We're Moving the House!

So last weekend when Jeff and my Dad cleaned up our little mess of a farmhouse we misplaced our prized 1898 Indian Head penny (you know the one we found heads up!). I had put it in a plastic zip-lock baggy for safe-keeping and then placed it in my purse. Well I took it out last weekend to show Dad and then -rather smartly- left it on the really messy kitchen counter top. The same counter top that was to be cleaned. Well, needless to say, that penny got swept up into one of the following 6 really big bags of groddy construction debris. Yesterday I set out to find our lucky penny... when I opened the first bag and began sifting through insulation, boards with nails, and bits of drywall- well, I felt really discouraged. BUT! As luck would have it... Our lucky penny must be very lucky because I had been searching for all of four minutes and I spotted it!

                                                              Found it!

              Our Marden's deals from over a year and a half ago are finally going to pay off!

Jeff bleached the well, so no more E coli in our drinking water! Yay! The first few sips tasted a little cloroxy... but now we don't need to use water bottles anymore!

We're changing our address! Why? Because they (the town office) said we can! Ok, since we're on the corner of two roads we're able to simply block off one of our driveway entrances (we have two) and use only the one. Well, when Jeff told me he'd like to change our address, I thought he was ridiculous. You can't just change your address because you don't really care for the name of the road you're on. Turns out he was right- we definitely can change our address- so we are!

We can choose between the numbers 404 and 406... which should we go with??? Let us know what you think in the comments section! ...So as the title suggests: we're moving the house! Well, sort of!

                                               Bedroom #1 has new color!

                                        Bedroom #2 also has new color!
                  (It looks pretty sad in this picture... it's supposed to be a gray-lilac color)

Jeff leveled up the bathroom's floor, added under-layment, installed the shower, and added a toilet just for looks! The toilet's will be installed shortly.
