Move Scheduled!!

We scheduled the big move today with Roadrunner Moving and Storage for Friday, November 28, 2008. They moved us into our place 4 1/2 years ago so we thought we would use them again since we had such a great experience. It should be quite the spectacle when they hoist our couches 2 flights down out of the dining room window. There is something about hoisting up that seems safer then going down but what do I know. Either way, I am glad that 4 strong men (not including Chris) will be helping with the move. I just hope that everyone still isn't in a tryptophan coma from Thanksgiving the day before.

Let's keep our fingers and toes crossed that everything remains on schedule with the house!!

Exterior Updates

It has been a couple of weeks since Chris and I stopped by to visit the house so we were very excited to drop by yesterday. When we rounded the bend of BHL the first thing we noticed was shutters, then a real paved driveway and fence, then landscaping and hydroseed!! What a difference two weeks made. And since I was driving, I got to take the new Subaru onto the driveway for the first time. It's going to take a little getting used too....maybe a couple or one day. I have already decided that I want the first garage bay :-)

While we were milling around the yard, we also met another set of neighbors. They seemed very nice and are certainly happy that construction on the street will be wrapping up soon!!

It will be nice when the Johnny-on-the-spot isn't a permenant fixture.

OooooAhhhh, Insulation and Dry Wall

On our most recent visit to BHL, we were greeted by insulation and drywall. Yay!! We are going to be warm and have walls. Yippee!! It is amazing how much more cozy feeling the rooms are now with just some pink stuff and white boards (my non-contractor terms) being put up.

We also picked up samples for floor tiles, carpeting and kitchen sink granite so we have some choices to make before next Wednesday. Decisions, decisions.

Backyard Coming Along

The backyard has been cleared of ledge/stone and has been blanketed with loam just waiting for grass to be planted. It is looking good but since some ledge still remains off to one side (right side of the pics), it is smaller then we had hoped it would be. Even so, it will still be great for BBQs and fun!!
