We did it. We moved in. I can’t really believe it. We’re far from done, but, it is amazing to be living in the home that we bought over a month ago.
This last weekend we completed some pretty big items, most importantly the removal of the gigantic oak branch / bug highway that was laying on the roof. Good riddance:
So many overgrown trees on the front and back. We trimmed and moved it all out to the street for brush pickup.
Mom’s still painting…and still amazing.
We got a PANTRY (doors still to come)! With fancy notched baseboards:
And Harrison got his bed! And found a few more boxes of toys.
And after a long day Harrison really needed some relaxation time:
We did purchase a new stove, but, of course – nothing is easy around here, before we can use it Marc will need to do some electrical work so we’re making do with our camp stove… not too shabby.
We were also able to put on a few other finishing touches, like baseboards in some of the hall:
And thanks to the help of Tony – we have a bed!
So, here we are – Monday the 20th of October – by no means are we done, but, we are living here – in our new home – we even had time to put a few pieces of art up on the mantel. A reminder of what we’re doing all of this for. For our little family.
I mean right!?

OH my this is so cool. God, so many branches to cut. You guys are awesome. It’s like you can do anything! Looks like H is settling in. Keep the photos coming. Love Aunty M
Window covering look good.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. Your support in this insanity is vital! Love you!
Aimee and Mark, everything looks great. You have done a wonderful job
on the house. Can,t wait to see it all finished. The house looks so much better with that big oak branch off. So glad You were up on the roof and not me. I can see why your mum opted for painting and not on the roof.
I was thinking the same thing. 🙂
I think keeping the fireplace stone was brilliant. The colors work so well. I hope your first weekend was fantastic and you slept well in your new home.
yeah!!! How great that you have your nest. Harrison seems to be completely at home. What a huge effort but well worth it. Dream do come tru 🙂
We have been avid followers of your reno journey and are very impressed with the level of expertise shown by all of you. Obviously it has been an enormous undertaking that has come through with flying colours. What a wonderful birthday present for Aimee to be in her new home to celebrate her birthday on Thursday. Look forward to seeing the completed project when next we visit.
Lots of love to all, Dot & Gary.
