Half Wall Love

We walked through our ENTIRE house today. This means we ventured [bravely] into the basement. I was very surprised to see that the basement floor was in and the furnaced was installed. That was pretty crazy to see. The basement is H.U.G.E. It's one thing to see it on a drawing and another in person. I am sure once we have lived in the house and filled the basement with drywall and furniture it will seem small... but right now it's gigantic. I'm also very happy that we installed the big window for the future bedroom. It will make me feel loads safer.

The other surprise was that they have installed the columns to the half wall and done the framing for it. I am in *love* with it. It is much better than I was imagining. We extended it to be able to fit our couch and it didn't mess with the walkways. I believe the peninsula will be towards the middle of the half wall... so if you're sitting at the breakfast bar, the TV would be visible. It's a really good layout.

Agreed.

Stop making 3D movies.

Under Construction... Again.

This day has not started out well. I had a very vivid nightmare last night... so I'm really tired this morning. I clicked on the site today and found out that my owly background is no longer hosted. Sad. While putting up the temporary fix, I hit something that made a whole slew of changes and now I've gone down a road I can't make a u-turn on. This is the temporary, temporary fix. Enjoy. Meh.

Latest Shack Shot

The progress on the house has been slow but steady. Siding is complete on all but one side. Still need to get brick on the right and front side of the house... for whatever reason it's come to a standstill. We do know that the electrical, plumbing and heating systems are in. The last time we walked through the electrical was almost finished... we were mainly guessing but it looked like some outlets still needed to go in - possibly telephone, cable or internet. Some of the switches for the speaker system were in. It did look like they were pretty generous (or just to code) with plugs in every room. The small guest bedroom upstairs had 5 outlets. Seeing the tons of switches made the house seem huge for whatever reason. I bet my electrician in the sky is looking over their work and smiting them when necessary. Well, less than 6 months to go... Ian and I actually started talking about the time we would take off for the move. C.r.a.z.y.

Simply. Awesome.

Max Quacks - Yeah, I'm Adorable

He was mighty interested in either the snow or his hand. My guess is his hand. =P

We Have Siding!

We are roughly where the red arrow is pointing to. I think I will be staying home from work tomorrow... hope to get home soon!
