We got a call from our PM

Correction:  I got a call from our PM today about where to place an extra outlet that we have.  Excuse me? We have an extra outlet?  Where does it go?  We choose? Wow!
I immediately called my husband who argued with me about the fact that we have it.  Look, I am only reporting what our PM just told me.  Can I put it my craft room?  Why?  Because I want one up high in that room for my equipment.  Put it in SC's room.  He has enough outlets,  But not next to the data link.  Yes he does.  No he doesn't.  Look I will call you back later.

I did call my husband back with the PM on the phone so he can hear everything I told him straight from the horse's mouth.  Like I made all that stuff up, hmph!  The PM did come up with a good comprise: put that extra outlet in our walk in closet.  Good enough- that means we BOTH get use out of it.

Now  for a little clarification.  Our current PM is not the one who told us it would be easy to add the wet bar later.  It was the previous one whom we never met in person.  Kind of glad he moved on after all the trouble he caused (got to blame someone right?).

If anyone cares to know- our part for the range has come in and the repair guy will back out tomorrow.  Probably arriving at the same time as the plumber.  Yep- my kids stopped up our toilet- again.  This time a plunger nor our auger can fix it.  They tell me I'm not allowed to put a "FOR SALE" sign on my kids.  sigh

They're Digging!

I work a typical 9-5 (really not that typical when you work in the pediatrics but I digress).  I held off until 12 noon before I sent my first annoying text to my PM.  He confirmed that they had started digging and was in fact digging at the very moment of the text.

I wanted to drop everything I was doing and rush up there to take pictures of the hole that would soon be our home but I couldn't and actually be back in time to see my first patient of the afternoon.  Worse yet- because it gets dark around 5 pm there was no use of me going up there after work.  So I will have to patiently wait for weekly visits to see the dirt, rock and sticks that will become one fabulous Courtland Gate!

Happy Dance Post

I have been stalking the weather channel like a mad woman, hoping beyond hope that it doesn't rain tomorrow and we can break ground.  I guess all my mad ranting and mumbling have worked because now the chance of rain has dropped down to 20%!  Of course a mixed bag of rain and snow is now at 100% for Wednesday but that can still change.  The next couple weeks actually look real good for finishing the foundation of  the house.   Winter home building in the northeast is going to be a real roller coaster of a ride I can see. 

In the mean time- I will try to keep myself busy with my Etsy shop. Yep I have one of those too, I will talk more about that later.  Any who- as I promised my husband that I will pay for my hard fought for island- I need to make some serious cash with my little shop.  Normally, I wouldn't care as it is really still a fun hobby for me.  But now, I need some of last year's magic to make it happen.  So far I have about $700 probably more like $900 but I prefer to underestimate for this particular project.  

I CAN'T WAIT
