The post Christmas sickness tradition that is.  Over Christmas one of the little tikes running around here got sick.  Yesterday Beth was sick.  Last night dad got sick.  This afternoon I don’t feel too good.  So the tradition continues.

On a brighter not Christmas was good.  I got a few of the things on my Christmas wish list, which was sweet.  I also got some things done around the house, with the help of my dad.  Thanks dad!  As a Christmas present to all of you I’ve finally got some pictures of the completed version of the house, for your viewing pleasure.

There were lots more things that happened, but I think I’ll get to those later.  The laundry is done.  We’re supposed to go to the LP to celebrate Christmas with Beth’s family this weekend.  Perhaps more stories after that!

To all of my family and friends!  I hope each of you have a great Christmas with your family and friends.  Enjoy the new snow, and have a safe and fun time.

Merry Christmas!

I finally get the last piece of the floor in!  That’s exciting.  Now I just get to fix the holes. (In case you’re wondering how I did that, I had to use a crow bar to get the last pieces of the floor along the wall into place.)  And tomorrow night we’re going to pick out floorboards so I can put those on Friday.  I’ll have a number of projects to do tomorrow and Friday as I have both days off.  It’ll be nice though.  We’ll get things into place, and have this place just that much closer to being done.

I finally got my airport working properly!  Well, I did this last night.  But it’s still blogable.  There must be some interference on the same spectrum, because I would loose signal, but the airport would still be on.  But messing with some settings made it all work nicely.  That’s good news.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the last of their week.  I for one shall enjoy my 4 day weekend!

Okay, maybe not so much, but it’s not so bad.  In fact, I haven’t done any tonight.  I should start soon though.

People have requested pictures, and we’ve got some.  We have before pictures here and pictures of making the changes here.  We didn’t take a lot of photos during the move, but mom did.  Sadly, those are real film and I probably won’t get those online.

We’ll get some after pictures up sometime perhaps.  When we’re officially done I suppose.  Or you’ll just have to come over to the house warming party to see it all.

If anyone wants a stove, we’ve got one for sale.

And, to close, I went to the Governor’s Mansion last week with some of my co-workers on our lunch break to tour it all decorated for Christmas.  It was pretty fun.  Pictures of that are here.

That’s right.  We’ve moved in.  Things look great as well.  We got the appliances delivered on Friday, finished the tiling in the bathroom, finished painting the bedroom (with help from Brad), and with some great help from the parents, siblings, and some friends (Thanks again Amy!) we got all of our stuff moved in.

Last night we got the dishwasher hooked up.  That’s easier to do than I thought it would be.  The fridge fit in the fridge spot (which I knew when we bought it, but I forgot it).  The bathroom vanity and sink got put in.  The toilet got put back in after the tiling (and only one spill over later it’s working great).

We’ve got a lot of boxes sitting in the basement that need to be unpacked.  But we have cable hooked up (expanded cable) and so we have lots of channels to distract us.  I need to get the surround sound hooked up some time.  And the rest of the floor put in.  I think I have to patch a hole in the wall that I made (whoops!).  That last section of flooring is a bugger.

But all in all we’re super excited!  There’s a fair amount of work to do still, but I think we can get it done in the next two weeks.  That’s when my side of the family is coming down for Christmas!  So we’ve got some work to do still on that, but it will all get done on time.

Now I think we should go to Target to buy some food.  We have a brand new fridge and approximately four things in it.  None of which is very good by itself.  So hope you had a great weekend, because I sure did (even if it was a lot of work)!

That’s what we’ve been.  But the house is starting to look like a home.  We’re thinking we’re going to move on Saturday and we’ve got some stuff to finish first.  Basically it’s just painting that has to get done.  And a small bit of tiling in the kitchen, I think.  I’m not positive where that’s at, Beth’s been doing most of it.  I’m super impressed!

This weekend we had some help from Beth’s family, and we blazed through a lot of stuff.  The bathroom was gutted and we’ve got to pick out some paint and a vanity to get in there.  After tiling the kitchen Beth isn’t sure she wants to tile the bathroom, so we’ll see what happens there.  We got the living room floor done this weekend.  Well there is a small part that we still need to do, but it’s mostly done.  Hopefully the last 6 pieces that need to go in don’t take that long.  The big thing will be getting a table saw from some place to cut the wood.

We have to paint the bedroom and the bathroom, but then we’ll be ready to move in.  There will be some things that we need to do once we move in, but we should be able to move in on Saturday.  I’ll have a few days off this week to work on stuff, and Beth has Thursday off too.  So I think it’ll come together nicely.  We’ll see.

That’s the wrap on my weekend.  How was yours?
