19 days later...

I haven't written since moving day, as it's been quite a whirlwind at my full-time job, followed by house craziness.

Project #1, aka the kitchen, which was started way before moving day is still going on.  Contractors suck!  Permit this, permit office that, all I know is I'm still without a kitchen, which means no gas, which means no hot water, so I am living with my in-laws...  Plan of attack, according to said contractors:  get permits, have electrical and plumbing inspections, close up walls, put down tile, put up cabinets, put in appliances.  We'll see how long that takes.

In the meantime, I have my own projects going on.  Current one being tackled are the master closets.  We don't have fancy walk-ins, but we are still trying to go a little fancier than we've had in the past.  Bought some closet kits at Lowe's, and they were fairly easy to put together (damn cam locks, whatever these things are).

I just didn't realize what a pain in the a** attaching them to the wall would be.  So, the fam came over to help, and 5 hours later, and 3 extra trips to Lowe's later, one closet is majority finished.  Still need to saw a couple poles down to size, but otherwise ready to add clothes, which I'm hoping to do tomorrow.

Here's a crappy picture with a promise to take a better one soon.  And ignore the ugly shoe rack from our old apartment that we set on the ground inside.

That's all for tonight folks!
