etc.

Here are a few things that weren't done when we moved in.

Here are the outside lights:


the kitchen tile:



and the front door.




I know, we all miss the Budwiser door, but it will live on in our memories.

we're in

The move went well, despite some rainstorms. However we couldn't fit everything into the truck, so we still have to make some trips from the apartment with the van.

There are still workers at the house today: painters, kitchen tile grout guy, and the person staining our front door.

Phone and cable is quite the issue. I don't want to malign a company in this pubic forum so I won't use it's name. "Cromcast" is giving us the run around. And I won't bore you with the details, but we won't have phone, cable or internet service until next week! If it wouldn't take two weeks to go with another provider, we would be kicking Cromcast to the curb. Very frustrating. And if you need to contact us, use our cell phones. But don't worry, we'll be at the apartment quite a bit to check email and I can call to retrieve phone messages.

The house feels like home already. We're very happy. The kids all like their rooms. A big thank you goes out to Laura for helping them get all set up. And another big thank you to all of the grandparents and friends who have kept J occupied while we're moving in.

No time to take pictures yesterday. but here's the gist of the whole house.

the move has been moved

Tuesday became Thursday. A few more things had to fall into place. Open items include:

second coat of finish on the floors
kitchen tile
final sanding and treatment of granite
low voltage wiring
and some other small details

In the mean time here's the only picture I have to offer.
You cannot tell from this photo that any of the aforementioned things are pending:
