Running water

Yes folks, it’s actually happened.  We finally have running water in the house!

Now all we have to do is pray the plumbers know how to solder and that there aren’t any leaks.  They were of course supposed to pressure test the system after they put all the pipes in, but we know for a fact [...]

Counters have begun

I asked the countertop guys to please have the kitchen sink mounted and ready for the plumbers that are supposed to show up today and they did that. Only that, but at least they did it.

The sink is full of dust from the drilling of the faucet holes, but someday it will be [...]

Ahhhh…..

This long holiday weekend was exactly what Guy and I needed. I want to say thank you to all of our friends and family who stopped by and made this weekend a ton of fun, and to those who couldn’t make it we missed you but will see you at what will surely be [...]

Baby steps ….

Well, the meeting I had with Levi on Tuesday seems to have spurred a little more activity, inching us closer and closer to completion.  He had the dumpster removed today, and the electricians came and finished re-working their LAME grounding job.  I got a small amount of their re-work inspected,  but I didn’t have time to [...]

Oh. My. God

So over it

I will apologize in advance for today’s whine. I’m just in a mood.
I am so over this house. At this point I really feel like I couldn’t care less if it ever got done (other than all the money we’re paying of course). We’re so close to being finished. Really, two [...]

Oh Mother Nature

Why do you torture us?  Today was supposed to be grading day, and you drop inches of rain on us?  Cruel, cruel woman you.

Miscellany

Just some odds and ends from the past week/weekend.
The electricians hung the ceiling fan in the living room. It works really well at stirring up the heat generated by the fireplace (which we are still using because it’s been in the 50’s around the house for the past two weeks now).

Guy spent a ton [...]

Unbelievable

I wasn’t going to write about this because I’m sure no one really wants to hear it, but I want to have it written somewhere so that Guy and I can refer to it later when we go to settle finances with the builder.
Yesterday the electricians were back at the house continuing their work on [...]
