Month: April 2006

There was some pretty awesome storms last night. I caught some crazy lightning overtop of the new house. Thankfully it didn’t actually hit the house, seeming as it’s out in the middle of nowhere and doesn’t have lightning rods installed yet.

Other house news: All of the cabinets and countertops were installed yesterday. The final electric and plumbing should be started today as well. Hopefully when I get home from work I can flip on a light switch and maybe wash my hands in a sink. Kruts put in the well water line yesterday and are going to test it and pressurize the tank today. They did a great job on everything. The trim work should be finished up by this Saturday I believe. All that will be left is flooring and odds and ends. Less than 3 weeks til closing!

A huge HUGE thank you to everyone that came to help paint! We couldn’t have done it without you. It was a large week long project to tackle, but we did it. An entire house painted with 3 coats, amazing. Thanks a million!!

we’ve been painting since sunday. we have 1 coat of primer throughout the whole house and nearly 1 coat of color in the house. it’s going to be okay for us to get the entire house painted by sunday. all the trim and doors have been delivered and the cabinets are on the way. we also received perminant power last week, but we only have 1 outlet in the house, so it’s still a bit of a pain, try painting in the dark with only 1 outlet to work with.

these last few weeks are going to fly by. the krut’s have their rig in the yard and just got the well drilled two days ago, 4 gallon a minute at 270ft. comcast pulled their line through the conduit, now I just need to call Verizon so that I can get that trench filled in.

it’s all sorts of crazy at the house, check out all the fun pictures below. oh, and quit looking at this site and come help us paint!

thanks to: Mom & Glenno, Carol & George, Aunt Vickie & Uncle Bill, John & Kristie, Uncle John & Aunt Bonnie, Amanda & Travis, Rich & Jacob for coming out to help us paint this week!! We couldn’t have done it without you guys!
