The Push

The push is on as we get closer to our last weeks in Holland. The endless tasks of making the house completely ready are slowly being crossed off the list; some great news today is that our neighbors half of the building just sold- which means it is actually possible for us to find a buyer in the next month. We met with one realtor today and have a meeting on Monday with another.
James had a fever and had to be picked up from daycare yesterday- he was so sad and pathetic and hot- we treated with ibuprofen and rest and today he was off and on until about 5pm when it all just disappeared and he zipped around like his normal self again. It is crazy how fast they go from desperately ailing to revved back up.
He loves helping with anything around the house-

He always wears proper protection:

This is how you have to cut sheets of material in a tiny house when it is raining outside (as it has been for the last week). Its easy, you just walk in the gap between the sheets of MDF holding a running circular saw along the guide as your baby tries to sleep:



James loves being put up high to reach stuff and test out the light load bearing capacities of shelves...

More photos of nearly projects as we finish them off. I'll have to dig up a before picture of the bathroom- its just a little caulk and paint away from perfect now! This house will be perfect just in time to move...
