Subject: Long time since a house update.....(pix)


Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa

Some of you may remember that our son and daughter-in-law moved an old (1916) Craftsman Bungelow from a tiny town near us to the site where my grandparents' home was, just up the road from where we live.  That move was made on about the coldest day of 2010.....Feb 2nd....and our guys had spent the entire day prior to the move with a tractor/loader, backhoe, and skidloader widening out our gravel road because it had been completely full of snow. 

Well, the kids were able to move into the finished basement of the house just before Christmas and work has continued on the upstairs part since that time. 

I took a few pictures of the main floor.  The upstairs, where all of the bedrooms are, is almost completed.  Carpet was laid in the master bedroom today.   We're very excited for them, and of course, they're very excited to get completely moved into their new home.

Here are some of the recent pictures:

Stairway at the front entryway of the house, will be wallpapered soon:
