I made a site for our house!

The Real Vertical House

It’s pretty simple, but it gets the point across. I’m not one for really flashy, hard-to-navagate sites anyway. It took me about a day to put it all together. Most of it was pulling photos all the way from last December. Going through those photos made it feel like so much still needed to be done. But as I went through and saw the progress, it was a relief to know how far we’ve actually come. If all goes as planned we will be living downstairs before I predicted (hoped). My goal is Thanksgiving. Fingers are in crossed mode.

So this bunny (we dubbed Hops) has been hanging around our yard every night for the past week. We asked our neighbor a few houses down if he was missing a bunny since it looked as if he had a rabbit cage that had been opened. He said it wasn’t his, but the little girl’s one house over. He informed us that this was an indoor/outdoor bunny. He/she would spend most of the day inside, but come evening, venture outside. We’ve been hanging out with Hops and feeding him carrots every time we come home. He’s usually waiting around on our porch and when we go inside to get the carrots, he’ll follow us right on in. He’ll sniff around the house a bit, then go back outside where he’ll munch on two or three carrots. We leave him a dish of water by the front steps. It’s pretty neat to kinda have a pet rabbit. While I don’t think the cats will enjoy him once we move downstairs, for now it’s cute to see him hop through all the rooms. He fits in perfectly with our kitchen, but won’t sit still long enough for me to prove it. He’s a pretty bunny and very friendly. When you sit next to him, he’ll practically sit in your lap while he crunches on the food. Yay for Hops!

Any investors in LJ land?

The Original McMansion

We now have an almost completed kicthen. New floor is down, furniture is in, stove is actually working! Our electrician is going to try to get our fridge hooked up next week…and then, no more eating out. Generally, I love going out to different restaurants, but when you have to do it everyday, everything starts to taste the same – like paper. Like money. Eating away our money.

Only two from a rainy day. Gee, we sure could use another one. Hint hint, mother nature.

What can I say? They are like my children. Andy insisted on getting this elephant hoodie thing and a tie you can put on a cat. Sadie hated the elephant head, but Maple didn’t seem to mind the tie. She actually wore it for quite a while before trying to get it off. No more kitty dress up.

I finally found the perfect flooring for our kitchen and bath. The kitchen floor will be installed next Wednesday. It’s a black and white checkered pattern. Cliche? Maybe…but Andy and I have wanted a floor like this for a looong time. We were hoping to get it done at the house on Strong, but it never happened. And with the kitchen furniture I found for this house, I think it’ll compliment perfectly. The bathroom will be a 1″ white hexagonal ceramic tile pattern. That has to be ordered and will take a bit more waiting time. However, it’s the kitchen I can’t wait to have finished. I’m so tired of eating out. I hate how much money we have to spend to eat crap food. I miss when going out to eat was fun…now it’s become more of a routine. Ah well…one more week!

I actually took these a few days after the fire, but I’m just now getting the internet to post them…
