Moving, Moving, Moving

No, I’m not actually moving yet. Wouldn’t that be nice?  What’s moving is the progress on my house. They have officially kicked it into high gear.

This week they finished our roof. The plumber roughed in our basement bathroom and drilled all the holes for the water lines he’ll put in this week. We meet with the electrician on Tuesday. We picked all of our carpet and tile this weekend. Things are coming along. . .

The progress at the end of the week, minus our poured basement floor, garage floor and front porch.

The entranceway. Yippee!  We have a front door!

The arched entryway and front porch are done!

By the end of this week, maybe we’ll have some siding and stone!

In other news, a friend of mine from the dojo has started her own business. If you’re a martial artist, you have to check out Bags of Character. She has set up shop on my site and accepts payments through paypal. I happen to own a beautiful blue nunchaku bag and you should own one or eight too. Just so everyone is clear, I have no financial interest in this endeavor, although clearly I wish I would have thought of it myself (oh, and also that I could sew).

    4. I am so glad to see that they’re making progress on your house!! That’s wonderful news! It’s always uplifting to see something go from an open lot to a frame to an actual structure! I’m glad it’s moving along!
    When is the move-in date?

    5. Wow, thanks so much for that link! I start weapons training next month. I can’t remember what she said it’s called (it’s not the bo–I just missed that “rotation”) but once I know what in the heck I’ll be using, I can come back and get the bag for it! =-)
