Two loads of gravel were delivered yesterday to be used for the newly positioned driveway to be completed on Thursday morning. I'll be SO happy when all this is done. STILL unpacking! I'm still unpacking daily. Perry brings me a load of boxes at night and I unpack...

the struggle is real and i’m really struggling
Haven't shared anything for a few weeks because I've been too busy packing. Not just packing, but purging too. Perry and I filled a 4 ton dumpster with stuff we no longer wanted, as well as stuff that Teddy ASNr left here in the attic. Just a couple more days here and...
a to do list i can’t do yet
I'm to the point that even my dreams are filled with thoughts of packing and moving. It's not enough that I spend time during the day to pack, but I do it all night too. A month long hiatus. I told my brother and boss on 8/15/22 that I was taking a full month off....
stakes are placed by the stakes
The survey on the place we're purchasing is complete -- I think it is anyway. The surveyor has placed stakes beside the stakes placed by the owners to show where the line should be. Pretty sure now all that is needed is the paperwork on the survey to provide to the...
water is worth more than electric
Punch list from the city home's inspection in hand and near the end of the repairs noted, I welcomed the plumber inside to do his thing. Once he did the minor worthless repair item, I was presented a bill. It was FOUR TIMES more than was charged by the electrician and...

one of the things I miss most

my new digs has a gardener
Spent the day in the Ville while an extremely thorough inspector was at the for sale house. Taking my two dogs is a shit show in itself -- both are good in the car, but neither are even marginal on a leash. The view isn't the same. While my current view is nothing but...
this ain’t no new build
The home inspector did the first pass today and has scheduled 3-4 hours on Wednesday of this week. He let me know he would be checking every outlet, every window, etc. What the actual eff? When I sold the Villa, it had to be inspected. It was supposed to be really...
