Haven't Moved Yet

We didn't move in as planned on Thursday but hopefully we will get moved this week. We don't have satellite or wifi at the new house yet, so we're not in a huge hurry. Apparently, Direct TV doesn't allow their employees to get on the roof and that's where they need to be to install the dish. We've scheduled two appointments (the second time they were well aware they needed to get on the roof) only to have them get here and tell us they can't get on the roof. Not sure where we'll go from here.

Kim continues to complete existing tasks on the house (i.e. installing shower doors, cabinet knobs, lights, etc.) and I've been moving a few things over and cleaning. All these windows are great for the view but not so great when it comes to cleaning them. UGH!

We had another unexpected issue related to the leaky connection. Kim drilled some holes in the cabinet and wall to ensure everything was dry only to find black mold. He cut the back out of the cabinet and pulled the insulation out to get rid of the mold. He was able to talk to a certified mold remover who told him what to do. So, he's spent many hours on his knees taking care of that problem.

I stenciled the walls in the living room in lieu of carrying the crown molding around the room.

Aaron came over Friday night to help move our chairs and bed over.

I was able to finish one of the stained glass panels in my last class on Saturday. I'm very pleased with the outcome (especially for a first effort).

We're under a tornado watch so we quickly moved stuff around in the garage (our workroom for the past year) to get my car in. First time in it's new home.

Now that it's done, it looks like the storm is going around us. We could use the rain but sure don't want the tornado!

Well it's on to shelf and drawer liner and continuing to move the things over that I can manage.
