1 week until our Move!!!

The reality of the move is hanging over our heads like a grey cloud on a misty day!

My vision is constantly filled with piles of clutter or rubbish. Nope it's just boxes stacked higher than me. I'm feeling imprisoned within my own house. Trapped in a never ending labyrinth of my own belongings.  My mind is functioning in a jungle of complexities, trying to find one simple corner of order! 

It's time to invest in paper cups and plates and pack the kitchen! It's time to pull out the suitcases and pack them for a 14 day journey to the new house! We will be living out of them until order is achieved over there! The everyday comfort items are slowly vanishing. The clock in the hallway is already gone and I keep looking at the blank spot on the wall only to be further left in a void.

The list-to-do is never ending! I must rally my inner self and invigorate the motivation to complete this project of packing a house! I need to find a babysitter for June on Saturday so I can pack her room! What corner of the house do I even begin? I feel like I'm sitting on the amusement park ride, Tilt-a-cup, whirling in a complex web of perplexity! So many decisions that my head will soon Detonate, shattering to pieces of information burdens!!

While my everyday is overloaded with packing concerns the other house is making headway!! Details are being smoothed over each and every day!! The tiled floors in the bathrooms are finished and the woooden floors are almost layed down.  The kitchen island is in place, the cabinets have handles. The house is becomming home-like! I'm going to visit the site today, absorb the sprightliness and place that zest deep within my Heart. I believe that this will help me finalize and accomplish the last portions of packing our row-house of 4 years!

The progress of the kitchen!

The weekend has arrived
giving us new hope! 

The snow is Melting and now our nerves have calmed!!

It has been one challenging week filled with Frost and Snow which has caused only a few problems!
The workers were able to lay down the foundation but now it needs to dry! In order for it to dry we need warmer temperatures! They have layed down some insulation over it to help the process. The entire build is under a time crunch! If this does not dry (it takes 4 days) there will be further delays!

The base of the house!

We were given wonderful news!
We have the date for the arrival of the house and everything is going as planned!! 

We have been told that the house will be erected: February 4, 2014!

The house will be delivered on several lorries through out the day and slowly placed together!!!
Similiar to giant Legos! 

Build a house in 12+ hours!

This is the day we have Pa-tiently been anticipating for 1 year! Well actually my entire life.

Our vision of constructing our little (cause it's small: 1,200 sq. ft.) charming house is finally underway!

The day - February 4, 2014

The Building Begins!

Side of the house being placed into position!

The day starts early and Tom has taken the day off to watch and document this extraordinary event!

First the 4 outer walls will be arranged in to place.

Then the inner walls will be set up in their designated spots.

Finally the roof will be raised!

Are you wondering how long this will take? You can see that the Sun has just risen and the entire process will be finished by the night! It's early AM and the second wall is almost secured into place!

Trucks carrying pieces of our house!

Here is 1 of the trucks delivering our house! Just like that the pieces of our house are on site. All they have to do is unpack the pieces, assemble it and then presto we have our house! Of course they have to go inside and finish the rest but a house will finally be standing on our property by the end of the day!

Assembling the sides!

It took a little manuvering and shifting but the outer walls fit perfectly together!

Placement of the inner walls.

Now all 4 sides are successfully set up! It's time to insert the inner walls! It's really beginning to look like a liveable accomodation! 

Raising the Roof!

 THE LAST PIECE! 

The last section of the roof is being placed. The house will be completed after this block is set down by the cranes! As you can see it's dark again! It is now 8.00 pm and the house is finalized! We have 4 outer walls, all the inner walls in place and a sealed roof! All this occured TODAY!

What did you do today!
