PIL Finally Moved In

Yes, they moved in when MIL came home from the hospital after surgery. She was very nice for two days. After that, she was back to her grumpy, psychotic self again. She still drives everyone nuts and eaves dropping on every conversation, and wants to always the center of attention. When she gets tired you better not be around because she will find reasons to throw you out of the house.

Other family member thinks FIL is a lot better looking after moving back in with us. He got his own office to hide every time his wife turned psychotic, and doesn't know reality from imagination.

Well, that's all for now. If you look on the right side back, we are having a very cold weather. Our side of the house is looking better everyday. I do not go crazy with fixing and painting. I only do it when my children lessons permit. Have a great last day of November. I can't wait for warmer temperature and longer sunshine.

Yes, I'm Still Alive :D

I am now live from CHESTNUT RIDGE FARMS. We moved here on October 27, 2013. Today is the very first day I am able to rest and blog about our new place. We call this the in-law suite. Most of the furnitures are our extra or we don't use anymore.


PIL new bedroom set-up...


We knocked-down a wall between two 8x15 bedrooms, now it is 16x15. SIL & her DH painted it yellow with white ceiling and green trim, with blue curtains.


FIL new office (8x15) separate from their bedroom. I was going to paint it light peach but BIL said it will blend in with the white moldings and ceilings. However, I was planning on changing the molding color to light yellow or orange. Oh well, he got it done, and that's all matter.


This their living room. I painted and picked the colors to have a very happy color. It used to be light green & brown. I am happy with the outcome. Very cheerful colors. My SIL (DHs' sis) picked the curtain color. DH made a comment, "my wife picked the very cheerful color and you got that color curtain!" with a smile. True though, she should have picked something with flowers or something. But she helped and that is what we are looking for, "help." We need to look for free coffee & end tables @ craigslist and buy a few cheery paintings to complete the setting.


I'm not going to show the dining/kitchen area yet, because we are still using it. Our big kitchen is not finish yet and our groceries are still inside many shopping bags on the floor. However, I will post a pic of the beginning work in the big kitchen.

Plumber/Electrician Update

Well, he said yesterday that he will be done at the end of the week. Not really sure if he was talking about only the kitchen or the whole house. I guess I need to wait and see.

However, here are the photos update.


Most of the above mess are gone. Floor padding are in place.


Back door and back wall all clean too.


Our new back door with glass, DH bought the door with glass because that is what I wanted to be able to see through the deck and see the woods at the back yard. Our carpenter will put a hole on the door for  a cat door.


The only thing left in the above picture is the plumbing plastic pipe. Our plumber/electrician will move it close to the corner as possible, then DH will box it in and insulated. Water pipe will be push up to the studs along with the waste plastic pipes.

That's all for now, more packing because we only have twenty days left in our house now. The title will be transfer on October 28 to the new owner (our neighbor children). We are so glad that we don't even have to put our house in the market. Our neighbor knew about our move and they decided to buy it instead.
