They have doing the drywall.
They probably finished carpeting Rich’s bedroom (that was the plan when we left).
We need to schedule an inspection with the bank (I remember reading something about Wednesday on that, but don’t know.
They need to paint. Put down flooring in the whole house and put the brick up. Also put up the electrical fixtures.
We have
Can’t live there yet.
The house passed it’s first inspection and there are permits up on the window and door.
We only had cosmetic damage!
The contractor thinks that we will be in the house by the end of next week, but without the flooring done. We have to keep the apartment until November 6th, so we’ll have a place to go, if needed, while the flooring is being done.
The sub-contractor thinks we’ll be in sooner.
Twice now, the new McDonald’s has given me the wrong coffee. I caught it the first time, didn’t this time. Didn’t even taste it until I got to school, and kept thinking something was wrong.
Did call and complain, as a Mocha costs twice as much as the coffee. Probably twice the insulin too.
ARGH!
Rich and I had the same idea after work last night, get the beagle girls together at the house.
Stopped off at the apt. mailbox and there were 4 checks for us – one for packing/etc stuff, one for the house repair, one for the contents, and one for the electronics. We’re on our way!
When I got there, our new front door was in the back of a delivery truck. I had them put it on the back deck and signed for it.
Framing material is in the driveway.
Window has been ordered, and that might be our biggest hold up.
They started cleaning out the yard debris yesterday so that helped.
I packaged up 7 bags of 20+ year old dog books, all on how to torture your dog. Okay, there was a bunch of novels in their also.
Major purge. I think the yard guys think they can get some money out of them, doubt it and good luck on that.
No living room now. They bunched up all the furniture in the living room, then moved the study furniture into the living room.
And we now have a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house, but same square footage. Weird.
We also picked out a front door. Very different, but more light into the house and might solve some of the security issues. Won’t stop a truck but I have a tree on order.
Also ordered security cameras, still need to get the rest of the system. Though not sure how that is going to help as husband doesn’t get the existing security system.
My supplies came, I did talk to a supply rep this morning, but got so mad about the situation, had to end the phone call.
Quoted from http://cynthiaokelly.blogspot.com/2011/09/meantime.html:
There are several times in my life that I have been in the “meantime”. The meantime is when you havefinished a chapter in life and are waiting for the next chapter to start. Does this sound familiar to you? I readthe book, “In The Meantime” by Ivana Van Zandt years ago when I was waiting for my husband to enter my life.
Cynthia is so right. I’m in a meantime myself — I’m waiting for my house to be back and have both an attached garage, dog door and yard again.
Coping with that process has to be my focus, and my weight loss will be my meantime again. Though I’ve also tried to live "What Not to Wear’s Motto", which is dress the body you have.
Did you know that UPS can’t figure out how to forward all packages from a damaged house to another addess?
That is fubared.
Okay, it’s actually going to work out BUT. I’m on EzReadOrder, have had an order in the system for weeks, tried to call them and tell them that it couldn’t be delivered, and left them a message!!!!!
They didn’t call me back, and shipped it anyway.
God’s looking out for me, as it is to arrive tomorrow by 3:00 pm and I’ll be there. Didn’t want to be there that long, but someone should probably be there to take delivery when I can’t be there.

Tomorrow is clear out debris day and get keys for my Ford Focus made day. Found a locksmith that will do it at the house for cheaper than driving to the dealership would.
