We offically moved in last night.  This was partly because I had the water turned off in the old house too soon, but we are in. The cats are in, and I have the scratches to prove it.
 
 The dogs are in and loving the backyard. The fifty pound puppy was a bit freaked, and when […]

It began with the hundred year drought. The sky opened up on Monday and the rain has been falling ever since. We failed our final inspection on Monday because we did not have a railing around our basement steps. Ann jumped into action and by the time I got to the house, she […]

I have no photos, but I will tonight or tomorrow. We went out yesterday to take a light and it looks like a real house. The grader (grater?) finished it all up and picked up all the junk in the yard. It is an amazing job. The electrician hung all the fixtures, except […]

It is 5:45 AM, and this will be short. I hope to get out there this afternoon and take photos; it has been such a mess I have not wanted to for a while.
But today is different. Today we get a kitchen. The appliances arrive this morning, and the cabinets are going […]

Phew!  Whirlwind, but in a good way.  For the longest time I fantasized about moving into the house, but now that it is close I am fantasizing about the first day I will be able to actually sleep past five or six o’clock!!!
We still hope to be living there by the 25th.  It would […]

We are really getting near move in day. The dry wall is up, and it just has to be finished. I am told that will take a whole week. Everyone who has seen the sheet rock up has said the guy did a really good job. The fence is up except for the […]

Maudie is staying in the cat hospital for the night, and that is hopefully it.  They do not know what is wrong with her, but they hope to figure it out tomorrow. I certainly hope she is ok.
We interviewed deck guys today. One of them really had some good ideas, and I liked his perspective.  […]

That is what we did. We fired the crew of workers….or should I say nonworkers.  They finished the framing as the guys hung the drywall. They had the nerve to say we were their side job and that they could not promise when they would work. Well, we said bye.
 Today we are working on getting […]
