Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you all had a wonderful day filled of love, chocolate and alcohol.

Let’s update you on the house, shall we? Last you read, they finished the electric! That’s only half true, they finished roughing in the electric. Roughing in- they basically run all of the wire/pipes but don’t hook it up to anything and even though I know this, I’m still paranoid when RC touches the wires. Just something doesn’t seem right!

Monday was hands down one of the most stressful days since starting this “project” but it started to spiral out of control starting on Saturday when we met with our contractor. You see, on our way to the walk through with our electrician we received a note from our current Landlord asking if we were still on track for an April 1 move out date. I hadn’t heard any different but I still asked the question so I was shocked when there was silence on the other side of my conversation. Our cabinet delivery was pushed out a week, and since they were already “late” in the schedule it didn’t help. So now our contractors are doing everything they can to help us move in April 1, thank god they can be flexible! It stresses us out because we did not factor in having to pay month to month rent in our apartment. Month to month rent goes up about $600, which is about $1000 more than I have. So either we’re homeless or I need to start selling organs, anyone need a kidney? You can live without that, right? I bet I can get some good money for these bad boys.

THEN on top of that hanging out in the back of my head we received a call from our cabinet guy saying that we need to either change the height of the cabinets or change to Scrib molding instead of the pretty big molding. We decided to change to 39” cabinets instead of 42” and keep the bigger molding, I figured since standard cabinets are 36” they will still be bigger and I will still have pretty molding which makes it look much more custom (read: expensive).

So that’s why I haven’t updated the blog recently. I didn’t really have anything nice to say and didn’t want to put all of that negative energy towards the house or you but mostly, the house. This was just a little negative energy.. right? maybe not? woof.

Back on the positive energy bus tomorrow!
