Things are looking so great. The wood floor and tile is going in today, the carpet will hopefully be in soon, the appliances are coming tomorrow and we're going to try to move some things in this weekend!!! I can't wait to get out of the camper...it is sooooo muddy at home. I've been driving the truck from the camper over the the house to shower in the morning! Hunter just lookes at me like I'm crazy cuz I just drive across the driveway and get out again!!! Hey, it's better than walking and getting stuck in the mud! I am getting so excited...I can see the end!!! I'll get more pictures up as things get finished!
