House Day 2009

I took this past Friday off from work to have some appointments at the house.

This is what my schedule looked like:

8am-12pm Bug Service

9am Electrician

11am-1pm Garage door service

12pm-3pm Roto Rooter

2pm Furnace Service

2pm ADT installation

At the end of the day I had a new water heater, a new garage door on order, my front and back doors talk when they are opened and closed, several new grounded plugs (including the one for the fridge that had never been grounded!), and I learned that my gas had been turned off.

Who will live at this address?: Part I

Loyal friend and elderly guinea pig, Olli, will hopefully live at this new address.

He is from Los Angeles, CA and moved to Texas with me in a UHAUL. He is approx. 6yrs old. He has recently lost alot of weight and has begun balding; but overall seems pretty stoked for the move.

Least exciting thing I have ever spent money on.

Fancified access to the back of the tub.

PINK ROOM

The second bedroom will from here on out be referred to as the "pink room."

This room not only came with bars on the windows but also with some great ceiling damage; a gift from IKE. The photo above shows the freshly patched ceiling.

Look Ma! No Bars!!!

Major progress finally being seen at 1045 Gardendale. I hired my favorite contractor, Martin Brahm, to remove all of the burglar bars from the house, and do some of the important repairs inside. Also hired someone to grind the stump in the front yard. Here is a before and after shot.

CLOSING....CLOSED.

I closed on 1045 Gardendale today at 4pm.

Handed over my cashier's check, signed way too many papers, and got the keys.

The fun begins now.
