New House - 14 Oct

The big day finally arrived and we started our move into our new house.

The house is located on the Makalapa Compound across from Pearl Harbor Naval Base and the Arizona visitor's center.  The house is an old shaded neighborhood and a half mile from Chuck's office.  It was built in 1942 and restored about a year and a half ago.

Here it is.

No garage, but a two car carport with interesting canvas shades on three sides.  They are opened and closed through ropes and pulleys.  Very nautical.

Backyard.

Lanai.

Den and playroom looking out back.  As with the last five places we've lived the couch and love seat don't fit again.  Might have to finally breakdown and replace.  Ouch.
There is no central AC so the house has split AC.  Each room has it's own unit built into the top of a wall.  You can see the unit in this room just to the left of the door.  They are actuated via remote control.  

Some features from it's pre-AC days - windows that open from the guest bedroom to the stairwell.

Ah, the fun of moving.  Storage is a little tight so we're crossing our fingers this stuff will fit.

Making Grandparents shiver - a young family with a garage full of moving boxes.

Come visit sometime.
