Almost, Almost, Almost Ready...

It has been five days since we went by the new house. Guess what? Not much was done other than putting in the sinks in the master and secondary bath (basement bathroom is still waiting), Euro Shower installed, basement shower enclosure installed (needs to be tweaked as the enclosure is rickety), outside painting has been completed (including the front door which looks cool) and mirrors for the bathrooms…

The basement window well has been pounded out (we can live with it).

The walk through is only four days away…

Secondary Bath Sinks

Master Bath Sinks (nice choice huh?)

Euro Shower Door

Downstairs Bathroom

View From Living Room (looks the same as last week). The hole in the wall on the right side is where the refrigerator will be. We will be going shopping for a refrigerator this weekend

The Paint Looks Good

The Grading Has Been Improved (notice the retaining wall)

Like The Color (missing trim on the top of the door?)

Need Landscaping!!

Still Need Landscaping!

I most likely will not be posting anything new until the walkthrough is complete. Hopefully the cosmetic stuff (vacuuming, painters tape removed, hardwood floor buffing, windows clean, electricity, water, gas) will be complete (or close to) next Thursday.

Until then…..

California, Arizona & Back Again

Well, Israel is a bust this year too... Time to visit the family via a road trip. We figure it will take two days of driving to reach California. Of course we will make planned stops along the way. First stop, Antelope Valley State Park in Utah. Only a hour drive from Salt Lake City. From Top to Bottom: Buffalo Wide Angle Shot of the Lake Infrared Photo of the Plains Infrared Photo of the Lake We spent a lot of time there shooting the buffalos (with cameras) but we were loosing light fast. Major flying insect invasion. Sounded like rain when driving. Next stop, Bonneville Salt Flats, UT Not much to say here other than it is fun as fuck to drive at 110 mph here. Back in the car and headed out to the Bay Area. We decided to stay in Suisun City for the first two nights so we could visit with mom before heading out to the Wine Country. The Hampton Inn in Suisun City (infrared photo) After we visited with mom, we headed out to our next adventure, Safari We...

Jordan Day 1

It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel. THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time. The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan. We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference). We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage. No such luck! We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver. If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase. We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks). The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going. Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable. The hotel had a ro...

Now We Wait….

I guess that we were a little anxious this morning. We set the alarm for 5am but we woke up at 4:30 and decided to get up. A few cups of coffee later and we were ready to leave. We took showers and double/triple checked the bags ensuring that we had everything we need. After placing the MacBooks in the backpack the true weight was realized. Due to the morning traffic, we took the toll road (E-470). We made it to the DIA in under 30 minutes but ended up in the wrong arrival lane (as opposed to departure) and drove around the airport aimlessly. Poor Travis. He has no idea how to get out of here. I gave him $3 for parking and sent him on his way. Within a half hour Travis posted that he has our house to himself while we are gone. You would think that he would wait until we were out of the country before he posted that. I quickly sent him a response to his post. We are at the departure gate waiting for our plane to land. The flight is on time and we (should) be boarding within ...
