Congrats to Stacey and Adam on their baby son, Damon Jonathan. Damon weighed in at 7lbs, 11 oz, and was born at 1:43 am on Oct 27, 2005.

Went by the house today (Monday) and the guy was out there putting up the siding. He said they were going to finish the siding today, and then finish the interior tomorrow. Sometime he is going to finish the plumbing and the oil hook-up. Meanwhile, he said, someone is going to have to do the electrical work and finish up the rug. After that, the housing inspector needs to look at it, and then he said he and his partner can put the skirt around it.

I am deeply hoping that this is just another week of work, at most. We are all excrutiatingly eager to move into our new home.

Senator Gregg wins big

. . . and it isn’t even an election year! Our local senator was a runner-up in the Powerball drawing, raking in over $800 thousand (before taxes).

Finally, they got our double-wide put together.

For those of you who haven’t been keeping score, our double-wide manufactured home was delivered on Oct 4. Yesterday, on Oct 17th (that’s a day shy of 2 weeks, folks) they started assembling the damned thing.

Granted, it has been raining almost every day for the past 2 weeks, but still, this has been a major set-back and it is very frustrating for us, living in our motel and knowing that our house is just sitting there.

I have some more pictures of the inside of the house. I’ll be updating these frequently as the work progresses, so check back often!
