House: 3 month countdown
by tanya on Mar.07, 2009, under Uncategorized
Every weekend for the last month or so Ryan and I have been making a weekly trip out to Riverside South to check on the progress of the house. In a month it has gone from foundation to fully framed with a shingled roof, with doors and windows. The pictures show that there is still lots to be done but needless to say that we are ecstatic about there only being less than three months left until we move in. Currently we are scheduled to take posession May 25th, a delay of only 2 weeks. You can see the whole building process in our photo gallery.
We also seem to be visiting Manotick every week as well. Lorraine and Skip kindly opened up their basement to us for storage. It begun with a stove and now the pile takes up a large part of their basement as couches, built in vacuums, and home theatre equipment have gone on sale and were purchased. The house may be constructed by Urbandale but the furnishings will make this the house that Costco built in the end.
In other news, I have thrown myself into the art of Ukranian egg decorating known as psanki. Also, I was recently promoted to become Minister Moore’s Director of Policy.
