Latest Updates!

Unpacking and getting settled in is coming along slowly but surely! We had two storage units and I was able to get the two combined into one! When my son called me while I was there working on it, as soon as he realized I went there to work on it, he insisted on coming by to help me out! So sweet! We banged it out in no time at all once he was there! 

Back to the house for updates! 

The large downstairs bedroom was fully packed with furniture and moving boxes when we first moved in! We couldn’t even get inside that room! Here it is now! 





The latest photos of the rest of the house! 

Great room: 



























My office: 












First floor bathroom:







Master bedroom, second floor: 





Second floor bathroom: 






Hallway area of second floor:






Stairs to the basement: 



I have really cleaned up the basement! The spare wood, which was scattered throughout the basement, has been neatly stacked in one area. and then I was able to set up the couch and place the coffee table there. The TV is on the couch for now until I eventually locate my TV wall mount. I moved the extra refrigerator and freezer over to this area of the basement and they are now plugged in. We also moved our tool benches, tool boxes, and metal storage cabinet from storage! 
















I have gone through so many boxes! This area was packed with some smaller pieces of furniture, refrigerator, freezer, multiple boxes and plastic totes! What a difference! 












Utility bathroom in basement has also had some updates! I added a little side table for my laundry supplies, vanity mirror, toilet paper dispenser and towel ring! 





I added deck post solar lights to the deck area. Most of my deck furniture is here! I hope to be able to get the gas fire pit, table and chairs this week! 









Deck post solar lights! 




I added solar lights outside around the stairs and down along the farmers porch as well as the front of the house.






I moved my black bench and deck box outside the base egg window, underneath the deck. 




All of the scrap lumber is gone from under the farmers porch! There were other piles of scrap wood in various areas around the yard and that is all gone, too! The only lumber that remains is good, usable lumber! 









 This was what it looked like before!

      TY, Sis!! It is do cute! We’re slowly getting there! Still many boxes left to go but at least now we’re to the point where we can take our time with it! It’s summer and I’d rather be out enjoying the weather and save the rest for the winter months!

Catching Up: Wildlife

We have a couple of game cameras down at the bottom of the field. We totally enjoyed the wildlife that these cameras captured!  This cutie has been around since the fall after we cleared the field out back and got the grass growing! We call her Nibbles, as she loves nibbling on the grass!  I can always tell it’s Nibbles when I see the dark spot on her inner right rear leg!  We had so many deer during the winter rut season!  Meet Gaylord Faulker! The coolest buck around! After he shed his large antler at the end of the rut, Hubby found it! So cool! When you find sheds in the woods you don’t know the deer they came from. First time we actually know the deer that it came from! How cool is that.  Here’s his antler! If we could find his short antler, the package would be complete! Once the snow melts, I’ll be out there searching for it! It’s a tough one to find, though!  This was when he shed his large antler! The before and after photos!  Another before an...

My son and his family went by our house in New Hampshire and we FaceTimed so we could see the house!  We weren’t able to get up to New Hampshire this weekend as we have been busy packing here to prepare for our move. My daughter-in-law also took some photos and a video and sent them to us. Here they are!  The glass doors have been installed in the bathroom shower units! Here’s the upstairs bathroom!  Here’s the downstairs bathroom!  They made a little more progress with the great room ceiling! They have to cut and treat the boards before they hang them. I believe this past week our contractor focused more on board prep. Once dry after treating them, installing them will be pretty quick!  Looks like the ceiling in the larger of the two downstairs bedrooms is done! I think this completes this bedroom as far as hanging tongue and groove pine wallboards! They will eventually add trim at the joints and around the window and will hang the closet and entry doors! ...

Weekend Visit!

I went up to New Hampshire this weekend and took multiple photos! Great progress is being made with the house so it is ready for us to move into early June! In about one month we will be moving in! I just can’t believe it! It’s just too good to be true! Our dream of a log cabin is coming true! Having a mountain view, property on a mountain river and 12.55 acres is also a dream! But the best dream come true is living 1.5 miles up the road from my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter! I will believe it on move in day! LOL! Oh, and another thing is that I get to keep my dream job too! While living here in eastern Connecticut, I have worked from home for a company in Rhode Island since August 2016, and I love my job! It was just approved on Thursday morning! Another dream is coming true! I know God has been helping me throughout all of this!  OK, time for photos!  This is my weathervane at my home in Connecticut:  As of yesterday afternoon, it is now behind my hom...
