I was (wrongly) under the impression you were living in the house this whole time. You should try living in a construction zone as a married couple. Really tests your relationship. of course, I'm divorced now, so maybe you should hold off. (Joking...the D had nothing to do with the house.)


My wife and I are living with my parents. Great people, but as newlyweds, it is less-than-ideal.

Slow and somewhat steady is much better than rushed and regretful. :D

Isn't that the truth.

The shower door people have flaked, again, so we are waiting there. The countertops are next and then the plumber.

It took us 13 months, but we finally moved in on Saturday. If only the inside was in similar shape. Of course the lattice fell, ha.
