Our Journey through the dust and rubble

MOVING IN!!!

We worked Thursday morning, all day Friday and all day Saturday. At about 8:00 Saturday night we started moving stuff in! We moved stuff in until about 10:30 then decided it was time to get some dinner and go to bed. After gospel meeting on Sunday afternoon we headed straight home and started moving in more. We were over there for about three hours and we have most of the stuff we want up stairs in! Poor Josh only had the help of his wife to help him carry in all of our furniture, but we finished without any serious fights and only a few sore muscles.

For those of you who don't know we are moving into the top floor while we continue to work on the rest of our house. We are so happy that we will finally be able to live in our house that we bought over two years ago. Once we get our temporary kitchen set up in the basement we will move on to finishing the main floor. Thank-you to Mom and Dad Barnes for putting up with us for the past year.

Ready for comments

Hello all!

We have fixed the comments so you can now leave us your thoughts! We had to revamp the site after blogger changed their comment format. We would love to hear from each of you!

Bathroom

The bathroom is done! We just have to finish cleaning it so we can use it. I am very proud of Josh's work on the first bathroom that he ever done.

The shower door is in. As soon as it was installed Josh took a shower in here. While he was in there he scrubbed away all the dirt and grout so we could move in with a clean shower. What a good husband!
Here he is checking out his work after installing the toilet.

Almost there!

We are putting the finishing touches on the top floor of our house! Hopefully we can move in within the next few weeks. We have been doing lots of staining and cleaning getting ready so we can live in it.

Dave came over to help put up some of the molding.

We put up the blinds in our sitting room.
Since we don't have our bathroom door finished yet Josh thought it would be easier to put up the blinds so our neighbors couldn't seen in while he took a shower.
