We got possession at around 5 p.m. on Wednesday the 4th. This, of course, was three weeks after our targeted closing date. Given that our house was rented as of Saturday morning, we needed to move our things ASAP. Lynda and Terry had rented a Uhaul and the boys spent the night moving our things to the new farm as the girls spent the evening painting, cleaning, and discovering the new house.
 The first of many trips. |  Unloading the mattress. |
Lynda made quick work of the grease behind the stove.
Kate getting straight to work on painting.
Several things quickly became apparent: the house had no water, no heat, and virtually no cleaning for the last decade.
Not to be thwarted, we figured this was simply the first of many discoveries that we would make in our new house. And, of course, we were right.
