We drove by the site where the house stood, for the first time since it was moved. The church has done nothing, although they had rushed us because they "needed to move forward."

Update: August 5
All the material is now in the barn, so this stage of the project is finished. I have mixed feelings about it...I'm sad that the house is no longer standing, and a bit frustrated that I didn't get to participate in taking it apart, and frustrated that some of the material didn't survive the process. However, I realize that this was the only way we were going to get a historic house (or facsimile thereof) on our property. I have no idea when the "next stage" will begin...there are these things called time and money that we don't have enough of...

They started moving the materials! Here are a few pics that Eric (the contractor) sent from our barn.

Well, things look a little more organized today (and COVERED, to some extent at least). We had some drama this week with all the rain, but we can only hope for the best. We're still a bit worried about the flooring, which didn't get covered at all.

omg! Well, my goodness...speechless! We hadn't been able to make it over there at all this week due to work, and when we arrived today, it looked liked the house had exploded!
