760 Square Feet


I thought I would post the picture of our soon-to-be charming new abode for those in my family who haven't seen it. We refer to it has the in-between house or the dwelling. Two and a half weeks ago when we left on our latest trip we closed on our house. We need to be out by October 15. We hope to be out on the 9th.
This lovely house (we especially love the paint job) is only 760 square feet. We will be living in it for about 10 months or so while our future house is being built. We chose this house for it's location not because of it's size. It is directly across the street from the land where we are building our house. Our land is also where all our animals are, the tree house, and the barns. The kids love playing there so they will have a very big back yard. The jury is still out yet on whether we can put our queen bed and a dresser in our bedroom. It is very small.

Alex's dad Ken just left this morning after being here for a couple of days putting flooring in this lovely abode. In exchange for some repairs and new flooring we will be renting it for free. We appreciate Ken's hard work for us.

We are in the middle of home schooling, packing, cleaning, sorting, organizing, minimizing and campaigning. Life couldn't be better though. : )

Thanks for inviting me to your blog! Sounds like you guys are a LITTLE busy, good luck with everything. The trip to DC sounds wonderful, I've only been there once and I'd love to go back sometime, you just can't see it all in one trip. Say hi to your whole family for me. =)

I love that this home is right across from your land! How are things coming on the building part of things?
