Week 16

Another week has come and gone, and we are getting closer to moving in, but we haven't set a date for it yet. Things seem to change a lot every week, but yet when we look at all the little details that need doing before move in there are LOTS of things left to do. We are looking forward to it though, the RV seems to be getting a little small. Will I miss it when we move into the house? I don't think so, and yet it has been a good place to have---temporarily.
This past week, they finished up the siding around the bow window and so siding is complete. The second picture top, shows the spray in insulation being applied on the joists. We also had the eavestroughs installed one morning, took all of about 2 hours and the job was done, but now when it rains, we don't get leaked on when we go onto the porch. And they also put pine up on the ceiling of the screen porch.
Inside the house there was a transformation on the floors. We hired a friend to come in and install the hardwood and he worked hard all week and got most of it done. There is some more work in our bedroom, and some in the entrance to do yet, but it looks great. Even the grandkids thought so and already were dancing around on it one day.
We also finally found some linoleum that we liked , bought it and it was installed in the entrance, mudroom, and powder room, sewing room and our ensuite bathroom. We are also quite happy with it even though it got decided on in a hurry. It just felt right.

and of course, there was still farming to do, and the combining continued and we got all the wheat and oats finished this week, just minutes before the rain came on Friday.

Those floors look so shiny and beautiful. It's been neat to watch this house take shape over the summer. You guys have done incredible work.
