I got a new job

Sort of.  Instead of working on Social Security Disability cases I will be working on Medicaid cases.  It’s the same building and same pay.  It’s a little different in how cases are processed and the rules we have to follow are a little different, and less strict.  The up side is that there are no more QA reviews and no more stupid SSA policy changes.  Overall, I think the job will be a better fit for me though and that’s what matters.

House Pictures

Well, after the long wait we have added pictures of the finished house.  There are couple pictures that I didn’t get but we will take more pictures once we get all the furniture situated.  Take a look and enjoy the beauty.

Loft project

I added picture of the loft area, a.k.a. the Man Space.  I can’t decide how to position the furniture yet.  Right now I have two options but will add picture of the 3rd option soon.  It just involves more furniture being moved.

Option 1 and 2 are pretty much the same except for the love seat being moved.  Both options work but option 2 blocks off the room and give you about 4 feet of dead space behind it.  You have to walk around the love seat to get into the “room”.  Option 1 is more open but it still have a lot of wasted space. 

Ideas?

New Pictures

Well, apparently the pictures I thought I took of the finished out weren’t actually taken.  But I do have two new pictures of the outside of the finished house.  Sorry everyone waited for pretty much nothing.

As most of you know Jenna was in a wreck last week.  She is for the most part okay but is having some pain and tingling in her arm.  She is also having some memory issues that the doctor attributes to stress and pain.  This could very well be true she still a CT scan today just to make sure nothing got damaged.  She will also likely need an MRI if her arm and hand issues don’t clear up.  We’ll keep you posted.  I put some pictures up of the car if you are interested.  Right now we are looking at about $5,000 in damages but that insurance company says it’s not totalled yet.  There is also some frame damage but the body shop and the adjuster insisted that it can be repaied and be fine. 

 Oh, and make things even better.  They guy didn’t have insurance.  How awesome is that?

Pictures soon..

I promise I will get pictures up soon so check back.  There will also be some pictures of furniture arrangements that I would like some opinions on.  I can’t decide how to set up the loft so be sure to vote. 

We have had a lot of interest in the old house recently with about 5 viewings in the last week.  I guess marking the house as vacant on the MLS helped.  Hopefully someone will want to buy because two mortgages is not something we are looking forward to with excitement.

I hate moving

Moving is a pain.  Even with hiring movers, moving is a pain.  You would think hiring movers to move the furniture would make things easier but it doesn’t.  You still have a billion boxes to move on your own and then you have to UNPACK everything!  Unpacking is no fun either.  Tip: Label boxes clearly.  Don’t just put “Kitchen” or “Bedroom” on it.  It took us a day and a half just to find the freakin’ toilet paper! 

It will be a few more weeks before the house looks nice but once we get stuff unpacked and cleaned we will post some pictures.  Until then, just image stacks of boxes and furniture at weird angles.

House is almost done

We had our walk through yesterday afternoon.  The main problems were minor paint issues that will be fixed and few odds and ends.  Overall the house looked great.  (I will try to get up pictures later.)  We have one more walk through on the 25th and then we close on the 26th.

The old house is still for sale so it anyone knows someone in the market for a gently used townhouse send them our way.  We lowered the price a little and we have had more interest the past week so hopefully we will get some offers soon.  Though, I don’t know why people haven’t made offers previously.  Freakin’ hippies.

Slacker

That’s the best way to describe me these days.  Sorry for the delays in updating but nothing new has been going on.  We have the first walk through on the new house next Tuesday.  We will try to take some pictures so you can what the finished house looks like.  At least, what it looks like before we mess it up by moving in. 

New pictures

New pictures are up.  Now you can see what the inside looks like with drywall!  It’s shaping up nicely with a few things that will need to be addressed.

Fixed for now

And for the record, I did not blame Gary.  I just know he didn’t know how to fix it and didn’t want to help.  So no more movies for Gary.

As you can see the site is fixed for now.  I still have no idea what was wrong with it.  At this point I don’t care just as long as it doesn’t happen again.
