It has been a hectic past 1 1/2 months as we have managed to purchase our 'new' home, accomplish major renovations, move our family, and have been trying to get settled in. We wanted to be in our new place by Christmas and we worked day & night to make it a reality. After closing on the house on December 2nd, we began the major overhaul.
We had ordered carpet to be installed on Monday, December 22nd and made the trip back to Fort Myers to finish packing, cleaning and loading the U-Haul on the 20th in time for the carpet. After getting everything squeezed in the U-Haul, we drove up to Fort White and unloaded everything into the living room. Our goal was to have the carpet installed on Monday, unpack, and have everything in place by Christmas day.
However, the rain moved in and the carpet install was cancelled until Friday, December 26th. So, we made due with our cramped quarters and enjoyed our Christmas...including our Christmas tree which we cut down from our property!
The carpet was eventually installed and we began to unpack and now things are finally in place. There is still more 'little' jobs to do on the inside of the house but we are getting there. The outside has also been slowly getting a facelift as well. Our goal is to get most of the things done in the next week, take a week or two off to get our strength back and then begin laying the groundwork on the new church plant.
My next post will be of the final pics of the renovations!
