We made it. WHOOO!

Distinct lack of posts lately; not due to a lack of progress, just due to a lack of surplus time and energy. But we made a mad dash to the (temporary) finish and now live in the house!!  Whoo!

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful people in our lives who helped make this possible. You know who you are. Truly amazing. 

It was all for this:

So, there's still lots of work to do, but we're allowed to live here now. Phewf!

Moving in was a relatively simple affair, again thanks to the extreme generosity of others. We did it the best way I can imagine, with a powerful truck hauling all our gear in one shot, in a massive weather protected trailer that we can borrow for a little while. Thanks Carl, you rock!

Carl dropping off the beast:

We spent a hurried afternoon stuffing it with our... well, stuff. 

After a partial unloading and some delicious soup (thanks Grace!), everyone frolicked around the yard (dirt pad).

Love it. There's a lot to do still, but most of isn't so urgent. It's time to enjoy the summer and all the amazing people around us!  Hope too have you all out here soon to visit and frolick.  :)
