The New Digs

     Well its about as done as I can get it without Shelly here. The house still needs a few things to be complete. One thing is blinds in the windows. I'm not sure why the district did not have these to put in, but they didn't so we are waiting for those (so don't mind the towels over most the windows). Another problem is that our front door doesn't fit correctly with the frame so there is a pretty sizable gap between the front door and the jam. This causes snow and water to come into the arctic entry and make a mess. This too is supposed to be fixed soon, however the contractor, supplier and district are all pointing fingers to whose problem this is so it could be a while before that is fixed. Who would of thought that you need to have doors that fit in Alaska. It only gets well below zero with daily winds of 10-20 mph not to mention it SNOWS. Other than those couple of things the house is really nice. I'm going to stop talking now because I know most of you just want to see pictures.

 Shelly and my bedroom

 It's a pretty good size room

It even has a bookshelf, perfect for Shelly

     I forgot one more thing that will make this place complete. Its missing Shelly, Logan, Jack and Wyatt. Once they get here It will feel like a home. When I talk with Shelly on the phone she can hear my voice echoing. I am excited for Shelly to decorate and make it feel a little more cozy here. I am also excited for the boys to finally see the "Alaska House."
