Progress at a standstill

So we have moved into part of the house, the back part to be exact. Although the kitchen is in working order and I am blesse with a stove, fridge and even a dishwasher. Under the kitchen sick has old water damage that no one took the time to fix when they replaced the plumbing. The plus side of that is I know the plumbing is not bad. I tested it, I promise. But I also teste the floor where the old water damage was, yep its bad.

But back to where we are in the house. We are staying in a room of about 150 square foot, maybe 175. We have set up two queen size beds and a bunk bed. There is still room to walk in there barely and we are house ALL our clothing in a walk in closet in a very unorganized manner. I am going to work on organizing that on Sunday afternoon. I saw a post on another blog about a family closet and hope that I can come up with that same concept before school starts...because the clothes will have to stay back there even if we get a couple more bedrooms going, due to the dust.

So that is where we sleep. Then you step out of that room and there about a 50 sq ft room that houses our dining room table. We also have a 15 sq ft space that is storing everything else. My husband has also taken over a 100 sq foot space that houses his desk and tools. Ryan doesn't sleep much so he has to have access to his computer. Its his one vice playing games while everyone is sleeping. Otherwise he would wake everyone up because he would want to work on the house.

Finally we have an operational toilet and shower...in seperate gutted bathrooms. Oh and sink also in the bath with the shower. It makes for interesting mornings getting ready for work.

This week Ryan killed a timber rattler in the yard. My youngest impelled his foot with an iron rake. We have moved into the house, cleaned, primed, layed flooring, and knocked down the chest high grass. What we have not done yet, made chicken coop, fenced in the pasture, layed more flooring, and finished painting.
