The first big thunderstorm in our new house had Niagara Falls coming off the carport roof. So Lon & Kip had to get up there and clean off the roof, find out where the gutter covers failed, and snake out a downspout. It's great when your child is old enough and big enough to help with adult chores. I think he kind of had fun, walking on the roof...

Moved in!
The house is finally ours, and we're 90% moved in. Moving day was the day from HELL. It took Marla, Kip, Lon and me, plus the two men I hired, twelve hours to load the truck up, drive two exits west on the highway, and unload. Even then, there was still stuff on the truck, but we were so exhausted, we had to get up the next morning and finish up so I could take the UHaul back in time to avoid being charged for a second day. We never even got to the storage unit...have to do that another day.
Here's a few pictures. Everything is not all the way unpacked yet, and things will be moved around and re-arranged. But we're not living out of boxes any more! Looking from the breakfast room through the kitchen to the dining room. The living room needs a centerpiece for the mantel, and I have just the thing -- if I can only find which box it's in... Kip & I cleaned out his camp, and he's looking forward to having his friends over to hang out. Meanwhile, Lon & I are almost ready to have our friends over to hang out on the deck. Blizzard is happy to be able to chase deer right from the back door!
