The cleaning has begun. The trim and transition strip are almost done. Moving is the next on the list. I can't believe it's finally here. The HVAC guy is finishing the last runs so all of the rooms have heat. Last will be internet service. It almost doesn't seem real. For this week's recipe, I [...]
OMG! Have you ever wished for something for a long time and it finally happens? That for me is the house being finished. Well, I am finishing my last task this week before the final cleaning at the end of the week. I installed the final floor this past weekend and Tony is finishing up [...]
NOTE: if you notice that the pictures are different than the recipe, that's because it is. I messed up and put the cake layer down first instead of the pumpkin pie. Oh, well. It still turned out great. I know it's after Thanksgiving, but I figured I would do one more shout out to fall. [...]
This week, I'm mostly took a break from working on the house for Thanksgiving preparations. However, I did want to come up with what to do with the dark meat before the next weekend. Instead of looking up a recipe, I decided to develop one from some of my favorite fall flavors and a wonderful [...]
Elvis has left the building! I mean the tools are leaving the house. This week Tony is removing tools and bringing them to our current house. We're only leaving a few to finish the flooring and other little things. My IT guy brother is finishing the network infrastructure. We are spending most of the week [...]

We are working on the finishing touches before we get to the last room. Today I am performing the tedious task of placing switch plates. That's not as easy as it sounds. Small screws and washers to adjust each one. The kind of work Tony hates. Not because he isn't willing to. He has huge [...]
What a difference a week makes. We are so close that I am running out of things to do until the last room will come together. I expect that the last things that Tony has to do will finish in the next couple of weeks. I finished shower doors in one bathroom. Now it looks [...]
This week I am starting the cleaning of rooms that are finished in the house. Making sure to get the last bit of paint and dust off the floors and doing a final check of where touch ups may be needed. Tony is finishing up any of the other projects in the house. When we [...]
Another week of working on the house. We are so close but yet not quite there yet. I installed a reverse osmosis system, and was so proud of myself. That was until the needle valve started leaking. I hope a new plastic compression sleeve will fix it. Otherwise it's painting and installing shower doors this [...]
