Around the house updates (Fall '08)

I have a couple of updates from around the house. 

First of all, we finally have a new toaster.  One side gluten, one side gluten free.

The other big change is in the garage.  My dad and I put in some much needed shelving.  It has significantly helped us straighten up our basement and garage.

House's Celiac Episode

My buddy Matt from work informed me this morning that he had just watched a House M.D. episode about celiac disease.

The episode does not appear to be uplifting by any means (especially because an infant is involved) but it is also a much more extreme case then the average celiac situation at the same time.

It's interesting that the condition was worthy of making the show. 

Green is my favorite color

After many more hours then I was expecting it to take, our landscaping around the house is complete and last week we received our sod.

While the pictures are too small to do it justice, it's still pretty cool to see the difference of how the house looked the last time most of you saw it to how it looks today.

It's finally starting to feel like home.

Looks great!

Nattie needs a pair of mowin' shoes.

Ann said...
A definite improvement! Especially for the inside of your house I'm sure!

Shane said...
I don't believe you laid down sod. The above looks like your final projact for a Photoshop class. (Uhh... let's see... throw a tree in the front yard, paste a kiddie pool in there... erase the clouds... that should do it)

Rory said...
Yeah, and put an extra car in the garage too.

We're movin' to Duluth (sort of)

Actually, we are not. But, I was not that far off on my previous article stating that we were looking around Duluth...as the house we have agreed to purchase today happens to be on Duluth Street. It is a brand new house in a new development in Farmington that they finished building around the first of the year. Gina and I are both very excited and we will be moving sometime in April.

P.S. Anyone willing to help move us will not be turned away (and will likely be bribed with pizza and beverages).

Dude, I totally want to help you move, but, and what are the odds: I'm busy April! Actually I'll be gone the last weekend of April, but besides that count me in. SWEET!

I'm only interested in helping people stay put. I just wanna come over to make sure that no one is loading any thing into boxes. This goes out to Mitch H.

BTW...I was informed last night the house is actually more of a brown (I don't recall), even though the picture makes it look blue. We shouldk now the closing date today. We are going to walk through the place one last time tonight.

Nice work! However, I notice a severe lack of basketball hoop and flat driveway. But I guess I can't see the full court in the backyard from this angle.

Jon said...
Hey, where's the pool also? We were all promised a pool.

There is a hoop right down the road and a water basin just across the street. We never discussed vicinity or quality when the hoop/pool were promised...remember?
