Onward we go!

FLOORING
Thanks to Michael with Fiber Tech for installing the carpet (we got free from Ivan by the way) and the laminate flooring. It all turned out beautiful!

And not sure if I mentioned Flooring Liquidators is where we got our laminate flooring. They have huge selections, awesome pricing and were so helpful! Ask for Darin Tripp. Their web site is http://www.flooringliquidators.net/

BED
Next was thanks to my Daddy, Nick Comstock, for building my awesome bed exactly how I visioned it! This picture shows it completed and then after I stained it. There are now baskets in the cubbies. (Pictures coming soon)

LADDER TO LOFT
Next is a HUGE thank you to my uber talented sister-n-law, Colleen McCaa with McCaa Fab. She built this AWESOME ladder for Ethan's loft. She surprised me with the handles that look like branches. It is perfect!!! We just need to clean it up and clear coat it and we are good to go. My niece even helped on it. The picture of the welder is her. ;)

Colleen can make anything from fencing, gates, wrought iron decor and just about anything else you can think of.

MISC
Next, my sister gave us a great idea for our lack of a dining area to make a counter against the wall for dining! So, Alan and I built one here! It was so easy! Just shelf brackets and per-cut wood from Lowes, painted and stained and done!

The outside trim, baseboards, small closet door and the barn door for the bathroom were all installed and painted as well.

Mom and Dad came over and as my mom helped me with cleaning, my dad painted the bathroom barn door and the storage door to look aged! I was so excited! The colors turned out great! (In need of a Thesaurus, I'm running out of adjectives LOL ;) )

And finally, this past weekend, Alan and Ivan got our electricity up and running and we started to move in! Our first night was Sunday. Need to also thank our good friends, John William & Megan Jackson for their help Sunday with moving our stuff and helping to install the barn door and screen door. 👋

And.....here's the outside! Too cute, right? More pics to come as we settle in and get things put away. :)

Oh and we found a great deal on a fridge that had a dent in the back! Alan says angels sing when he opens the doors. Haha. It's because it has LED light inside!










































Dedicated to and in loving memory of my grandpa, Winford "WC" Hogan Sept. 12, 1923 - Feb. 8, 2013

So much has happened since I posted last. Both good and sad! My grandpa who I've mentioned before in this blog passed away on the 8th. I loved him so very much and will miss him like no one before! I will miss his stories most of all! His voice will forever be in my ears with words of advice and his instructions on driving, yard selling & construction. But I am grateful for our hope of seeing him again very soon when he will be young and healthy again in the Promised Paradise! (Revelation 21:3,4)
