We nixed having movers try to move some of our items down as they couldn't guarentee delivery time when we were down there so we'll be frantically buying furniture--added stress Can't wait to meet everyone and see some sun. enjoy the hustle and bustle of the last few days before Christmas--more stress

I could lead in meditation to breathe deeply and pay attention to your breath, but you might be off in 6 directions before I could say it, given your situation. I hope the stress eases soon but it seems everyone squeezes through a canal before they arrive. I'm also facing design appt, sale of current home and moving. not easy, but you aren't alone,nor am I.
breathe deeply, and we'll meet soon and delightfully.

Meredith-Jill and I are here Christmas sans family and a "tea" sounds nice!
Congrats on your first day of design, Chief Rose! Can't wait to hear how it all went... Calc-the traffic is a bit busy on Amherst, but mostly due to construction traffic! They seem to be using Defoe to get over to the model homes. Some do go thru here, but not so very many! thankfully!
Can't wait for everyone to get here!

hotrodgirl, I enjoyed a few days needling the construction on Defoe before discovering the quicker, quieter route on Eastfield Path. btw, that juniper plant smells nasty but should look nice wherever you need a tall skinny evergreen.

Almetjet - I think it's going to be a race to the finish between us!

In just a few short days we went from cement to walls to roof trusses! Really starting to take shape!

Safe travels, Merry Christmas and wonderful 13!

Let me preface with our designer,Jim, was patient and helpful! We had our meetings last week and this week I get an e.mail from him that in his review of the home's mechanics ...he skipped the HVAC! Now,this calls for a change form ... But they will not require the $250! The whole thing just sort of hit me funny? So for all of you riding around, checking out the new builds, as 210-96 gets going, let me know if those heat pump tubes and vents seem missing!!


Merry Merry

Cathy & Bob...hope you have a safe and enjoyable (?) trip back to the land of the lower temps and wishing you a safe return in time for the New Years Eve Bash!

Congrats to ChiefRose on completing the first day of design meetings!!

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!!!
