Little House in Minnesota - The Final Chapter

Yes!  The final chapter of our Little House.  This chapter begins on April 29th and ends on May 5th, at 12:07 AM when we pulled into the orchard and drug our tired bodies into bed. 

It is time to finish all of our projects and sell.

This home improvement story starts off with pruned fingers... Don't all home improvement adventures start off with pruned fingers?!?
One of the great benefits of a traveling job, is that the Apple Farmer earns points for free nights at hotels.  This just happens to be our first night up in Minnesota.  Which means a big day, and next day... and next day... and next day... and next day... will follow!


Little crazy fish!!

Big crazy fish!!

Grumpy fish... Daddy took him down the waterslide... 

Can we go down the slide one more time before we go back to our room?

No words needed here...



Arriving at the quiet little town where our little house resides!  We call it Little House, funny thing is, its actually bigger than the one we are living in on the farm!

Main street consists of a grocery, feed store, theatre ($2.00 tickets - playing Clash of the Titans and Ironman II), Pizza place and laundry mat (I now want my own laundry mat - maybe the Apple Farmer can build on a laundry mat off the back of the house... Three washers and three dryers... Laundry done in no time!!), and a fun little park!


The street that our Little House is on.  Isn't it sweet?


When it comes to home improvement, sometimes I can get a little grumpy and not really feel like taking photographs...  which explains why you won't see the holes in the wall when we were rewiring the bathroom and putting in a REAL light fixture in the bathroom, or the mudding and taping of the new wall that went up after the electrical stuff was done.  You also won't see pictures of the plumbing job that we actually finished this time.  You will just see the lovely new fixture attached to the plumbing.  You also won't see the wallpaper nightmare.....  All I can say is 8 layers over a span of 100 years....





The Apple Farmer teaches the little princes a new trick...





We are so proud...


Floor replacement surgery...

Don't you need some sort of a license to perform surgery?



Found this in the bathroom wall when we pulled out the medicine cabinet.  Found several others with 'brand new' blades.


Oooooh.  Ahhhhh.


The Apple Farmer is playing in the gutter....  Ha ha!




Cleaning up the air mattresses and packing up the blankets and pillows.  I got to scrub every last nook and cranny from upstairs to downstairs and handmopped us all right out the backdoor. 
Sigh!

Gonna miss our little house in Minnesota!
