Grandma had a few days with us at the cabin before moving day during which she enjoyed sleeping with the cats on the cabin floor and using the outhouse at -40F. She likes to bring stories home from her vacations and we don't like to disappoint. I'm sure she'll be talking about our stellar accommodations for some time! Luckily moving day came at the end of the week. Being that it was -40F and being that moving is always stressful and never any fun we don't have a single picture from that day. Best that we all forget it as soon as possible and jump right into the new house! It wasn't quite finished but cardboard counter tops and a Jacuzzi tub for a kitchen sink work in a pinch. It's been great being in the new house this week. We get more done every day and look forward to a finished house very soon. Here's the current state of the kitchen.
Grandma had a wonderful vacation in Alaska. Here she is finishing the tile in the upstairs bathroom. What could be more fun than that? Mom would want me to mention that these are her work clothes and that we didn't have a working shower yet. Oh, and that she was sawing tile...she doesn't wear bright yellow ear protection all the time :)
And here's grandma grouting the downstirs and mudroom floors. I'm sure she's feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after her time with us. We didn't give her much of a vacation but she's made a huge contribution to our home that we'll enjoy for years and we expect she will too when she comes back for real vacations in the future! Please come back Grandma! We promise we won't have any tile jobs for you!
We all caught up on our beauty sleep while Grandma worked. Well, one of us did. Good thing he's the cutest one.
