Waiter....check please...

So after some very strange happenings around this place, I believe we (me, myself, and I) are back up and running. Im not sure of the real cause behind everything but if I find out, I will be sure to let everyone know. As for now I am keeping this blog locked down for the most part, but it will still be here. So until next time....

House Update...

Well we got a chance to drop by the house, therefore here are some pictures of the progress. The builders have completed the stone work...

and installed the garage doors...




Also the Power company has installed the powermain on to the house. (didnt get a picture.) And they have begun painting the inside of the house. Here is a shot of the stained banister.


I believe the cabinets will be going in in about 7 days from now and we are currently still looking for a completion in the first part of December. So make sure you have time saved up at work in order to take the time off to help move.

Obama's hiding change....

The information I will be posting is from the President-Elect's website for change. For all of you that believe in the right to bare arms, this should worry you a little. Also this infomation has been removed from their website as of today, luckily everyting on the internet lasts forever.

"Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets."

Why are they hiding their agenda now?

Tile is going down...

Just a quick shot of the interior. Could not get many other pictures because I was in their way. But here is the kitchen tile. I think the room looks a lot larger with the tile.

All Points Bulletin....

Be on the lookout for this suspicious character. Last seen in the optical department of Shopko. He is known to carry large amounts of candy in plastic bags.

Donations....

Baby K wants to thank her favorite aunts for donating to her cause. She was able to get 4 new outfits!!!

More to see....

I haven't had much time to blog since I have now officially gone back to work. So between work and all the girls, my time is again limited. However scratz and I did have the change to run out the new place to get a few pictures.
On the 29th, they were pouring the driveway and the sidewalks.





Also, they had sheetrocked most of the inside, just need to do a little mud and taping.



They also had completed the stucko on the backside of the house (looks great)


Then today (the 30th), we dropped by and the crews were doing the mud and tape inside and the front of the house is ready for the rock.





Fancy vent, this will be the color of the exterior trim



I guess they don't need the lot marker sign any longer.


Now, here is our house and the neighbors house. It's hard to believe that they started building our neighbors house the day before ours.

Completing the Arch...

When Scratz and I decided to go with the model of home that we asked if it would be possible to have the arch stained to a darker color then what came standard. You might think to yourself that we would receive a simple Yes or No answer in a short amount of time...well if you thought that you would be wrong. It has taken since August for us to receive the first real response, apparently with all the houses that Ivory Homes has built they have never had anyone ask to have the arch stained. Once they contacted basically everyone in the company, they decided they would let us stain the arch ourselves. So scratz and I had to sign some additional paperwork that gave us permission to be on the job site to complete the staining. Once this was singed, duplicated, and processed by Ivory Homes, we headed to Home Depot to buy some stain and then drove over to the new place to get to work.

We got there sometime after 11am and began getting everything ready to paint. Here is a picture during the process.

Everything was going well until I spilled half of the stain in the container I was holding down onto the porch. Luckily most of it landed on the tarp that we had placed down so we didnt have to clean up much. The problem with this was that we originally bought enough stain to complete the job. Therefore, off to Home Depot we went again to buy more stain. This took longer than we thought.We worked on the arch until 4pm when we had to leave so I could make it to a work meeting.
This is what it looked like after 1 coat. However since according to the instructions it stated we needed at least 2 coats of paint.


Once I got out of the work meeting, I headed from Magna back to our condo to pick up scratz and then drove out to the new place to finish the job. By the time we got to the new place it was already past 9pm and the sun had gone down hours earlier. We had gone to the storage shed and picked up the flood light and an extension cord so we could see as we painted. By the time we finished staining the wood it was after 11pm. Luckily we had left baby k at the grandparents house while we stood outside for the whole time. I am sure the neighbors already think we are insane, but they might as well find out now because they are sure to find out after we move in.

Anyway, today we headed back to the house to see how the "painting in the dark" project turned out. I was impressed with how nicely it turned out for not being able to see what the heck we were doing and this is what we found.





Also, they have stocked the house with Sheetrock and will be completing the mud and tape very soon. We have also received noticed that we are to start getting all the paperwork together which will be needed at closing. Hopefully we can have the house done by the end of November.

Well I was....

I was going to post a funny story about how we decided to put socks on Jersey and took pictures of him. However, someone who will remain un-named stole a picture and has already posted it on their blog. The world is full of savages I tell you.

We were going through some of baby K's clothes and decided that a few of the pairs of socks no longer fit her anymore since she now weighs in at a hefty 11.6lbs. While gathering the socks, Jersey walked into the room and he became the subject of our entertainment. It was quite humorous to watch Jersey try to walk around the house without having any of his feet touch the ground for more than a brief moment. After a short time we took the socks off because you could see the pure humiliation in his eyes.
Here are the pics
