New Ride

Forms are up

New house stuff

We finalized our selections today for the new house. They should be breaking ground in the next week or two.



This is our brick and stone on another house.



Carpet, tile on the left is going in the upstairs baths



This is the master bath granite, travertine floor and shower. Shower floor and shower accent tiles are the little squares.




Kitchen Granite and backsplash

Here are the cabinets with the kitchen granite. Wood floors for the first floor except carpet in the master bedroom and tile in the master bath

Here is our lot. It goes a little farther on each side so it is pretty good sized.

5th times a charm!

Only 15 weeks and we are finally completed with our bathroom remodel. Needless to say we wont be recomending The Showroom to anyone that we like. It is amazing the lack of work-ethic some people have. We would go days between seeing anyone show up at our house to work on the bathroom. One story came out that the tile guy had gotten picked up on an arrest warrent so he wasn't able to come for a few days. I guess until his people could raise the bail or something like that. Exactly the kind of people you want to have access to a key to your home. Anyway, in the end a lot of the delay came down to the counter top. I guess the material we picked in combination with the fact that our walls aren't exactly square caused the counter top to be broken 4 times during installation. All it took was the owner of the company to show up and the 5th one went in without any problems. Oh, I guess there was some good news. They only lost Buster once. I came home from work one evening and was greated by Buster as usual. Later, I checked our messages and there was one from a lady claiming to have seen Buster almost a half mile away from the house. She said he got away just after she got the phone number off his collar. We still don't know how he got back to the house. Some nice neighbor must have brought him back. So, while it was pretty stressful and VERY dirty, it did turn out pretty nice.

Bathroom Renovations

We have been thinking about looking for a new house but since the market isn't spectacular we decided to stay here a few more years. So, we decided to do a little work on our master bathroom. On Thursday they gutted the existing bathroom. They are telling us it will be about 6 weeks, hopefully it doesn't take any longer then that!!!

Long Road Ahead

Well, not suprisingly, as B0b started taking the car apart he was finding more and more things he didn't like about how it had been done. So, the car is now almost completely dismantled and Bob's been hard at work fixing things to his satisfaction.
