Sorta Moved In...

 Let me wrap up the year of Construction photos I have been posting... it has taken me so long to blog all this that I am quite behind!

There came a point at the end of that year where the major structure was done, wall board up, flooring up, electricity and plumbing mostly done. Most of the light fixtures were in, smoke alarms installed. We lacked built-ins, floor trim, shelving, and some doors. The bathrooms were in progress; the kitchen one big bare room waiting for cabinets. 

The "living room" was really just the garage. 

But on the other side we carved out some civilization in the dining room!

We had a temporary kitchen set up in the laundry room including a fridge. We had heat in the house, lights in the house, and spent most of the day in the house doing school and work. It just made sense when it was below freezing outside to plop a sleeping mat on a nice, warm floor in a structure that had 8" of insulation. The RV was handy for hot showers, but I wasn't going to haul dishes down there anymore. I boiled water for dishes and put my washtub in the laundry room sink. 

Home sweet RV was fast being abandoned to memory...
