So November 15th was the day we got possession of our new home. We were up early in the morning packing and waiting for 12:00 to come for our first load of boxes to be delivered. It was many trips back and forth, lots of lifting, up and down stairs, etc. We had enough of our things moved here the first day which enabled us to have our first night in our new house. The following day we bagan the digging for the foundation of the new shop and we also dug our new pond. We continued for a few days moving things and then........ the snow started falling. It fell and fell and put about 11 inches on the ground. The temperature dropped to -13 with the wind chill, the roads became icy and this made it nearly impossible to continue on. Our old house has a vey steep and long driveway which quickly was iced over. Luckily our old landlord called and let us know that there was no rush to have everything moved by the 1st. Phew!!! The house is about 95 percent done but the shop is still full. The weather is slowly getting better and the snow has begun to melt. We are expecting temperatures of 8 degrees for the next few days with rain. The snow will be gone and we will get on with our moving and building.
Here are a few pictures of the new house.......we LOVE it!!!
