We passed!

The only thing I need to complete inside is sealing and grouting the slate backsplashes, and closet systems in three closets (two easy, one complex). Outside I need to stain the front deck, wrap two beams, re-wrap the exterior doors, and finish the 16x38 back deck. The hard stuff is done.

Pics this weekend.

Moving this weekend. Yuck.

We'll have KK swing by on one of his trips through the area, as it would be nice to have someone give us some ideas. Seriously. Pretty tapped out on the house at the moment, so landscaping will wait untilnext spring, but we knew that was our plan all along. (I remember KK saying how folks never leave money for the landscaping )

The big McCleary city wide garage sale is next weekend, the 19th & 20th, so we get to get rid of everything that doesn't make the grade to go into the new house. Everything that doesn't sell goes to Goodwill, or the dump. That was perfect timing!

Anything with fur feathers or fins will be in danger the weekend after that.

Longest year of my life, and I lost 39 pounds. Best shape I've been in since my 20's. Learned a few new skills as well.
