Spring Break '09!

So, my week off ended up being a very productive time at the house. Jeremy still had to work his usual hours, but he made a lot of things happen over the last 10 days. Probably the most exciting thing was that we finally have electricity and were able to unplug from our wonderful neighbor's house! They have been allowing us to use their electricity to run our power tools for the last year, but now we have severed the umbilical cord. :) JB got most of the switches and outlets wired up and so we also have working lights! The HVAC guys came by and finished their job, so we could have temperature control. No more freezing (or sweating) while working inside. We primed all of the rooms and painted everything but the kitchen. We went with pretty neutral colors, but we love them. We got hooked up with cable and phone...so there are many more channels to watch now besides 2, 4, 5, and 8. Don let us use his bobcat to finish grading the rest of the yard, so the big dirt piles are now smoothed out and ready for grass seed and straw (Thanks, Chuck!). We also got rid of the old culvert concrete pieces and got a new culvert installed and covered up. Other than all of that, we pretty much just did a major clean up in and around the house, plus Jeremy is starting a garden in the back yard with his spare time. :) It's all starting to come together and we will hopefully be in there within a few more weeks!
