Day 252, January 7th, 2014

So this morning we're on standby. I get up, I get ready for work (just in case) and wait. The clock turns 8 and no call. The clock turns 8:30 and no call so Jordan decides to go to work. I proceed to wait because Steve said if any issues happen, he'll let us know by 9. The clock turns 9 and nothing. By 9:15 I can't wait any longer and proceed to phone Steve. Steve answers and lets me know that the house IS coming and that the papers are off the desk. I get off the phone with Steve and get ahold of Jordan and say, the house is coming! He's not at the farm as he's hauling straw and we still have a ton of snow to push! Oh no.... I ask what I can do and he says that I can start shoveling the tarp. I go to his place and grab the plastic shovel, let his mom know whats going on and headed over to his place to start shoveling.
I start shoveling and that was quite the chore. The snow had packed on top of the tarp so you had to break through the snow and than pick up the chunks and throw them out of the way. By the time I was a quarter done the tarp, Jordan arrived with a tractor and immediately started pushing snow. By the time I was half done the tarp, Jordan was done in the field and started moving snow in the yard and came up on the pad to start cleaning that and help me finish. Thankfully because I tell you, I was pooped!
We got the call after we had pretty much finished moving snow, Jordan was just moving it around, that the house was only a few miles away. I rushed to meet them at the corner only to see them drive by, lol. They backed up and than turned and started heading down the road. I pulled into Jordan's and got out of the way and grabbed my camera, of course, and started taking a few pictures. I did not go crazy with this.
Waited a little bit for them to gather their bearings and figure out how they were going to do it and than they started pulling the house in! Now the nerve wracking moments happen, trying to get the house up on the pad. Eek! Saw the house do weird things and eventually they got it. Unfortunately, when they pulled the house in, the driver hit a big mower(that was NOT in the way) and took out a tree! So damage was done to the house but we know this will be repaired.
Eventually they got it blocked and leveled and we were able to go inside and examine the damages to the interior. Nothing major. Pretty much what we were expecting. Some minor cracking/separating in the ceiling, some of the panel covers are either bowed or popped off. One of the window frames moved a bit but a lot of this could change once the house has warmed up and shifted again.
By the end of it all, I was extremely excited, I was tired and I was COLD!!!!
I'm so excited to say the house is finally here and now to wait on hydro to come hook up the electricity and for the garage to be built!

We are getting there!!!!!
