cabinets, but also the subfloor and parts of the outside
wall of the house...oh, the things you find when you start digging!

Kitchen Finished
Original Dining Room.  We removed all those cabinets and
re-purposed them in different parts of the house.
Dining Room under Construction
Dining Room Finished
Original Master Bath...took out the old tub and shower to relocate
and  have no tub, but a larger shower
Master Bath under Construction.  The bathrooms were a huge part of the work on this house.
Master Bath Finished

Original Kid's Bathroom...we took that door on the left out,
it was a 2nd door to the same bathroom.

Kid's Bath under Construction...added a window that wasn't there before...that was a new adventure in DIY!
Kid's Bath Finished.  Nice to have a sink and tub and toilet that all work!
Yep, that's a bathtub in our Living Room!
Mostly unpacked Living Room, but finished!

This is the Boys' room...all set up.
Megan's room...she loves all her little trinkets!
Our bedroom...yep, I'm still looking for that perfect place to
store my tools...in the meantime, there they sit at the foot of the bed!

I know this was a long post, but that's what I get for waiting so long to update the blog!  Anyway, our family is able to breathe deeply and press on to do what God really sent us here to do!  We'll update you soon!

Ben and Sarah and the Kids
