Picture Troubles

So, appearently I don't know how to use the slideshow website Rock You! very well. If you click on the link at the bottom of the last post that says View All Images, you can see the slide show of our house moving pictures. Sorry that I couldn't get it to work.

We've Got Contact!!

We have been so busy working on the house that I haven't made a post for a while, over a month actually. A lot has happened!

We were able to get the basement floor poured during the first week of March. Then my Dad came and I helped him build the bearing wall.

On March 10th Valgardson & Sons, the house movers, came up and started getting set-up. We scrambled during the first couple of weeks that they were here working on things to finish getting things ready for them to move the house. they ended up framing in the garage end of the house for us so that they could move it more easily, and then they lifted the house up and moved it. They had the house lifted up off the foundation on March 18th, moved off to the side of the foundation on the 19th, and then they walked it down the road the 24th, rolled it over the new foundation the 25th, and set it on the new foundation on the 26th. The pictures tell more about the process than I can. Needless to say, it was pretty exciting to be able to watch the major parts of the process, and it is especially exciting to have a house sitting on our mud lot!!!


My goal for now is to get temporary occupancy within one month of the day that they set the house on the foundation. That will be April 26th. We've got a lot of work to do between now and then, but I think that it is doable. The heating guys came yesterday and today (April 1st and 2nd), the plumber will be there tomorrow (April 3rd), and hopefully we can get some electricity going this weekend. So, we are making progress.


We appreciate everybody's excitement and help!
