Well, it has been quite a while since I’ve posted. We moved, more or less successfully; the new house was unfinished when we moved in, and probably not technically livable, but we have been making the best of it. We do have some furniture in place now, in the living room and bedroom, so that we can sleep and watch tv at the end of the day. The kitchen is not finished but is finally mostly functional.
The problem with finishing moving the furniture and unpacking, is that first the room that the furniture is to go into needs to be finished, LOL. Dave is going to work on that as he is able. He has been hampered in that, in that when we moved in and began using things such as the plumbing or air / heat, those things began breaking down. So Dave has been spending his time doing repairs to the underlying infrastructure that makes a home livable, and is not yet able to put time into finishing the rooms.
So we have the kitchen, living, and master bedroom semi functioning now. The lanai/ family room, and office / eventual guest bedroom, are being used for storage right now and cannot function as usable rooms. The main bath is being used for storage of tools and materials for all the home repair and remodeling work and is not functional as a bathroom. The door doesn’t even close, so I am not sure anyone would want to use it as a bathroom if it was functional, LOL!
The master bath has been our functioning bathroom, even for guests, until this week when the plumbing went out. So there is still work needing to be done in there before we can use it as a bathroom again. 🙂
Oh, the heater went out the other night, LOL. Dave will be working on that this weekend too. Let me assure you, no one WANTS to come visit and stay here right now, LOL. You would have to sleep on the floor in the middle of the living room (navigating around all the office equipment because the living room is being used for a makeshift office at the moment) and use the bathroom at Dad’s!
But we did finally get Internet Thursday night! Thus you are seeing this blog post!
