Old Men Shouldn't Drive

On Tuesday afternoon, while on the way to my house to pick up movies that needed to be returned I got into an accident. Some old F*** ran a red light. And not the kind that just turned red but the kind that can only be run if you don't give a flying F***! I was using the other street of the intersection and intending to go strainght. Neither of us made it much farther than the intersection. Below are some pictures from the accident. My car is the white one DUH! The other is the typical old fart Buick.

We Have Walls

We now have walls. I looked around the inside and outside of the house today very thouroughly. I noticed that the outlets on the side of the house that are supposed to be in the eaves are too low. They seem to have put them in about a foot lower than they should be. I took a picture while I was there and brought it to the sales office. The guy in the office was really nice about it. He got the paperwork out right away and said that they will take care of fixing it tomorrow. The outlets are supposed to be hidden so that we can put up Christmas lights without cords draping around the side of the building. Here are todays pictures...

The Front of the House

I Love the Window in the Guest Bath

This is the whole for the outlet is. It is supposed to be above where the HLAND can be seen.

1st Family in the Neighborhood

Today when I went to the house I saw a man parked in his driveway. He is the first in the neighborhood. Nobody else even has a driveway. On June 15th his house was just a slab and now he is moving in. So June 15th-July 15th-August 15th-September 15th = 3 months. We were at slab on September 3rd-October 3rd-November 3rd-December 3rd - 3 months right??? The Lady in the sales office even said that it would probably be in Late November :) Soon it will be cooler out and maybe they start to work faster when it is cool outside. So here is this weeks progress.

I was able to take a bunch of pictures of the plumbing and wiring today. I didn't get everything I wanted to so I thought of something easier. Rather than doing all this from the car I am going to wait until be move in and then on one of my days off I will go to another home under construction and take proper measurement and notes of where everything is located.

The Frame Goes Up

YEAH YEAH YEAH YIPPEEEEEE! It is amazing what these construction guys can do in a week. Today I met my new next door neighbor while I was out looking at the house. I think she is about our age. JJ and I are planning on throwing a block party when we move in so that we can meet everyone. It seems like a safer place to live when everyone knows each other. That way when someone sees someone that doensn's belong they are more likely to keep an eye out. Here is the progress for the week.

This is the first time there have been two sides to photograph :)

My Parents have a New Bundle of Joy

This weekend my parents adopted an adorable doggy. He was a rescue dog and is really well behaved. His name is Chewie. My parents were afraid at first that it wouldn't work out with the cat but she has since come out of the laundry room and started to walk around the house. The cat has shown her dominance and smacked the dog in the face a few times (she has no claws).

To go along with the adorable dog picture he is a house update. The house should be framed by the end of the week. The wood has been delivered and is in the back of the foundation. It is really cute almost like a little house building kit.
