Well here it is, a 1970's ranch with a 3/4 acre lot on a really quiet neighborhood. The roof is new, both of the air conditioning units are new, the hot water heater is new and the attic was recently professionally insulated. All of the exterior walls are rock and the trees are mostly live oak.
After having the popcorn removed from all of the ceilings the interior was painted , then two days later the first of my storage containers with my furniture arrived. I took my time over the weekend to unload everything and put it in its place. You can see that I still need to figure out what to do with the window coverings, that will be the next project.
It was cold and rainy this weekend so I started my first fire in my first fireplace. The cats and I enjoyed a bit of lounging and listened to music, the television is on the second storage container and that arrives today. I can't say that I have missed not having television and I don't plan on having any more than the local channels and Netflix.
Meet my new favorite neighbors, Andy and Colette Ford. They came by last night and stayed for a few cocktails and some dry overcooked turkey. Both are very smart and interesting. They just moved into their house next door at the exact same time I was moving in, so we are all new to this neighborhood. They both have an album collection and I can't tell if I am intimidated by it, or inspired. I played Kraftwerk over my stereo to try and stump him and Andy knew who they were, he really seems to know a lot about music and I like that.
looks amazing, grover!!!
