Blue Box is Home

   Last weekend we finally got to spend a couple of days working on our rental property. I have been cleaning the kitchen and Steve and Stevie were working outside on demolishing the greenhouse. The greenhouse was full of junk and did not look nice. Hannah kept running back and forth between inside and outside. We made good progress and made a list of items we need to buy to make minor repairs.
   Steve also continued to research online how to install a wood stove. We had someone come in on Monday to give us an estimate on wood stove installation. He was very unprofessional and really did not know much about the process. He said that they would get back to us on Thursday or Friday with an estimate but we have not heard back from him. It does not matter whether they get back to us or not as we have decided that Steve will install it himself. And he got started this week.







   Right now we are just waiting for a dry day to make the hole in the roof to install the chimney. We hope to be able to complete the installation on Monday.
   We were also waiting for a day when the ground is dry to bring the Big Blue Box home. We needed the grass area next to the drive way to be dry and firm so that we could turn around with the trailer. It snowed on Friday and the temperature never got above freezing on Saturday. That meant that the ground stayed firm enough and we went to the storage place to get the trailer. 

Trailer hooked up and ready for the final trip

We made it

The Blue Box is almost empty

Little helpers

   The trailer is now empty and all of hour belongings are in the house. We will clean the trailer up and paint the floor of the trailer and then put it up for sale.
