... till moving day! Everything is winding down and I'm starting to get antsy. I have almost everything pack except a few minor things and I still have some cleaning to do but other than that we are all set. Kent and his friend will be arriving Thursday night. I will be putting them to work loading the truck while I go to work Friday. We will make a pit stop in VA and finish our journey Saturday unpacking our lives on the farm.
While I've been packing, Kent has been busy getting the farm ready for our (mine and the pups) arrival. He has already sanded and painted the kitchen cabinets. He must know how I worry about the kitchen. He has also, with the help of some friends, painted the ceiling in the kitchen and the living room/dining area. Minor mishaps though.. Both ceilings were painted with the wrong kind of paint! Nothing major though! at least nothing a little more paint can't fix. Kent also plans on painting the paneling and ceiling in one of the bedrooms so we can move our furniture in right away. The other bedrooms will have the paneling taken out and dry wall put up during the winter months (to keep Kent busy). He is also supposed to be putting up some blinds to keep the sun out. I'm not putting curtains up until things are more organized. Even then, I may not.
The following are just general pictures of the farm taken with a phone because I know people are interested in seeing what it looks like. I apologize for the poor quality.
This is the pasture/back yard area. There is a little pond to the left in the picture.
My Gram and Uncle visited the farm this past Thursday and he decided to come back and pull some of my weeds! Its looking better already!
And we can't forget pony ("Tucker") and goat! Jayda my westie think goat is a dog.
The next set of pictures are of the kitchen before Kent painted. Once I am home, I will post pictures of the finished product. You can't tell by the pictures but the cabinets are a yellowed color with some antiquing. Kent painted them white.
The blue cabinets are original I believe, maybe not blue but they are staying blue.
He even took pictures once he took the cabinet doors off :-)
Well, that is all I have for now. Look for new pictures after the big move! Wish us luck!
