Because blogger changed the way photos and video get placed into a blog, I haven't figured out how to post a video. So, here's a link to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lynnerd707/4009943631/">the video on our flickr site.</a><br />

Blogger changed things mostly for the better--it's much easier to see how your blog post will look before posting it.

</div>We've moved in, final inspection will take place tomorrow morning and we're finally planning a housewarming party! Everyone whoever listened to us complain about the lot split and house building process is invited. Consider this party a thank you for letting us vent about it all. :) Click on the image above to see the full-size invitation.<br />
<br />
So, final inspection means that we finally got the county to see things our way about the eave soffits. It took 3 months to convince them that we meet the intent of the code and putting up the soffits would only be a waste of time, resources, money and materials, just to meet the code requirements as they are currently written. It's a long story, and I'm done bitching about house building. Really, I am.<br />
<br />
Here's our remaining house to-dos:<br />
prime & paint main bath cabinet<br />
arrange studio (get paper from Art & Ann's!)<br />
hang orange room closet rods, shelves & curtains<br />
finish master bath tile<br />
glass door for master bath shower<br />
paint pump house<br />
pump cover<br />
gravel walk around house<br />
clean up chicken coop<br />
carport<br />
master bedroom window curtains (almost done!)<br />
master bedroom door curtain<br />
orange bedroom roman shade<br />
clean up orange bedroom (currently holding many unpacked items)<br />
find a dining room table<br />
bar stools<br />
plant oak tree (redwoods are in the ground, yay!)<br />
learn to program thermostat<br />
move piano<br />
wire for sound<br />
hang artwork in hallway (most of it has already been hung through the rest of the house, yay!)<br />
stained glass in cabinet doors<br />
permanent shelving in hall closet<br />
repair dings in American Clay Plaster<br />
<br />
A few things were removed from the list, and a couple were added. Please do not bring this list to the housewarming party to see what we're still behind on... :)lynnerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10557987620459348615noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642420691113622907.post-12063384198274812982009-10-04T11:51:00.000-07:002009-10-04T11:51:13.413-07:00It's been 2 months.

Yesterday I took part in my 14th consecutive Pastels on the Plaza. My sponsor was Nancy Diamond, Attorney at Law. I've never heard of her, but it gave me the opportunity to draw whatever I wanted. I searched through my iPhoto library of recent pictures, and found one of Jane's koi pond in Redmond, WA from our vacation in August. It only took about 3 hours, (I was going for simplicity, since Andy was watching Ava and he had other things to do) but I think it turned out rather well.lynnerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10557987620459348615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642420691113622907.post-62098594880656277812009-08-03T23:36:00.000-07:002009-08-03T23:43:12.465-07:00Have you had enough adorableness yet?In mid-July we traveled to Fort Bragg and Mendocino for a friend's wedding.

I'm still exhausted and have been too busy to take any pictures. I'm not going to promise a meaningful post anytime soon... but I would like to thank everyone who helped us move in! We assembled at the old house at 9 am, had all our stuff out by noon, I was the last to arrive at the new house (pizzas in hand) at 1 pm, and the truck/cars were unloaded and all our helpers gone by 3 pm. It was incredible. And only one thing broke: the lid to a loose leaf tea brewing cup that we never use anyway. There are only a few projects that remain unfinished, as far as the contractors go; there are plenty of unfinished projects on my end! I'm off to mull those over as I drift off to sleep.lynnerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10557987620459348615noreply@blogger.com0
