Almost there…
It’s been a few weeks since my last post, so I am going to cram 6 weeks of stuff into a single post.
First, the house is coming along great. As of today, the stucco is on the outside, waiting for the final coat. Inside the house, we have drywall up and finished. My dad has been over there pretty much everyday since last monday painting the inside walls. We also have all of the doors up including the garage doors, the only exception is one that we are waiting to have delivered.
So right now, once the painting is finished, cabinets and counters will go in. Afterwards, the floor can go in, and then the lights and stuff. The outside is basically waiting for the final coat of stucco, but we are waiting for the stucco company to get the color right. Once they are finished the roof tiles go on thats it. So (cross your fingers) we can be finished in 4-6 weeks. The only real hold up right now is getting power to the house. Hopefully they will be finished before that time.
On a personal level, my snake died a couple weeks ago. Though, most people wont understand it, he was a really cool pet. Also, he was 17 years old. So that is a long time for any pet. And to put it into perspective, I bought him when I was in the Army. Erin took it pretty bad too. Spot (his name) stayed in her room, as that was the only place we could keep his cage. So after he was gone, Erin was sad that her friend wasnt there anymore. On the lighter side, I tried to feed him when I noticed he was dying. So we gained a pet in the form of a rat. Erin loved the little guy, and called him Ratatouille, after the movie. Only she called him Ratatootie. Ratatootie has since found a new home in the form of Pet Co. The were kind enough to take him back after I explained the story.
OK, I guess this wasnt as long as I first feared. It also shows me that as busy as we always are, not much really happens. Weird.
Ayways, God Bless, have fun and take care.
