Goodbye House
we left the house yesterday. the buyer’s inspector was just showing up. let’s hope that went well.
also trashed my home-improvement shoes. lots of miles on these, all within the boundaries of this lot (well, and to the dump & back)
moving toward moving
so, we’re getting there. slower than i would have liked, but we’re getting there.
first, news: the house is subject to inspection. so, hopefully all will go well tuesday and we will have sold our house.
second, carrie is back in town and helping me to liquidate our remaining possessions here. we’re hoping to have it all sorted out by tomorrow.
third, that means that on sunday, we could leave on our 2nd trip. i will blog about it here, but the second trip will be the “fun” one.
and of course i quit my job, as i mentioned before. it only took 3 days for me to stop seeing a clock and thinking “i need to be in X or Y meeting.”
stone cold!
yeah, here’s what i’ve been doing for the past week. i even managed to grievously injure myself in the process! read through to see all the progress.
9 yards of stone
8 yards of stone
7 yards of stone
4 yards of stone
3 yards of stone
2.5 yards of stone
1.5 yards of stone
0.25 yards of stone
no stone!
our new garage door
so, we purchased a garage door. it was a demo unit at a local door store called, “the door house.” their retail store is painted purple with multi colored stripes and accents. guess what the demo door we purchased looks like?
NEEDS. PRIMER. NOW.
Rocks!
quick quiz: which garden tool will i be spending the next few days with?
sadly, not my hoe.

sneak preview: kitchen
okay, here’s a sneak preview of the kitchen. the marble & backsplash have 3 coats of sealer, so it’s essentially done.
for those that have seen the kitchen “before” you know this is a big deal. heh.
21 days update: things are rolling
21 days until our trip, and we’ve got momentum on the big projects. the kitchen is still sitting at around 90% complete. have to caulk, paint, and install the stick-down floor. oh and finish sealing the countertops/backsplashes.
bathroom is where it’s really happening. tub surround and floor are tiled & grouted. tub plumbing (supply & waste) are done & solid (no leaks). lighting & GFCI outlet installed.
drywall installed, taped & first mud coat (thanks, ross!). shower tile & grout partially sealed. tonight, 2nd coat of mud (thanks again, ross!) finish sealing grout & tile. then maybe switch our attention back to the kitchen while we wait for the bathroom floor sealer to cure.
fun! i look forward to not working 15 hrs/day on the weekends. this vacation will truly be a vacation!
