Robert


Haven't had one of these for awhile...

Sided and Stoned


We were at the house today... siding and stone work are complete. Inside is taped and spackled, and ready to be painted this week. The banisters, cabinets, and fixtures will be installed soon, as well. Sidewalk is poured and the walkway (leading from front door to garage) will be poured too. Everything is coming together very quickly... it won't be long before we're in!

interior: view to Family Room, take from kitchen

Changes are everywhere!

Sorry folks... no new pics of the house. We went by on Sunday. The interior was completely drywalled and the siding on the exterior was completely up. We'll take some pics next time we go by. We are really starting to count down... it's getting so close!

Meanwhile, we haven't had any bites on our current home. We had an open house on Sunday. We are really trying to get it rented through the winter. That will, at least, defer some of expenses. We are not looking forward to having 2 mortgages. ugh.

I have started a new job. Same company, new location. I LOVE it. So much so that I may consider going back to full time through the winter. I am working with an old co-worker (whom I adore) which makes it fun. I will talk to my supervisor about full time opportunities once we get settled in the new house. I'd like to help out financially as much as possible as long as we have 2 mortgages. ugh again.

In other news.... Robert is going to be a BIG BROTHER! We found out in July that Tiny Trif will be arriving in March - actually the same date that Robert was due.... March 21st. I have been feeling okay. I have a day here or there that I feel absolutely awful, but 80% of the time I am feeling good. Everyone says "New House, New Baby"

So, thats all from us this week. I'll post pics of the house as soon as I can. We are scheduled to close on September 15th! yikes!

Framing Walk-thru



This morning we had our "Framing Walk-thru." We needed to confirm that all electrical outlets and such were properly placed before the drywall goes up. We expect that soon we will be seeing some exterior changes (stone and siding).
