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?
Not totaled yet?
Seriously! At this point the damage done to my vehicle is roughly 5K, including the bent frame that the body shop and Nationwide plan to have fixed. Now they may find more once they start repairing the damage. The car is still not totaled. I am afraid that it will take another 4 grand to do so. Does that just seem ridiculous to anyone other than me? Can’t wait to get my bent frame car back! Oh! Can I please have it back? So, why haven’t they totaled it yet? Got me!
Car Go Bang!
Yes, tis true; someone has smashed into the back of my Rav4. Car Go Bang made for an interesting week. Last Wednesday at about 5:32 PM on Rock Quarry Road an Italian man decided he wasn’t going to use his breaking system and used mine instead. I saw him coming I just couldn’t get out of the way fast enough and right up underneath of my car he went.
No one stopped. No one called the police. My cell phone? I left it at home on the counter. Now, some of you know how paranoid I can be at times. We all watch the news and see the freakish stories. I was terrified that I would be on the 6 o’clock news and not in a good way.
At about the time where I started loosing consciousness the man who so abruptly introduced his car to mine called Jason. Jason had asked me if I had called the cops. All I could say is no, you need to do that. I am glad he did.
The driver, with only a license to drive fleet cards and no insurance had asked me several times not to call the cops. Not that I could with having leftl home without my phone. I felt stranded!
My car did not look all that damaged however, the back doors do not open anymore. The muffler makes a beautiful put-put-put and the weather stripping on the front windshield is all wrinkled. I called the body shop today (the car has been there since last Thursday) and I was told the car is still not finished being evaluated. I am okay with that. I would rather them take the time and do it right. When I asked him how it was looking his exact words were, “Look’ in kinda rough” and I just couldn’t believe it.
We will be mailing out our new address cards within the next week. I will say I was able to get them super cheap thanks to www.vistaprint.com. They aren’t spectacular but they do the trick.
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.
Catching up
There are only 32 days until we close on our new house. A little nerve racking being that we have not sold our current home. The winds are changing. They’ve got to be. We currently have a distinguished unit house on the market; none other for sale in the neighborhood is like ours in looks.
Meanwhile at the new house a 24 ton AC unit was installed this week. Can you say BREEZY! I like it. The hardwoods in the living room, dining room and hall are completed. They look nice. We also have a driveway and sidewalk. Jason would not let me carve our names in the wet concrete. They look nice. This week, the builder will install a new cabinet in the kitchen (the one they installed has a gash in it) trim out the walls with toe kick, and complete painting.
This weekend we took measurements for our windows so that we could price some window treatments. We have a lot more windows to dress this move.
I have a final exam tomorrow for the CNA class I am taking. Before some study time today, Christopher, Justin, Granny and I went for a swim. I forgot how nice a pool is when it is 90 degrees outside. Our new neighborhood will not have a pool. Today, for a brief moment I thought I would miss it.
