And now for something completely different...
Ok, here’s a non-house-related blog. Of course, if it isn’t house related it must be wedding related since those are pretty much the only things I think of outside of work.
I met with Tom & Alice (ceremony musicians) on Saturday morning. We’d had to reschedule because of a family emergency (not mine) and Adam couldn’t make it because he was at work. Not that it matters much since he really doesn’t care about the music. I had created a spreadsheet outlining my thoughts and was open for insight and suggestions. Basically they took what I wrote, agreed with it, and we went with it. So, for anyone who cares, this is what’s on the program:
Alice will be singing three songs as a prelude (can’t remember what they are...more secular than religious though. Think Lifetime of Love.) Adam and I picked these at the first meeting and (this will sound kind of bad) I was relatively unconcerned about these since I won’t be there to hear them anyway. The processional will be Bach’s Air on the G String… played on the organ. It’s mellow, but still has a definite bass line beat to walk to. And it’s not marchy. Perhaps the one traditional element that slipped through is the “Here Comes the Bride” for my entrance. What can I say, I want fanfare… We’ll have an instrumental version of One Hand, One Heart during the unity candle lighting and the Ave Maria will remain at the Silent Communion. The recessional is the Allegro Maestoso from Handel’s Water Music. Yeah, I had to relent to some Water Music, but it’s an acceptable movement. A nice, grand way to end the ceremony. Granted, it’s not Widor, but it’ll have to do. :)
Adam’s mom dropped off the revised RSVP cards on Saturday so I went to work assembling the invitations yesterday morning. I had already printed address and reply labels but for some reason my stupid printer decided to randomly print a few of them incorrectly so I had to reprint a bunch. A lot of black ink, sticky fingers, and paper cuts later I have all but two of them done. I managed to lose one address and I’m still waiting for a last name (**Ahem… Dad**) on the other. Pretty good I’d say. I haven’t sealed them yet. I wasn’t feeling drooly enough to use my saliva up on them. I might do them in batches to avoid dehydration. Then I’ll slap a silver sticker thingy on them and haul them to the post office. I didn’t count them but I think we were up to 66 or 67. Not too bad – and that translates to 128 guests. We should get to our 75 reception minimum no problem right? (Fingers crossed!)
Other items on my wedding to-do list (Yes, I have a separate list for wedding tasks. I’m a huge dork.):
1. Find shoes for the Catherines. I’m sucking at this. And I need to kind of have it figured out by the 30th (our first fitting appointment.)
2. Meet with Father Mike to finalize the ceremony. Although I suppose we need to figure out what we want before we do this…
3. Meet with DJ and go through music lists.
4. Get my ring inspected. Adam’s was sent in to be sized on Saturday. Size 14.25! (I’m a 5.75!) My ring will be sized in late July – I’m having them solder the two together right away and I don’t want a naked finger for too long…
5. I’m a few attendant gifts short still. Fortunately I have ideas and I just need to get out there and act on them. Adam’s gift on the other hand… don’t know about that yet.
Anyway, that’s about it. Focus definitely remains on packing and cleaning. We just had the bad judgment to schedule our moving van on the same day (this Saturday!) the invitations are supposed to go out. But it’s under control. No worries!

Days 7-10
All the days seem to run together if I don't keep on top of this posting a blog thing so I'm just going to try and go through everything that we've accomplished to the best of my sad memory's ability.
Adam finished up tiling the kitchen and dining room. It's all done except for a strip along the entrance hallway, a strip along the dining room wall, and the front closet area. He plans to finish those up tonight. He caulked along where the appliances go so it was ready for them and his dad caulked the rest yesterday afternoon.
Speaking of appliances, the new stove and fridge were delivered yesterday afternoon. Yay! The fridge is much larger than we thought and it sticks out a lot more than we expected but it works. And it makes ice! And the stove has a glass top! And they're all pretty and clean and new! Exclamation point overload!!! Unfortunately we have no food so it might be a few days before I get around to using them. (Sorry about the blurry pictures, I must have shaky hands... or maybe I just needed caffeine or something)
Thursday night we made another trip to Lowe's to exchange the previously mentioned broken ceiling fan parts. (Ooh, pretty)
We also picked up some additional doorknobs and some other supplies. And a new doorbell. And a programmable thermostat. Yeah, pretty much everything is getting replaced.
Adam's mom and sister were busy on Wednesday as well, decapitating the doomed lilac bush.
His mom and dad came back yesterday morning to finish the job and take down the tree by the guest bedroom as well.
While they were outside I busied myself inside by unpacking the kitchen. Well, most of it anyway. You might notice the countertop is a little... cluttered. :) I got the pantry stocked and our alcohol glasses took up an entire cupboard all by themselves.
Other incidental activites:
The doorbell replacement didn't go so well when Adam realized the transformer installed wasn't supplying enough power to make the new chime chime. The front door ringer thingy doesn't work anyway. So we decided to go wireless.
I took the old shower curtain rod in the hall bathroom down. I had to do it in two different segments because it contained the worlds longest screw ever and my arm got tired (wow, now there's a sentence loaded with dirty possibilities!) I thought my brain was messing with me until I looked at the screws and yes, one is much longer than all the others. Cruel, cruel shower curtain rod.
A few more trips brought additional crap over to the house. All the wedding stuff is over there now along with most of the kitchen (excluding my menagerie of small appliances that need counter space to survive.) I brought over a lot of our clothing and my shoes. We're in good shape to move furniture next Saturday.

