Finally got the internet set up in our new house

Here is an update of the progress we are making on the house... only 11 more work days until our foster care inspection.

Matt's dad came to visit us for 10 days and helped out tremendously. We have everything moved out of the old house and are now officially into the new house. The heater doesn't work yet but we are 98% positive we may have fixed the problem without buying a new furnace. Cross your fingers for us. We try it out tomorrow. Good thing it hasn't been too cold.

ok here's our current progress.
