Now, for the rest of the story. The painter arrived at the house at 7:30 sharp and got both accent walls painted in about 2 hours. The cabinets for the pantry and craft room arrived about an hour after the painter left. The driver was a nice guy who let me borrow his hand truck to get the monsters in the house and set in place in the pantry. Janice got there just in time to help me put together one of the two craft room cabinets. By the time that was done I was whipped and decided to let the other one go until tomorrow. Went home and took a nap!
At 6:30 we met Andy & Wendy at the Lighthouse for dinner & drinks before they take the flight across the pond tomorrow! Wonderful & funny people and we had a blast enjoying their company. I hope they hurry back soon (November) so Andy can sample some hand crafted stout that is proper beer. Just another confirmation that Gilchrist is going to rock when we all get there!
Tomorrow morning the movers are emptying out the storage unit and trucking the last of our meager possessions to the new house. The final move is scheduled for Friday which just consists of rounding up the stray items in the condo and finally sleeping in our new home. Can't wait till this process is over!
Checked on CalcTeacher and Hotrods build very quickly today. There was some grading work going on at Calc's home but I was so tired when I left the house I didn't check to see what was going on. Had to drive by Hotrod's digs when we left and she now has a roof and windows in her humble abode. Tomorrow should be interesting on both lots. I'll post pics of Hotrod's sometime tomorrow if I survive the day. I've also got pics of the accent walls (new reading area) in the living room and the storage cabinets in the pantry and craft room that I will try to get up ASAP.
So, that's the rest of the story. I'm beat and have to be up early in the a.m. Hope everyone has a great night!
