Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Sinks

The carpet installation is almost done. Looks like the stairway is the only part left. Well, there is the trimming and placement of the heater vents on the floor and major vacuuming but that is just being picky.

I guess my constant bitching paid off. They finally exposed the hole where the light is going to be in the master bath shower.

Did I mention that they STILL Need to fix the basement window well? It looks like it is caved in.

Let’s get ready to crumbleeellll!

Here is a better shot of the quartz master bath countertops. I can’t believe that we paid $800 to get this done! The sink holes have more surface area than the actual counters. I believe that the entire kitchen cost us $3,000. Maybe I am wrong, maybe it was $300 for the master bath quartz countertops. The price difference between granite and quartz was pretty reasonable and besides, they only gave us four choices of granite and two were the same color. The quartz offered a few more color choices and we NEVER have to seal it. Totally made sense for the master bath countertops.

A little dusty

All of the doors have knobs now. We opted for the brushed nickel so it would match the lighting, counter handles etc.

Current Countdown until we do the initial walkthrough and the signing of escrow

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...

Barr Lake, Colorado (AKA New Lens Test)

What's one to do when you buy a new lens (discounted $300 by the way)? Thats right, go shoot some birds at one of the many Colorado State Parks. Lucky for us, Barr Lake is just a few minute drive for us. We got up at 5am thinking that we would roll out of bed and hit the road. Well, that didn't happen. We got on the road at 6am and arrived a few minutes later. Our new lenses added an additional 3lbs to our backpacks and along with the tripod and water bottles it was a wonder we could walk at all. Our goal was to go out to the Gazebo. Michelle thought it was a short walk (with a 15lb backpack in tow) but it was about 1 1/2 miles. Normally, this would be about 30 minute walk but a ton of birds everywhere it took us about an hour or so to reach our destination. How big are our lenses?

Back From Morocco

I guess I forgot to tell you where we went for our three week vacation…. Morocco! Great trip! Met some new friends and basically toured the Moroccan countryside by bus, horse and buggy, 4x4’s and camel. We stayed at eleven different hotels and spent two nights in the Sahara desert (the Milky Way was awesome). Anyway, here is a link to the pictures that we took. Yes, Michelle and I have separate smug mug accounts for picture posting: Erich’s SmugMug site: https://erichphoto.smugmug.com/International-Travel/Morocco/ Michelle’s SmugMug site: https://michellephoto.smugmug.com/Morocco/ you can see a video slide show as well (the pictures are the same) on my youtube site: https://youtu.be/_fXuiJeJ1cU enjoy
