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.
