All hooked up

So Macky has left and won’t be back until the new door arrives for the office. He thinks it should be here sometime this week so he’ll give us a call. He also has some trim to finish out in the entry hall but at least the more major tasks are complete now.

The dishwasher definitely doesn’t seem to be leaking anymore although the faucet drips in the bath upstairs…something new to add to the list. I’ve still got a test run going with the dishwasher so we’ll see in about an hour if all is indeed well but it’s definitely looking promising since I haven’t seen a drop yet.

My bath layout had to be changed a bit since the hook up for the sink is closer to the corner and the piping for the sink needs to run directly under it…but it still looks good. The cabinet is still a bit off-center but we’ll get to it. Macky didn’t have any of the tools he needed to do it today or it would be done already. I guess as long as I can keep myself from loading stuff up in there just yet, it will be ok. I was rather fond of the plant in the corner but I guess I’ll just have to find a new, more suitable plant to stick somewhere else…maybe after we’ve put up a few pictures and such.

We’ve come a pretty long way from the original room…

   I really enjoy reading about your adventure. The furthest I ever moved was from NJ to Florida, so your story is quite exciting to me. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

   Hi Lillian!
   Thanks for stopping by & it’s always great to hear from new people who find the blog interesting.
   I think I am way over the norm when it comes to moving since I’ve lived in 21 homes in 28 years, across 3 states (TX, VA & FL) and 2 continents lol. My hubby moved from NY to FL and I from VA to FL to go to college in Miami so we’re no stranger to that type of move either. Where in FL are you now?

   We live in Bradenton which is just north of Sarasota and about an hour south of Tampa. And about a mile from Sarasota Bay on the Gulf of Mexico, so I’m not complaining. Except during hurricane season.
   We’ve lived here eleven years now so cold weather has started to seem exotic.

   Since I grew up in Texas and had really only spent 4 years of my life living in cold weather states until we moved here, it was definitely a major adjustment to get used to having 4 seasons again. But I definitely miss “winters” in Miami, feeling like you are freezing when it’s 60 degrees out; everyone all bundled up in huge coats. Southern Florida is really another world in that respect.
