Tucson House Progress Pictures

I HAD LOTS OF REQUESTS FOR PICTURES!

So here are a few to show you the progress of us moving in. We bought this as our "seasonal" house. Tucson has a much milder winter than Michigan. So we plan to spend our winters here. Eventually we plan to move out to Tucson permanently.

The outside of our new house at sunset time. This was a foreclosure house that we bought. It has a few problems but we think we can overcome them. Please spend a few moments to look through the progress of our moving in.

Here is the sunset the first night I was there. I arrived not too long before this picture was taken. It was cold in Michigan and much, much warmer in Arizona.

This picture shows our first used chair we got. It was quite dirty and has a hole in the back. But a bit of elbow grease got rid of the dirt and it was a welcomed relief to be able to sit down!

The water heater was there in the house so we didn't have to buy one of those. It has taken us a while to get it set for the right temperatures for our needs. Bob is the cook. It was hard to bend over and cook SLOWLY on this stove. We ate our dinners out a couple of times until we got everything installed.

As you can see, we have tubs that Bob brought with some of our stuff. The counter seems to be a spot for papers! The door in this picture goes out to the covered patio. It has a metal security door on the outside too. The floors are this nice tile. It needs to be cleaned though. The house has been empty for quite a while.

Click for a larger view.	This is the second used chair we bought. I needed a chair so I could work on my computer! This one was a bit dirty but the elbow grease helped with it too. It is a comfortable office chair and went into my "office" as soon as it was cleaned up.
