Tina, why don't you share the photo-diary of your house-move - it lends a
new meaning to the phrase!

If I were closer, I'd help you move! We bought an old farmhouse that had
been abandoned for two years and was right on a busy highway. We considered
tearing it down and starting over, but it has 11 foot ceilings and lots of
undiscovered charm. We're still working on discovering it. We moved the
house back 300 yards from the highway and put a full basement under it.
Right now we're sleeping in the dining room while we paint and wallpaper the
bedroom.
Sometimes I think it would have been smarter to move into an assisted living
community but we are really enjoying our farm and birds and garden.
Hope your move is equally enjoyable!
Tina
