We're In!

On Wednesday, May 18, 2011 we got the go ahead to start moving in to our new home!

Because of work travel, this week was a bit confusing for us both.   When Hans got home on Wednesday he spoke with Steve Copp and Dennis Johnston at Above Treeline Construction, and they gave us the thumbs up!

Thanks to Michelle and Kurt Frilow, who loaned us their 24 foot snowmobile trailer, we were able to pack boxes, miscellaneous furniture items, and household goods at our leisure.  So, when we got the go ahead, we were ready with a trailer full of stuff to start moving in!  With the help of Michelle and Kurt Frilow and Rick Joslin and the use of the Frilows snowmobile trailer, Hans was able to move one load in on Thursday, May 19.

On Friday, May 20, with the help of Sally and Steve Campbell, Hans emptied our storage unit into the 24' trailer and another trip was delivered to our home.

When I got home from travel on Friday afternoon all we had left to do was the last minute items in our Teardrop home and the furniture for the movers!  This is what God means "with the help of friends, great things can happen!"  Dear friends got us into our home!

On Saturday, Char and Don LaBounty came to our home early and we loaded up the trailer, our vehicles and made our trip to our mountain home.  The final load, other than furniture, was complete!  A sea of boxes, floor to ceiling, and a bit overwhelming!

Char and Don were willing to stay and help us out...but we really wanted to do this on our own.  Even though it is a bit daunting, it's very gratifying to unpack, clean and wash, and find a new home for our belongings.

We spent our first night in our new home on a strange bed, in a new location, with the four puppies.  Strange sounds kept us awake, as we shared in our dream!

Some pictures to share in the chaos as well as the dream!

Our new living room/great room
...before furniture
Master bedroom before bed
Bathroom boxes...a beginning
Another view of master bedroom fireplace...
a great storage spot for boxes and junk!
The downstairs living room..
piles of stuff everywhere!
Boxes?  Oh, my!
And more boxes...stacked floor to ceiling!
Another view of more boxes!
At least we had a walkway through the maze!
A downstairs bedroom...
in their somewhere!
And the other guest bedroom!  Full
of the Klossner treasures...or trash?!
