Man Space

Since so many people have been asking to see the house now that it is finished and we are moved home I thought I would post a few. Here are a few pictures of my favorite parts of what has been done since moving home. 

You can see in this picture that the garage has upper cabinets and a very nice work bench. 

Some of the special items that make this a Man Space are the taxidermy and the special cabinet for the shop radio. 

One thing that I am very pleased with is cut out for the miter saw. Now I can lay boards across the entire length of the bench for support. 

Yes, this is a bit of a joke but not totally. I have always enjoyed working in the garage on many different things and this is the first time that I have had a blank slate to work with and I am pretty happy with what I have been able to do so far. So as for pictures of the house this is what you get for now. Now that the tools all have a home I will be able to easily find them and get all the other projects taken care of in the house. 

Finally..............

we are moving home!! The house is probably 99.5% complete right now and we are going to move home today. Last night our contractor finished up the last of the major projects and said we were ok to move back in. We were told to look around and just make a list of anything we come across that still needs to be done and he would come back this weekend to finish those last little things.

So tonight should be fun. We have purchased some furniture and a few other things that are already delivered but have some assembly required and that is what I will be doing .... assembleing furniture and probably setting up a TV.

Hope to see you all at the house real soon.

Counting the days....

and hours....and minutes......and seconds till we get to move home. I know I recently posted that it might have been last week or this past weekend but sometimes things take a little longer than you hope. This is a huge lesson in delayed gratification. Right now it feels like it is so close to done I can taste it but those last few details seem to take the longest. 

It really looks like a real house again, we have all the flooring done now, carpet went down yesterday and it looks great next to the tile and the wood floor. We have a couple of appliances installed and the others should be put in place tomorrow. Tonight we painted a bathroom and added the last few switch plate covers. I know that doesn't seem like much but every little thing gets us one step closer to moving home. 

I can't wait for everyone to see what it looks like, I'm not posting any pictures right now because we don't want to spoil the surprise when everyone can come see it in person. 

See you all back at our house real soon.
