Friday morning with the long awaited delivery of our concrete tile for the roof. I LOVE the colors, BUT the pitch of my roof is so low, you can't really see it, so I pretty much stressed about the perfect colors for nothing! Oh well, at least the planes landing at the airport will get to appreciate. We also had work done at our current house being done in order to put it up for sale in the next couple of weeks. So, since I was having work done at our current house, I had lots of time to get some stuff picked out for the new house. We had to move furniture from one side of the house to the other. What a mess the house was in! Plus, meet with a trim carpenter and granite fabricator. The house was seriously a revolving door of contractors in and out ALL DAY LONG!!!! Nothing like your house being a complete disaster with people coming over to meet you. Needless to say, I was exhausted after Friday and went to bed before 11pm.
Saturday was the same eventful day. I had to go unlock the new house before 8:30am to let the AC guy in and check on the roofers. Then, the concrete floor guy (#trustmedonteverhaveconcretefloors)doing work at our current house came to finish the job which meant moving more furniture. Then, we had to meet the dumpster guy so he could move the dumpster at our new house from the storm. That was a NIGHTMARE!! Four hours later from the scheduled arrival, he FINALLY showed up! At least that is taken care of now though. #nomorestormsplease
The disaster that is the living room!
This was not fun to clean up!
After all that stuff was done, Jason and I went to look at light fixtures so I could get some visions of things I liked from the internet. Poor Husband has no sense of style or vision!! Good thing I know what looks good and what doesn't. I love my Husband for letting me pretty much have all the say in this house. I think he is going to be last forever in the new house! I also think he is really getting sad at the thought of leaving the current house. Afterall, it was his first "real" house, so I totally get it. But, this girl right here, can't wait to get out of this house!!! I wish I could count down the days to moving day!! I can't wait to have a house that is ALL ME!!! If I could kick this current house, I would!! The last time I drive away from it will be THE BEST!!!! #getmeawayfrombarcentralnow
So, after all the house stuff on Saturday, Jason wanted to go to Choctaw. The Man doesn't ask for much, so I figured why not. It will be good to take a little road trip together anyways! When we arrived, Jason headed to the craps table and I went to the roulette table. I think it was about 20 minutes later, when Jason was standing behind me which I knew that could only mean one thing. He lost......I on the other hand was doing GREAT!!! So, I kept playing and he just watch and I would make bets for him since you have to pay a .50 tax for every hand you play. I started with $100 and ended up with an additional $400 so I got the my money back. I can't say the same for Jason!!!
Sunday was time to put the house back together so I of course called my favorite Brother in Law to help move furniture! He is kind of like my pseudo kid! He lived with us for the summer last year and I still kind of miss him. He was like my little helper around the house!
I got so many things accomplished through the week and so glad my weekend turned out to be pretty awesome! It made up for last weekend for sure!!! Now it is onto this week and getting more things done for the house. Some of these contractors make me crazy with their lackadaisical ways!!! This is the part of building a house that sucks! You are depending on pretty undependable people! Oh well, it will all work out and the house will get done at some point. Like my Sister in Law tells me, at least I have a house to live in and not an apartment! I feel sorry for her stuck in an apartment with two kids! They are about to have to go month to month making their monthly rent more than our monthly house payment! I told her to come on over and move in over here versus paying that kind of crazy amount!!! That is insane!!! They are having several issues over at their new house, so I am pretty certain we will be in our new house way before theirs gets completed at this point. Actually, at this rate, I am pretty sure out of the three houses, mine is going to end up being done first. #beingcompletelycrazyandhavingtobeincontrolhasitsbenefits
