Well, the house is getting very close to being done.   I am mostly packed and have the movers coming next Thursday to do the heavy lifting.    If all goes well, I will be all settled in by labor day.    Unfortunately, it appears that in my quest to get the house completed, I neglected the reason I built it.

I don't normally post much about my personal life.   I prefer to chronicle the gadgets and toys I get but I don't feel much like doing that lately.

It appears my best friend in the world, Alene, wasn't as into the idea of settling down as I was.   She has left to find a different and hopefully happier path in life.    Was it mutual....well...no.   But I do understand her needs and respect her decision.   This last year as we tried to transition from simple boyfriend/girlfriend to something more was a hurdle we just could not overcome.

So, I will go on.   I will move in to the new house, somewhat less enthusiastically, and hopefully having learned something new about myself, relationships and how important it is to cherish those times when you have love as it doesn't always last.

Progress...or else
Saturday, August 05, 2006
 
Well, Ryan informed me 2 weeks ago it was ok to put my house up for sale.    Last Friday it got uploaded to the MLS listings.  It sold in 5 days.   I got a final contract on Tuesday so it's time to get out soon.    We set a closing date of Sept 1.   Nothing like a closing date to motivate a builder.

Ryan assures me that it will be ready.    In fact progress if definitely being seen.   After a very long time waiting for the brick people to get their act in gear, they have finally pulled the brick off the house to make way for the stucco.    Also the fireplace is in (almost) so the major bones are complete.    Looks like we have around 4 weeks to finish the stucco, concrete and landscaping as well as the plumbing, electrical finals and trim.     Wish me luck.
