We official moved into the house on Nov 11 with Delbert not wanting to until everything was all done, but I had enough of going back and forth trying to work durning the day, work at the house after work and then go to the house where we had been living for the past 18 months at 1 in the morning and doing house work and then going to bed. So I called the boys and said I was moving and they showed up. After almost seven years of house sitting it sure feels different having my own stuff back again. The long hard nights of this house project have paid off except that we are both totally burnt out. It may take time for those little things to get done, but in the mean time we are loving are HOME.
These are a few BEFORE & AFTER PICTURES

This is what the house looked like before the Reno and at this point I was still up set with Delbert for buying it because I didn't like the roof line of the house and it was to chopped up and closed in inside. |
