Big House...

T-scomubone and I went down to finish off the fence. Well, some rain and darkness got in the way of finishing it totally, but we have maybe a day of stuff remaining to complete the fence for Honey & Max...

Back BEFORE:


Back AFTER:

The opening is for the gate. That's for next time.

Side BEFORE:


Side AFTER:

Pickets only on the front and part of the back. Mainly so the dogs can't see out at stuff.

The side from the street now:


The appliances were delivered, so now the only thing remaining from it really feeling like a house is getting installed Tuesday: cable, digital phone, and ... internet service. [Nerd alert: the cable internet is 8Mbps DOWN and 2Mbps UP. On a good day the DSL in Aurora gets 1Mbps down so 8Mbps will kick ass!].

So from our original list of things to do before T starts classes, only the finishing work on the fence remains. Oh, and changing the locks on the front & back doors. And two things to have done before winter: install gutters on E & W sides (N & S have them?!?) and new windows. And one thing on the list of whenever-it-happens: rip up the new carpeting and lay down wood floors. To the god damned yard and trees and weeds all I can say is "SEE YOU IN HELL".
