House Update

The house continues to move along. We unfortunately had to push the closing back by 5 days, but in the grand scheme of things that’s not really anything to worry about. I have updated the set of pictures on Flickr as well.

The extended stay hotel where we are staying is interesting, to put it mildly. A bizarre collection of people are the extended stay, some of them I believe make their home there. For example, several boats take up spots in the parking lot, and it truly seems that these boats have not moved in many a moon.

So on August 24th we will be moving into the new place. Carrie will be monitoring the movers while I have to come in to work. We are also getting our cable/internet hooked up that following Saturday. It will be nice to have real internet at home again; the internet at the hotel is terrible.

All-in-all, the building process has been pretty straight-forward and not too stressful. We enjoyed picking all of the finishes as now we know it’s the house we want.

What is going to be fun is really making the house ours over the next few years. From our gardening plans to furniture to whatever else, it won’t happen overnight, but little by little we will settle in to our new home. And I am very much looking forward to that.
