Praise God for lifting me up

 When I was quite down.

When the manufacturer comes out to fix stuff like this


They said they will put the outlet in at no charge.

I think that's their way of saying they messed up, but either way, Praise God!

You all be safe and God bless.

Riddle me this.

 Why would you put in a circuit breaker for something?



And then not put the outlet in?


Apparently it's because we did not tell them we were going to USE a microwave. Even though the floor plan for the home shows a microwave opening.



Right under the pantry. Nowhere does it say Optional, like the dishwasher.

Lord forgive me, but the frustration is starting to really get to me.

You all be safe and God bless.

So we got the keys yesterday

 We were out at the property doing laundry. Our old washer and dryer you may or may not remember, we got working by putting the washer in the kitchen and the dryer in the dining room. 

There was a knock on the RV door and it was the man doing the... delivery work. He told us about a few things that he had reported, that the front door was open and the keys were in the kitchen. And he left.

After the laundry was done, we put the truck in 4-wheel and went over to the house to get the keys. Hubby has been under the weather for a few days so I went in. I apologize for the quality of pictures. I will take some more at some time.

Anyway, from the front door looking toward the kitchen-dining area.


There is sheet rock dust everywhere. The hole that was in one wall has been patched. I need to double check all the doorways that had cracks. The wall with the thermostat has been put back in place. Loose closet door frames reattached, etc.

A bad picture of the living room.


The second bathroom.



2nd and 3rd bedroom, sort of.



The only light is from the windows, or recessed lights. Light bulbs are on the shopping list, And now that I look closer those pictures may be of the same room. Haha.

"Dining" area.



I know you can't actually tell anything. Sort of sorry, but hubby was waiting and I was trying to see what all was what, since they didn't want us inside while anyone was working. 

The kitchen light switches go to recessed lights. Not sure what else until we get light bulbs. But I know that one switch goes to two lights and the other goes to about five overhead lights. The switch closest to the living room turns on the two.

Few more pictures of the kitchen.








The last picture I cropped to show you the shipping strap that was on the stove. I tried to remove it but it is hung up behind the oven somewhere. Since it's gas I didn't want to pull too hard. We'll have to see if we can move it enough to remove the strap. Don't want it to melt first time I use the oven!

The two drawers there don't close right. Common problem as I understand. I made a note.

And a couple pictures of the master bedroom/bath area.



The 'fix' for the gas water heater. Need to take that panel off to see if there is an exhaust for the water heater now.


I'm curious to find out what this hose is, in the A/C furnace area, also,



And I'm wondering what we're supposed to do with this stuff that got... left behind? And I haven't looked in the box yet.



That's pretty much it for now. I will probably try to do better pictures of some areas. We don't do Better Homes and Gardens though so not sure what all you will finally see. 

You all be safe and God bless.

Thank you, Lord

 The next 4 days have no rain, God willing.

This burn pit is 8 feet deep. It's half full of water.




And the yard today, which has to dry before we get our driveway.






We got the keys today, though. Lots of hopefully little problems that I will talk about later.

Tomorrow I will post some pictures of the new home.

You all be safe and God bless.

Another small step



The siding has been put on the ends of the home. Work inside starts this week. There is rain in the forecast; but the work being done is inside.

Praise God!  :)

You all be safe and God bless.

We have an air conditioner.

Praise God! A little closer. 

You all be safe and God bless!
