House Pics
A lot of people have asked us to put house pictures up on our blog! It makes sense too; we’ve published a lot of the journey, so why not display some of the fruits of our labour? Of course, like many houses, there are jobs still to be done, like rendering and some painting touch […]
The joy of a house
I apologise for not blogging lately. I’m being very lazy. Actually, I am just *really* enjoying my new house. It is wonderful to be here. The journey, however is not over. Monte has been using the tractor to do some landscaping. He has filled in the trenches in the front yard and he has moved […]
Temperature
When we first moved into this house, it was cold, and I complained of being ‘freezing,’ and wrapped myself up in blankets and jumpers (ever the drama queen).

We’re in!!!
Wow. We moved in on Thursday – our first night! We started by moving in the big furniture, and any boxes that were in the way of accessing more big stuff. The children have been very excited, and are now exhausted after four days of change. Wardrobes are filling up, as are kitchen cupboards! Our pantry […]
Moving in…
Yes indeedy. Our plan is to move in this Friday – two more sleeps!!! The house looks amazing. We’ve cleaned up the floors and they look really good! Monte put the blinds up in the bedrooms, which are now lovely and dark. We have the hot water system up and running – lovely hot showers […]
