Our wood floor in our kitchen and dining room had the last coat of varnish put on Thursday evening, so we weren't suppposed to walk on it for 48 hours. So, we started moving things in through our bedroom door Friday evening to the basement and the bedrooms. That was also the night we moved our freezer out of the basement of our old house (quite an ordeal --- it requires taking off boards on the porch and bringing it out through an old limestone stairway under the porch --- glad to not have to do that again!) Then Saturday morning we started with the other major pieces of furniture, including the old upright piano. It always takes a group of guys, as you can see in the pictures. The other interesting aspect for moving out of our older home was having to take bedroom furniture out the window onto the roof because the stairway is too narrow and turns too sharply. Enjoy the pictures of the furniture on the bale forks of the tractor. Saturday evening we finally moved our refrigerator and stove in --- all the necessities. Our first night sleeping there was Saturday. Everything went very smoothly and all our house things are in (although we still don't know where some of those things are!) We're slowly getting the house put together and are grateful for a large storage room in the basement for all the "extra" things.
One kind of sad story during the move, Andrew wanted to take a nap Saturday afternoon but couldn't find his bed in the old house. So, he cried all the way up the stairs, continued crying, and ended up crawling into the storage closet in his old room and laid down. Here's a picture of him resting in the closet - what a sad but cute sight!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to our friends and family that came out and helped. We couldn't have done it without you. We feel very blessed and are enjoying the "warmth" of our fireplace as well as the abundance of love filling our new home! Here's the view of the morning sun from our bedroom door.
