Crossing a lot of fingers for a safe journey -- which makes it very hard to type! :lol:

Stacey, please keep us posted; I'm trying to type this with fingers crossed on both hands.

Hoping for a better result for you this time.

[Stacey6163]

Thank you!! And you're right, it is hard to type with your fingers crossed,lol. I'll be sure and let you know, I can hardly wait!!

[Violet2Dawn]

Oh...see the stash is never complete. Good luck with your bashing and building!

My gorgeous, gigantic Hofco made it safe and sound! It was quite the adventure getting it home, first off the bus station wasn't where it used to be, but we did find it, in a mall with a job fair going on. The box was huge, bigger than me, and I had my doubts about it fitting in the Jimmy, off to a real good start,lol. So picture me going backwards with the huge box on a dolly, trying to maneuver around tables of employers, lots of job hunters and even some mall walkers, and of course people are looking and asking what's in the box? It took ten minutes to get it out to the truck. Next was the look on my son's face and he starts ranting that it wasn't going to fit,blah,blah,blah...........I told him it was and started ripping off the outer box, even though I wasn't sure that it would fit. But after that and moving a few things around we got it in there, whew!!! I didn't get it brought in until the next afternoon but it was worth the wait, I love it!! So I've been online shopping for siding, trims, interior doors, all the goodies.....I'll post some pictures soon.

Oh yay!! So happy for this wonderful outcome for you and the house! Enjoy, and can't wait to see pictures!

Congratulations Stacey!

I'm looking forward to pics!

[havanaholly]

Oh, Stacey, I'm SO glad! for you. {hug}

[Stacey6163]

Thanks everyone! It came with a new Bell tape wiring system and I'm going to try and electrify it, a new experience for me. I've read through the instructions and think I can pull it off. I worked last night on making some interior doors and trim and am picking out wallpapers and flooring. But I need to tackle the wiring first. John has been working on the Victorian farmhouse kit upstairs in his workshop, he has all the missing pieces made but one, ran out of plywood, but is moving right along on it. Last night he came down and went over and started looking in my stash, and picked up the Aster Cottage kit and took it up to start on. Said he needed something to work on until he could get to the Depot for more wood. I think he's hooked !!

It sure has been an adventure so far with this house, hasn't it Stacey? Its going to be beautiful when its done!!! Enjoy the ride!

[Stacey6163]

That it has been,lol. I've got siding, tile flooring, wood for the floors and a wood trimmed bathroom set on the way. Now to figure out the color scheme.
