We're In...sort of

We moved into the house, well sort of.
After a month of living in the RV, with the house under construction, we decided to make a change in our plans. The RV was good. Living there was not a problem at all, except, well the "holding tank" was full, which meant that we could not use the toilet. We were (I was) tired of going to McDonald's or a convenience store to use the facility. When the plumbing was finished, we were able to use the master bathroom. Les thought that was fine, but, I was still not happy about getting up, putting on shoes and coat, leaving the RV in the dark, and going over to the house, just to use the bathroom. (Is this too much information??)
 We had  made the decision to not move anything into the house before we refinished the floors. At that time, we did not know how much plumbing and electrical work had to be done. We thought we would be further along after 6 weeks of work.
We tossed around a few ideas about getting a bed into the house. A couple of  Les' friends came over Sunday night and together, we decided to clean out the master bedroom and move our bed in.

So, Monday morning, we started working on the room. Unfortunately, the room was full of tools, doors, shelves, other wood salvaged from the house, so the first hour was spent clearing it out. Then, we really got to work. I removed the carpet tack strips and the staples from the floor.

Les set to work enclosing a doorway that led to the bedroom next to the master.

Don't we do good work???

Then we swept, and swept, and swept, trying to get all the dust off the floor. Then we said, Good Enough, and we got our bed out of storage and set it up.

 The room is much bigger than I thought. When we looked at the house, it was full of stuff and looked small, so when we put the bed in, I was shocked at all the room we have.

And look at these windows. We will be installing new, energy efficient windows soon, but I love the light and the view from that room.

We have decided on a beach theme for our decor.

To make the best of the view, we added wire tiebacks.

 Classy.
So, we spent the night in the house last night.



 We ordered internet service Friday, but, as of now (Tuesday morning) it is not up and running. We do have our computer hooked up, ready to go.

So, this morning, I got up, so happy to not have to leave the house, but, after an hour, I wanted coffee, and I was hungry. (No provisions in the house yet.) And, I was really excited to share this big step. So, one last (maybe) early morning trip to McDonalds for food, coffee, and free wifi!
