Moving Forward

Josh just kept pushing the whole process forward. He had so many plates up in the air spinning so that when the floors were dry we'd be ready to do the final pieces to move in. I was starting to really get overwhelmed. One night a bunch of our friends came over and just got to work! Johnny and Brooke showed up and stayed until after 1 am laying the IKEA flooring for the guest room. Brooke is pregnant with their first child and had already had a full day but there she was with a happy heart! They laid the whole floor that night!
Peter had sent workers one day to lay the wood floor but they got to work and found the cement still wasn't dry even though we'd had 4 dehumidifiers running non stop. Peter called Josh and told him to go get our wood stove and install it and crank it up! So Josh and Hondo brought it in. It was warm in our house for the first time this winter! And we felt like seeing the wood stove in, we were seeing our home! I was starting to picture what Josh had been envisioning!
Hondo called Brad and he came over to help build the IKEA kitchen cabinets. They worked late into the night even though they both have very full schedules. They couldn't mount them to walls or anything but this way once the floor was in we could move forward with getting the kitchen in.
Josh had to solve the puzzle of an IKEA kitchen many times. First in the design of it and then with all the pieces being put together! You can't believe how many times we were pleased when something slid right into place despite our crooked walls or funny oddities of this old house!