Days 5 & 6
Nicely cut lawn - so I guess the new lawnmower works ok...
Tile progress Tuesday night
Day 5
Monday was back to normal – I went to work and so did Adam – and so the house languished alone all day long. After work I went to the apartment, loaded some boxes into my car, and headed over the house to unload some more of our belongings. Adam got there about 15 minutes after I did and continued to work on getting the new floor down. His dad came over after he was done at work and when he got there I left to go back to the apartment. I had planned to start wedding invitation assembly but I realized that there was apparently a breakdown in communication somewhere and all the reply cards had been printed incorrectly. So I got the address labels printed but I’ll have to wait to actually start putting them together until I get the corrected reply cards.
Day 6
Adam had off from work all day yesterday to work on getting the kitchen tiles in and to be there for the cable guy. Installation and wiring of the house was successful and there is now cable/internet in all three bedrooms, the living room, and even the kitchen. They were unable to set up the telephone since we let them know too late but we’ll be having them come back to add that on in the near future. Great progress was made on the kitchen floor front as well. I had my first IMA board meeting so I had to leave before 6 (and before his dad showed up) but according to the picture, I’d say it’s probably 1/3 done. In any case, the important stuff is done – our new appliances are due to show up this weekend. The carpet place will be stopping by tomorrow to do final measurements and they plan to install the carpeting in the master next Tuesday morning. And with that we’ll be pretty much set. We have the U-Haul reserved for the 16th along with a pressure washer. Some random incidental things (fixing the broken fan bulb covers, changing light bulbs, cleaning!) and we’ll be ready to move in and unpack. Most of the big stuff is done though (or in progress.)
Tonight I believe Adam will continue plugging away with the tile. We also plan to bring over the rest of the boxes I’d already packed up. Unfortunately this barely makes a dent in the amount of stuff at our apartment. I haven’t decided yet what I’m going to do tonight. I can stay at the house and clean the second bathroom, put up the new curtain rod and hang the curtain, clean other things, unpack towels. Or I can stay at the apartment and start packing the rest of our stuff. The kitchen is pretty much done except for what we need to keep there until we officially leave. There are some closets, clothes, all the wedding stuff. I don’t know. I guess I’ll see what happens.

Day 4
Lights in the ceiling fans! We can see after dark!
Over the toilet storage in both bathrooms assembled (but not attached to the wall yet)
Carpet in dining room cut and removed
Funkadelic ceiling fan in living room almost done (two lightbulb covers were broken and we need to trek to Lowe's to get replacements)
New underlying floor installation started in kitchen (more on that later)
A nice plant from our friendly next-door neighbors
Ok, so Sunday (Day 4) will not go down as the least stressful day of home-ownership. I was feeling like crap and spent most of the morning sleeping. And most of the afternoon for that matter. Anyway, I missed most of the exitement. Adam went over to the house yesterday morning to continue where we'd left off on Saturday - ceiling fans, kitchen floor. A few things happened:
1) Torrential downpours all morning combined with a leaky (and uncovered) basement window = 2+ inches of water in the basement. Luckily it's completely unfinished and there is nothing down there. Well, except for some puddles now... Anyway, after discovering the home warranty we got at closing doesn't cover windows (what's that about?) Adam and his dad pulled some deck boards up (because the leaky window would have to be the one under the deck, right?) and put the window well cover from the side of the house onto that window. We'll see if it works. It rained a lot today as well so when I head over there in a little bit I'll check for standing water.
2) The paper backing to the previous vinyl floor in the kitchen just would not come up. They tried some adhesive solvent stuff but that didn't help. So it was determined that the easiest solution would be to buy 1/4" plywood, recover the kitchen and dining room with it and start tiling over that fresh surface. Alrighty!
Other than that the day seems to have gone well. I can't really say since I wasn't there for most of it. We're still making progress and things should be on schedule. We're having an issue with the carpet installation (due to misinformation given to us by the salesperson) but hopefully that gets worked out.
Tomorrow the cable guy comes to wire the house for tv, internet, and phone. Yes, we decided to get a landline after neither of our cell phones worked decently while inside the house.
So far the "house buying expenses" total up to almost $5,000... and we're not done yet! Money pit indeed.

