About Me

Update

No pics yet, soon.

We are no longer homeless. That lasted a long time, didn't it?

All went smoothly and we closed on the Redmond house last Wed.  Our container of stuff (got to think of George Carlin every time I use that word) should get to SEATAC around Monday and we hope to be offloading soon thereafter.  That should at least be faster than loading was; they give you a whole 6 hours to unload.  Emil says that should be no problem as he has done it before.

So for now we are concentrating of bolstering the local economy.  Seems that we need more stuff before we can settle in.  You know, just the basics; beds, washer/dryer, table saw, jointer, drill press.

Today it is TV hook up, carpet stretching and trying to figure out the heating/cooling system, fireplace and lawn sprinkler.  Seems like they have dandelions here too.  Good thing; I'd hate to give up my war with the evil yellow flowers.

Stay cool.
