Ok - Enjoy this while I have it!
We will disconnect all this tomorrow or Monday, so I'm trying to get everyone notified how to email me when I drop the Cox connection. One of the disappointments is I discovered yesterday I can't get DSL yet. Long story about I'm too far from the switch even tho my neighbor has it. We have service from the same box and he is farther back on the lot than we are. Also - we are physically closer to the switch as he is between us and the switch, but according to the person I talked to yesterday, in who knows where, our particular line is routed differently. "So why don't you just route ours like our neighbors, in a way we can get it?", I ask. Song and dance man gives me some convoluted answer. Anyway, this conversation took place in route back to Andrews when I just called to see why I had not heard from them. Seems they had been trying to contact me at my Andrews number. Duh - they just hooked up my GR land line phone Tuesday...wonder why they didn't try that? Plus I gave them my GR cell number. Anyway, I will hunt down the DSL tech on the ground and find out something from him if I can. I got more real answers from the techs here in Andrews than I ever did on the phone to someone. We will see. Hope they are like the ones I dealt with here. I liked them.
On past the connection woes. The house is still coming along very rapidly. I am really going to love it when it is done. I do love the layout - not disappointed with any of that, but I am getting a little tired of catching mistakes. Somehow I thought I was paying someone to do that. Oh well. We will get that settled next week also. We have been able to resolve all of them so far, but I'm getting a little paranoid about leaving since every time I do, something else happens. We will get back on track soon, please.
As far as progress, we finished the apartment except for some areas in the bathroom and a few trim pieces around the window and outside the front door. It helped tremendously to get the carpet down. It is really cozy. I haven't slept real good there yet, tho, because I keep arranging furniture in my head. I think that will stop once I have actually done it. Usually does. I have changed my mind about 10 times about what I plan to use in there. I think I have settled on using the Victorian queen bed to protect it from the elements. I had decided on the big armoire from our bedroom also, but I have figured out the TV will be postage stamp size from the other side of the room, so will probably use the big one from the current LR. Like anybody cares anyway. Just rambling, but that is, after all, what I do best.
I am finishing the inside packing today and tomorrow here in Andrews. We are supposed to pick up the big truck Monday a.m. and start the serious, final loading. The unfortunate thing is Lar hurt his back last Saturday. Do you think it was from all the heavy lifting he has been doing to load and unload the trailer 9 times? No, he was loading his golf clubs in his pickup. Hmm. No comment. He has seriously been working like a madman, so maybe it just caught up with him. He is taking it really easy today, using a tins (not sure of spelling)unit, eating Advil and using hot packs, etc. He will be getting a massage later today. If he can just make it thru Wednesday, he can relax for a while.
I'm looking forward to seeing W & T's new pad. I have seen the outside and it is beautiful. Sounds like so much fun. Who carried that pool table upstairs? I guess that's where you put it. I need some of that "strong man" stuff at our place next Wednesday afternoon.
Gwing, I don't know who you are yet, so give me some more clues. V & D, that sounds like fun. Walnut Springs seems to have some nice stuff available and that is very close to us. If you are there anytime after Wednesday of next week (10/13), drop in to see us. I will email our address & phone numbers to everyone if I haven't already. Bro, yes, I will be getting a new computer. I have to keep the laptop going for a while to finish out some business stuff, but want a desktop soon, so we will be talking.
Just talked to Bec, and they are still coming along on the Midland place, but still a little ways out to be finished. Maybe I will send over some of our crews...or not. The trip charge might get a little steep.
Ok, gotta go pack some more boxes. I KNOW all of you wish you were here. I know I do. Bye for now.
