330 something days and counting
— 02/04/10
We are counting down to the HUGE event in our lives of moving into the new house on the hill. As many of you know it has been a work of progress for nearly 7 years now - really more than that if you count all the years before that while Roger was salvaging building materials....the red oak wood floor from the old ballet school, the 2x10's from the demolition of Harvest Bapt. Church, the poplar from the roof of Carolina Dance School and on and on it goes. We have pictures of the boys who are now sooo big as little fellas sitting and pulling nails from piles of salvaged building lumber.
And our dream of living there that seemed like a dream that would never come true is finally coming to fruition before our very eyes! If all continues to go well we should be able to move in before 2010 closes out - as the Lord wills. Yesterday the children and I were able help most of the day in a huge clean up of construction MESS and to get the inside all tidied up.
There still is a lot of work to be done but it basically boils down to ceilings and floors! I can see the end! Roger has worked for about 14 hours each day over the past month to finish up all the build-ins and cupboards (except door fronts) - that will come later.
It is hard to get a picture of a big space but here is one of the butler's pantry build in that he has completed minus it's doors and my wall oven area. I tell you I am going to have storage space running out my ears. I will have to battle with TOO MUCH STUFF and not continue to PACKRATIT with all the space I will have. We also have been given a huge unexpected gift as a kind and generous family friend has offered to give us a gift of granite countertops for our house! I am jumping up and down! The Lord has blessed us far beyond we deserve. Rejoice with me!
