The rock on the house is still not fixed yet. At one point, the builder told me it would be done by this Wednesday. Well, Wednesday has come, and Wednesday has gone. They also told me a while back that they weren’t going to put the shutters on the house until the rock was changed, because they didn’t want to accidentally damage the shutters. Well, the other day a guy showed up and put the shutters on. I guess it’s time to run over there for another little chat.

There are a few other minor things that need to be fixed in the house. By “a few,” I mean around ten. One of them being my dead tree in the front yard. They also put screws into the walls above my Corian countertops to hold it in temporarily…well, they’re still there. The bad thing about that is, it looks like the screw head scratched the countertop, so I’m not removing them, they are. I’ll keep you guys posted. I miss playing Halo!!

Sorry for the lack of posting, but I got the house keys last Friday. Dave was kind enough to help me with putting up ceiling fans, window blinds, microwave, and even help me move. Thanks Dave! It tooks us all last weekend to get that done. Rebecca and I are still working on getting everything set-up in the house. Last Tuesday, I got my DirecTV installed, so at least we have TV now. I always thought I didn’t watch much TV, but being without it sucks. Instead of unpacking everything, Rebecca wanted to paint the master bathroom and bedroom. Well, she finished that up last night. It looks great. Today, we get the phone line installed..which means it’s only another week or so until I get my high-speed internet, since I use DSL.