Day 3
2nd coat of paint done in master bedroom, ceiling fan up, floor cleared off. Now we wait for the new carpet.
Ceiling fan up in second bedroom
Stupid wall in kitchen knocked down (there were two holes in the floor underneath that we didn't expect to find. Hence the patch there.) and all the flooring ripped up.
Dishwasher installed (and it works!)
Plans for today (since it's raining again) include scraping off the paper on the kitchen floor and priming it for tiles, getting the other two ceiling fans up, assembly of over-the-toilet storage in both bathrooms, and who know what else - the shopping list continues to grow.

Recent Page-a-Day Dilbert
Reminded me of a conversation I had with Evan a few years back regarding English majors...
bwahahahahahaha
My First Blog Entry as a Homeowner!
Honestly, the whole closing thing was a lot less stressful and scary than all you people would have me believe. It took about 40 minutes and 15 of that was us all chatting while the title person made copies and cut checks. Everything I signed were things I had already seen in one form or another. It was so simple to bind myself to a bank for 30 years, promising to pay them a ridiculous amount of interest on a piece of property.
Anyway, after we finished at the title company we went back to the apartment to pick up the trailer that Adam had loaded earlier in the day. We then headed to the house where Adam prompty uprooted the "For Sale" sign. We then unloaded the trailer, the car, and my car. I took pictures of every room as a "before" tour (click on any picture for full-size version):
Ugly pink master bedroom - We're painting it and replacing the window treatments (oh, and getting rid of that random hanging basket...)
Master bath - not really doing anything in here unless we have extra paint
Second bathroom - not really doing anything here either aside from pitching that ugly wicker thing
Bedroom 2 - will be the guest/computer room - not doing anything in this room
Bedroom 3 - will be the pet room - not doing anything in this room either
Kitchen - definitely where most of the work will take place. We're replacing the existing dishwasher, stove, and range hood in addition to ripping up the flooring and putting in new tile. And getting new curtains.
and we're ripping out this stupid wall
Dining room - removing about 2/3 of the carpet, replacing it with tile.
Living room - not really doing anything in here
This lilac tree's days are numbered - it's going as soon as we get some really big hedge clippers
The rest of the yard is just fine though...
The sellers left us a big stack of wood for the fireplace
Ok. Mini-tour over.
Originally the first order of business was knocking down the retarded wall in the kitchen. When Adam tried to find something to plug in the outlet so we could tell when he shut off power to the right area he got distracted and ended up putting the garbage disposal together instead. Look at the 70's looking disposal they had originally:
He then removed the range hood and took down the ugly curtains in the equally ugly bedroom:
We then took a break for dinner. His parents got there right as we got back from eating. His mom and I went to work on painting the ugly room while Adam and his dad worked in the kitchen, installing the disposal, installing the new range hood, removing the stove and dishwasher, and installing the new dishwasher. Kind of. There is some kind of plumbing issue so it's not totally installed yet, but it's close.
At the end of day one, our progress was encouraging:
First coat of paint done in ugly bedroom except for inside the closet (Adam needs to remove the shelf first). Oh yeah, we ripped up the carpet before we painted so that's why everything is a trippy green color.
Kind of a disaster area for the time being, but a good chunk of progress made in the kitchen.
Originally I was going to start taking boxes over there tonight but between being sore (argh, my shoulders!) and the rain, I decided to stay here and pack up the kitchen. And write this totally long blog post. I plan to keep taking pictures of our progress. Home improvement is so much fun. :)
