Moving In

At the time we moved in on August 1, 2004 we lived in just a few rooms of the house. We used the den on the main floor as our bedroom, the dining room as our living area, a bathroom and part of the kitchen. The first evening we moved in my son-in-law and I had to install a water heater as the old boiler system no longer worked. But first we had to tear out the closet that had been built in the original kitchen that currently served as a utility room.

Those first few weeks felt very much like camping out.  In fact if I'm honest the first few years felt like camping out!
