Default House Christening

Well, we did it!!! Per the request of HeavenstoBetsy, the new house was properly and vigorously christened this evening at 6:00pm. The usual "cast of characters" were there and I think the job was done rather spectacularly if I do say so myself!

I know that there were pictures taken but I'm not sure when Mr. Flintstone will get them posted. I'd love to know what everyone thinks...

You really have to be careful what you ask for in this neighborhood!!!

Wow-just catching up on all the news and my wonderful neighbors went ahead with the christening! The "new house" doesn't even have the slab yet so this will get things off to a great start. Maybe I should wait until I see the pictures before i really express my appreciation (or shock and surprise), but this group of people are really something else.

I was thinking more along the lines of "shock and awe"!!!

Jimbo hit his pickle from the median on route 466A last week. It was a BEAUTIOUS shot. He's a real pro.

Who's going to inspect all of the neighborhood concrete pours if you're in Ohio?

P.S. be thankful you weren't here for the lot christening tonight. When the pictures get posted you'll be very disturbed at what you see going on in your new neighborhood. I hope someone hauled all of those empties away?

Default Will miss the fun!

Well, epoxy gets a quick finish this am and I am headed back to the thriving metropolis of Kennesaw! One week of packing, throwing and donating and then heading south for good ... Loved meeting all of you that we were able to ... The christening was an event to remember ...

See you all at the SPD celebration!
