Even More Things Happening

I forgot to include this in the last post. We finally hooked up our range hood and it makes a HUGE difference when cooking odouriferous and greasy foods.

We also spent yesterday morning re-staining our deck and I think it turned out pretty well.

As some of you may know, tomorrow is my 40th birthday. Becky was kind enough to buy me the watch I've been eying for a long time. It is the model that the astronauts took to the Moon and I like it a lot.

Thanks for reading!

It's Been A While!

Spring is here and some things are going down at the "House of Toly". Becky has been working in the garage all day and we're now able to put both cars into it. The truck is loaded up with some of my dad's stuff that we need to return.

The soffits are now done on the front deck and so are the boxes for the masonry work. We have some neat column caps that go on top. The front deck is also cleaned and newly scrubbed.

We also hung a door to the back entrance after Monti finally finished varnishing it.

As anyone who has visited our house will know, the pot lights in the living room were hanging down by their wires. Becky was able to get in there and finally get them to stay where they belong.

Also, we got a new computer around Christmastime that I am using to post this blog entry.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

PolyWatch

I bought this product from Amazon and used it on all my watches. You can see what I did to my Omega.

Summer!

Summer is here and I'm going to spend it working on the house. Here is a photo for the CD of a Rockabilly artist named Art Adams. The name of the album is The Truth. He is a friend of my friend.

More Pictures

Moved In!

Well, these pictures confirmed to me that we still have a long way to go but we're in!

Byron Rocks!

We got mostly moved yesterday because Becky's brother Byron came with his enclosed trailer and helped us move. Thanks so much Byron! Also, thanks Sheila for the Chili and homemade bread. No pictures because the house is a mess and we have no internet there.

Moving in this Saturday (For Real!)

Some people had expressed a willingness to help us move in. I just wanted to let you know that we would really appreciate anyone's help this Saturday. Don't worry, you won't show up and we'll be sitting on the couch with nothing packed! Also, there are no pianos or heavy things like that; there are some stairs, however :-). Just let us know if you can make it and thanks in advance.

One of the Last Major Tasks Partially Done

The plumbers came on Friday and got all of the water hooked up and running. We have hot water,  toilets, garbage disposal, ice, and showers.

Becky also worked on the hardwood for the front entrance on hallway today. Fun!

Who Knew Melamine Could Look So Good?

The countertops were installed this afternoon and we're really happy with them. The granite is called "Ubatuba" from Brazil.

Countertop Tomorrow

We worked on getting the kitchen all shored up for the countertop that is supposed to come tomorrow.

Becky also did a lot of work on the master bedroom shower that is coming along nicely. She also threw me a bone by taking a picture of the trim that I painted.

Optimism.

So we put up our Christmas tree at the new house. We worked on getting the cabinets ready for the counter top that we hope will arrive this week. Beck also put up the range hood. There will be a tiled backsplash going all the way up and around the edge of the counter.

We also received our lights from Kalispell Home Depot (they are excellent, Lethbridge, not so much) and put them up on the landings. We also put up some of the curtains in our bedroom.

Crawl Space Opulence

We got the vanity partially set up in the kids' bathroom and I really like how it looks. Becky also did the final clean-up on the tile in there. Scott Tollestrup has also been doing an excellent job putting in our trim. The area you see Beth in is the crawl space between her and Ethan's rooms.
