Finally -- got our house!

15 years ago

Moving day is not set yet, but

We finally have a purchase agreement on the house we have wanted for two years. This has been a very long time.

Do any of you remember about two years ago when I asked you about decideing between two houses. One has an ideal Living Room set up for when the kids are all over, the other has an awesome kitchen........

Well, we are finally buying the one with the great kitchen!

We will be moving in 2 - 3 weeks. We're half packed already.

Here is a picture of the new kitchen.

Thanks everyone! Now the fun begins. Digging starts today. It is a race against winter. Babies are definately exciting. My wife has not been feeling well at all, which is not fun. It also leaves me with a ton on my plate. I get a 2.5 yr old to take care, trying to keep the house decent, we just started a new year of school and my class is almost double what it was last year, and now I am building a house. I think I can see the hair turning gray daily. We are pretty far north of the moonlight fire (75 miles), but are feeling the effects smoke wise. Yesterday was a lot better than the last three days. It was like it was overcast, but you could taste the smoke. kats - it is amazing the power the FD can have. Our fire board hired a chief 2 yrs ago that had been fired from his last three chief's jobs. Smart huh! His practices pretty much halted growth. He made regulations that were much stricter than county code, such as needing 20ft wide driveways, super high flow looped hydrants, paved drives, ect. He also tried to implement a mello-roos district. The board backed him the whole way. It was ugly but we fought it and won. We now have a new chief and a reeling board (who will most likely be recalled). thanks again for the encouragement. I had some family and friends who have not made it up here request a video tour of our property. I now just need to edit it small enough to get it online. I will share when I am finished.

Thanks so much for the nice comments! Yeah our little Schnauzer is such a sweety! Marti, I got the new comforter set at Marshalls. I don't remember the brand name though. It shows up in these pictures as having a blue tint to it, but, it is a true sage color. I got the dog prints at Hobby Lobby! Love em!

Help! Major mistake occured in the pouring of our foundation
Q

We shouldn't guess about the structural solution without knowing the configuration of the wall. The issue is the wall's ability to resist the force of the unbalanced fill and we son't know what that is or how far the nearest perpendicular bracing wall is. The solution may be horizontal dowels (rebar drilled into wall) if the wall is laterally braced nearby or it might require a new perpendicular interior wing wall or removing the wall back to the nearest perpendicular brace. Waterproofing can be easily maintained with the original system or a better one if necessary. Ask them for a better one for free. I like cold sprayed modified asphalt with a protective drainage board over it. A sheet membrane is another option, but the project could be in a desert where waterproofing is not important. This isn't a difficult problem but it can't be solved in the abstract. Let the pros propose a solution. DO NOT let a lawyer contact anyone for any reason; there is no dispute. Even if there were a potential dispute it would be best to find a reasonable solution before raising that issue because if the work stops you have a much more serious problem.

Finally got our Frame TV but…
Q
Comments (37)
Arapaho, as someone mentioned above, the quality of the TV image is compromised somewhat in order to create the matte-like effect for when it is in "artwork mode." We were told that the latest "model" Samsung Frame (year, really) is an improvement over the 2021 and earlier versions in this regard. We were also told a new model is coming out in 2023? I didn't ask when. As with flat screens generally, each generation costs less and has improved performance. With tech I always feel it's just about when you want to jump in! They are having big sales now, but you know how that goes. The competing frame products, we were told, have better pics but are less realistic as art, and cost significantly more than the Samsung Frame (75% more for one model we looked at). And if you have wondered why you can't do this on any old monitor, it is because, as you many know, it will "burn" the image on to the monitor if left with one image for an extended period. PS KSWL is meeting with Santa in a few weeks if you want her to put in a word.

Well, its about time! :)

Judy, we had our offer accepted. Closing is for the 27th of this month.

Now, to get the other house fixed up with a new roof, and on the market...

Awww, lets not talk about it. I rather ride some more in that awful wind.
