Moving day and beyond...

We moved on Wednesday, today is Sunday, and I am more exhausted than I have ever been!!!  The movers showed up at around 12:30 and we finally dropped into bed at 10:40. The first night was interesting...very humid in the house and the dogs whined all night.  I seriously felt like I was sleeping between wet blankets.  Note to self, fix moisture problem.   This is probably because we sleep over a crawl space that has water in it.  We need to install a sump pump.  It is on the to do list.

Day two, I had to go to work and all I could think about was all the boxes sitting around my house.  Our Jack Russell ended up sleeping with us.  She crawled under the covers and did not emerge until morning.  The humidity was a bit better since the doors had not been open all day like they were for moving day.
  Here is our little whiner!



Day three, sleep, sweet sleep!  I still had to go to work though.  We also woke up to torrential down pours.  My husband called me three times on the way to work and said to wait two hours before coming in because the roads were flooded.  We ended up with water in the basement.  We need to clean the gutters, put in a sump pump and put in french drains around the house.  Fun stuff, I know!


This is the crawl space that needs insulations, a water barrier and a sump pump.

The following pics are our boxes throughout the house.  Now I know this doesn't look like much, but we also have a 48 x 40 building full of boxes.  We are going to have to come up with some serious storage solutions. 


 
One storage solution we had to come up with was clothing!
 

 
We went from a walk in closet four times the size of our current closet in picture one above.  My lovely daughter built this beauty by herself as temporary storage for winter clothing until we can get an armoire.  Which will be challenging because where we need to put it has low ceilings. 
That is all for today.  I have to get up extra early in the morning now that I live out in the country!  I love it though!  We are blessed!!!
