I'll be checking in a little less often

[tdog]

Well gents, as some of you know the wife and I got a little fed up with the direction our neighborhood was headed so we bit the bullet and sold our house. Damn thing was on the market for 4 days and then we haggled over specifics on a contract for 3 days. So the house was contracted in one week. We started packing and got everything moved the weekend before last and closed on it last Wednesday. The new house is being framed and has the roof and shingles on it now. Here is the kicker: the wife and I have moved in with my parents until August when we close on the new one. I never thought I would move back in with them but hey, it happens.

The reason why I will be on less is because they have a very slow dial-up connection. I guess I was spoiled by my high-speed. So now I will be checking in at my sisters house next door when I can. Also, I don't want to spend as much time on as I did when I was at home because it is pretty nice getting to spend some time with my parents, especially my dad. Not sure how much longer he is going to be around. He is an insulin-dependant diabetic with very poor circulation and health. I took him out to eat for Father's day and we had a good time.

Well anyways, enough rambling, I will check in when I can and try and post some pics of the new house as it goes along.


See ya B'sOTL

Hey, don't dis my dial up, man. That's all I've got and I'm here almost everyday...wait...maybe that isn't a good thing.


Good luck with the new place. It is always nice to spend some time with the family, especially once we're (the kids) a bit older and a bit more appreciative of the folks. Family is the most important thing in life. Cherish this time with them. Who knows, you may end up learning more about your old man than you ever thought you would want to know. I sure did when in the same situation. He was a lot cooler when he was younger than I ever thought he was.

Congrats Brian.... when you take those pictures, make sure your wife is in them and not you..... :sign: It'd be perfect to see her showing off the new whirlpool tub.. :sign:

Congratulations on the new house. My wife and I are in the process of building also. Can't wait to move!!

 

[tdog]

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I appreciate all of you, even you Matt.

One good thing about living here is that they have a huge covered front porch to smoke on. No matter the weather, I believe I am going to attack my palate for the next few weeks.

Hopefully a big a$$ rain storm won't come in right after they dig your hole, like at my house. LOL!

Eventually it dried out though....

Then they forgot to put the temporary sump pump back in and it rained again a few weeks later:

I was able to start wiring again within a few days though....
