If a picture is worth a thousand words...

...then I hope you all enjoy this book :-D

This should give you an idea of what's been happening the past few days... I'm still too busy to get online much, just trying to keep up on Facebook and email and have quickly peeked at a couple of blogs but that's it... There is sooo much to do here, it's mind-boggling. But immensely fun and rewarding.

I don't remember ever being half this happy :-)

A zoom into the back view of our property, to get the horses in the mist... so lovely to see it roll in at night like the souls of a thousand dead sailors... or something like that, LOL! The mist is also sometimes there in the wee hours of the morning.

Our view on a sunny morning - I love this tree :)

Our living room the day we signed for the house, after we'd dropped off a carload of stuff. I can't believe it was once so clean and bare, LOL!

The day after the 17-hour move... Gaaah! Every room of the house was piled high with stuff, however the main floor got the brunt of the boxes and furniture as the movers were too exhausted to carry stuff upstairs at that point.

Just kill meh! LOL

Tuesday morning... starting to look a bit better. A bit.
Notice the über-tired doggy in the corner!

Ah yes, the battle of the delivery trucks last Saturday morning, 9:10am! The red container had arrived at 7am, but then the John Deer lawn tractor arrived and 30 seconds later, the truck with our washer and dryer showed up. Hilarious! And there was Vegas, not sure what was going through his head at that very moment...

View of the horrid rotted ant-infested deck - first thing to get demo'ed early Saturday morning.

Ah, much better now! The new cedar deck will be much lower to the ground so we can actually see the land instead of wood. Should be up in a week, weather permitting.

A short video of my little bro, who came over to help - he actually ended up tearing the deck up mostly by himself, as Vegas was stuck at the hardware store loading up the car (read: destroying the shocks) with 33 boxes of tile, cement and other impossibly heavy things, LOL! My bro is awesome :)

View of the side of the house, sans ugly deck. That all needs to be fixed and sealed, of course... Notice the green stain on the siding, where the propane tank used to be... and the doggy in the window. Awe.

Vegas applying his tiling skills with great fanfare! Our awesome contractor is a great teacher, we'd be lost without him. We really, really lucked out with this guy (thank you for the referral, Wayne!) - will take a pic of him building the new deck later!

Finally, the eyesore on the side of the stables is coming down. Half was torn off yesterday and Vegas is just heading out now to finish the job. It's harder than it looks.

But he seems to enjoy it despite the aches and pains that hit later, LOL! I too am helping as much as my fragile back allows... yesterday I sweated and burnt like I never have before carrying loads of rotted timber to the container. Woo!

This month we need to get the inside of the stable gutted and rebuilt... it will be gorgeous!

Two of our sweet boarders. I loves them. Someday I will have my own horse, hopefully sooner than later. Hopefully.

Home is where the heart is... and I've found my forever place.
