It’s been yet another two weeks and some more things have happened..

First of all, let’s talk about the house.  We got all our kitchen cabinets in and set, they look great (sorry no pictures today).  We are supposed to have the counter tops in and mounted this weekend.  After that, we have just a few rooms left to put trim up in.  The original woodwork trim that we pulled out, cleaned, sanded and stained are going back up.  We have the hallway, Jake’s room and some of the dinning room done.  We need to finish up Jennifer’s room, the living and dinning room.  It’s looking much better.

Also last week I started to work at TCR again.  We are doing the play Fences.  It’s a pretty powerful show, it’s actually pretty good.  As always there are little things that happen that make you roll your eyes.. and then we have the tech problems.  Last weeks tech problems were fun.  We had a small power surge during our opening night and made the whole of the stage lights flicker on and off (like someone flipping a switch on and off) for the whole of the second act.  On Sunday we had sound issues, the computer that runs the sound was having memory  issues and was not found until 10 minutes before house opened.  We did get that fixed up and working just fine however.

Coming up next is the closing of Fences this weekend (the 29th) and hopefully I’ll be able to get some good quality time in Azeroth, with LittleSister and in Paradise City.. Yes that’s right, I’m sure some of you got the references out there.

As well, I’ve started a new knitting blog and a new project as well.  I’m close to half done with it.  This is something, currently, I’m working on while waiting for things to happen backstage (between scene changes, and during intermission).

Hello again world.. It’s another week, a whole new month of 2009.

Today is, of course, groundhog day.  Poor phil saw his shadow which means we have 6 more weeks of winter.  I got to thinking, doesn’t he USUALLY see his shadow, I can’t remember a time where he hasn’t.  But I must due my duty and watch the movie today.. Get that out of my system.

As well, this weekend I got to play some more WOW.. I have a couple of toons up to 20, which means I get to leave the starter areas for .. well greener pastures.. however, most of the time you get quests that “point” you in a direction.. with my Draeni Paladin, however, I really didn’t have anywhere to go, I moved over to the wetlands to do some questing there.. We’ll see how that goes

The Floors

Floors & Walls

More work happened on the house this week, we had people in the last few days (sans Sunday) that was doing the mudding and did some sanding.  They should be getting close to doing the final texturing.. We have also bought all the paint and gotten all the wood for the floors that we need.  There was 53 boxes of flooring, which totalled just a little over a ton of wood flooring.. We tried not to stack it all in one place.   We are getting close.. Once the walls are up we can go full bore on the paint and floors.. I believe they can happen at the same time as long as we are careful.  The kitchen cabinets are getting ordered sometime this week, and as soon as we the floors in the kitchen, we will get our appliances put in there.. things are wrapping up hopefully.  I’m hoping that once we get the walls ready for work, we can just plow forward as we won’t really be waiting on skilled labour.  The floors however, we do have to have someone in to do those.

Well that’s all for this week.. come back next week for more ramblings and more complaining, and we’ll see how much got done on the house..

It’s been a weird couple of weeks.. What can I say.. We had our drywall up about 10 days ago, however for some reason the guy that is supposed to come in and finish the walls is “busy”.  Well, around here, everyone is busy.. just get it done.  Sometimes I have a hard time having sympathy for people that lack the ability to plan well.

The new van

Work is going through growing pains again, but it’s like that at all places, all in all work is good..

We got a new car, pretty awesome there.. We got a 2004 Toyota Sienna that’s pretty much fully loaded.. I’m missing my remote car starter, and unfortunately I can’t get one installed in the van until the end of February.  Going to have to think about that one.  As well, our flooring should be here this week.  Our kitchen cabinets have been “Drawn out”, just waiting from the blessing from the wife.  The rebuild is going slow.. but it’s going..

Kitchen CAD Drawing

We’ve picked up paint for most of the downstairs, got to get the rest this week..

Once we get most of the floors in, we will start to move in furniture (some of which is on the way, others in the garage), appliances and such like that.

We are getting close folks!

It’s been a good week, odd, but good.
