It's Official

Thanks Morgan and next time try and keep up better. Hopefully this works out better which I think it will. I met my neighbor to the left last night and he’s super nice. He’s like anything you need just take it right out of my garage it’s always open, even the car if you need it.

The ABF truck came late yesterday around 5 so of course I had to start unloading it. I got about 2/3 of it on and finally quit around 7:30. I was exhausted from being up since 1:30am and driving but I wanted the mattress! We have a decent air mattress but I needed a real one last night. It’s gonna take a while to get this place together. We’ve had stuff in boxes since we moved from Goodyear back in June of’04. Plus I want to paint the whole inside as we both hated the colors.

That's what I was afraid of!

Who doesn't like a little abstract now and then?

Not to worry, there will be 3 of us, be in & out before you know it.

Finishing up the formal dining room...

I’m finished painting the fence, just having a beer and calling to check on Mrs. DukeCanBuildit, what’s next?

Your turn for the dots this time, my eyes have still not adjusted.

I'm glad everything has settled out for you Dave. Dealing with moving is always a pain and you did it twice in one year.

He's tough like that.

Thanks Mark it's been an experience for sure. But one the put in the books and move forward and it hopefully will be our last.

Man I'm going on adrenaline these last few days. I can't stand having everything in boxes and the house looks like a bomb went off with stuff everywhere. What's worse is I finally found someone to do the master closet & pantry over and they're starting Monday. So we can't put any cloths away and still living out of our duffle bags. Oh, did I mention they're also coming Monday to cut down the island wall and template for new countertops.

I guess it never ends, Ha Ha. Didn't you just finish building a house ? Can wait for Duke @DukeCanBuildit to finish so we can have the opening party.

I would come to that if it weren't so far away. I would bring a couple of slabs of Australian beer, that would get things going!

Good thinking Cam. @DukeCanBuildit and I are already stocking up a couple of trailers and our Rangers with proper Canadian beers, and I'm having some shipped in from Belgium and Germany, too. You bring on over some Aussie samples, and those poor Bud Light drinkers just won't know what hit them.

This is the beer menu we're currently working on

We arrived here around 12:30 pm Thursday and they delivered the ABF truck around 5 pm. Even being up since 1:30 am and dead tired I couldn't wait to get it opened and start unloading some things. Got about half of it done using a flashlight inside the trailer and made a point to get the mattress off because no way I wanted to sleep another night on the air mattress again. lol

Now we have boxes everywhere (it's like a maze in here) and I can't hardly put anything away because they're coming tomorrow to redo the master & pantry closets along with templating the kitchen and hall bath countertops. Then of course I have to paint them and let it dry so another week then some areas should be done. We have great neighbors and the weathers been perfect with days in the mid 80's and nights in the mid 50's and 22% humidity. I guess I'm a desert rat after all!

Truck looks better out front here.

I almost had a stroke when I took down the bulkhead and saw this. I had it strapped down and secured tight so not sure what the driver(s) were doing. Luckily so far the only thing that was broken was a pair of lamp shades that were old and I had just thrown in there unboxed so no loss there.

@Chris M remember the pictures I showed you when I wrapped the coffee and end tables. Good thing I went a little overboard because those were stacked up on top of the two mattresses and were now off to the side and back behind them. There was only one small knick the size of a pen tip which I can touch up easily.

Finished up unloading early Friday morning and it was good to get it emptied out and done with. The ramp is the biggest PITA folding it and trying to get it up over the lip and pushing it back in by yourself at the end.
