The carpet is almost in. The installers were here all day yesterday and will be back today to finish. Tomorrow, then, we will be heading back north to pick up the rest of our stuff. Jim borrowed two trailers, one sixteen foot and one twelve foot. We'll pull one and Jim and Kathy will pull the other with Jim's little red pickup truck. Hopefully we will be able to get everything in the two trailers and three vehicles (I still have to bring back the Hyundai Accent, so Ray and I will have a long, lonesome trip back this time).
We had frozen pipes twice. Lucky us, we came down here in the middle of an unusual cold streak. The first time we didn't have any damage to pipes but the second time the pipe to one of the outside faucets broke and a whole section fell to the ground. Ray just capped off the pipe, we won't need that any time soon and it got us our water back. We have borrow a propane torpedo heater from Jim that worked really fast in getting the pipes thawed.
My friend Maureen, daughter Shayna and the granddaughters came down for the weekend. It was nice seeing them, but I sure enjoyed the peace and quiet again after they left! Ray got a little depressed, though, he really missed the girls. He's all gung ho now for them to move down here. I'm mixed on that. They can if they need to, of course, but I think I'm getting too old to deal with the chaos of little kids.

Good to hear the progress! Congrats again. It's a really neat place, and from the pics, you are doing wonders in record time.
