Well, they finally got our sod down for the yard and it looks amazing. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks to having a sod yard is you have to water it constantly.. 20mins in the morning and 20mins in the evening.

Thankfully, there’s rain coming this weekend and I won’t have to futz with it.

Well, we’ve been in the new house since the 14th of December of 2007. Things have come together quite well. Only ONE room to sort out in the house and that will be the computer room. That has fallen by the wayside until our DSL is active which should be in the next day or so… hopefully.

Once that goes active, I’ll be concentrating on getting everything up and running and get it semi-back-to-normal.

Well, we finally finished up on Sunday. No, we weren’t moving things back and forth the entire time, but we had taken our moving truck back Friday night after we finished with all the big big stuff and used our vehicles to move the loose ends.

Finally turned the keys in to the office for the old place!! What a relief. Moving.. sucks, but its worth it

Well, today is the day that we close on our brand new home. We planned on moving most of everything tomorrow morning and afternoon, but unfortunately mother nature did not see it that way. We are now scrambling a bit to make sure we get the truck today so its waiting for us when we get home.

Thankfully, my brother will be showing up this evening to give us a hand. Wish us luck!

Yes.. I finally got around to getting some new images uploaded.

Ok, its been a long while since I last posted, but things have been quite busy for me and my family. We made a visit out to the construction site last weekend and they now have the final touches on. Well, most of them. Driveway is in, side walks are in, they have most of the exterior finished up.. A/C, gas lines, water, etc. The only thing on the outside that we see that still needs to be finished up is one of the outside faucets and the lamp post that will be out in the yard.

We are going to try and make a trip out again this weekend so I can get some pictures of the house as-is and get those posted. Yes, I’ve had my family and some friends say, “Where are the updated pictures!?!” Well, they are coming

I’ve just uploaded 5 new images to the gallery.  No new stages to report really; most of this is interior work going on now.  The only real major change now is that sheet rock is up, taped, and mudding done.  They also have the insulation in, of course, and the texture on the walls and ceilings.  Its really starting to look like a home now.  We are all very excited about this!

Well, we decided to go out to the house again yesterday and what we found was that the brick and all the electrical has been completed.  Amazing how fast they can work.  This means we aren’t too far off from closing on the home, me taking some vacation time off, and moving the family into the new home!  Yes!  ‘Bout damn time I would say!

New pics have been posted in their respective galleries.  Enjoy!

Just a small update to pass on.  My wife and I spun out to the house last night to take a look on the progress since we were out that way last weekend.  At this point, they have both of the bathroom tubs in place and plumbing seems to have started.  They also seem to have the HVAC ducting and the piping for that ready to go for the water heater as well.

They’ve also go the brick for our home on site and it looks like they will be putting shingles on and siding and getting ready to do the drive way in no time!

Sorry, no new pictures to post at this time.  Not enough of a change for us to warrant a new post

Stay tuned!
