Piece by piece
Long time no post.
Sooo... let's see... we put the condo under contract on Sunday. Everything looks like a go for that, so that's nice to have taken care of. We close tenatively on August 15. They had their inspection done today, I assume I will hear something from them tomorrow, though I don't see what the inspector could say is wrong with the condo. Er.. I should say.. nothing wrong with it that we are going to fix. *crosses fingers*
I started my job this week! So far so good. The guy I am replacing is their resident bad-ass, so I have some shoes to fill. I should do fine. But the thing is, he leaves this Thursday, and I have to learn a LOT of stuff from him before then. He's the only one that knows a lot of the stuff. It's definitely a challenge. Definitely has a small company feel. It kinda feels like if I don't learn his stuff and get up to speed quickly, the company could be in jeopardy. That's probably taking it a little too far, but they would definitely feel an impact if I don't come up to speed fast. That's kinda cool though, in a way. Like I said, a small company feel, for sure.
We started tiling the kitchen floor tonight. It is looking really good. Ignore the white in the pictures below. That's the thinset and you won't see that when it's done. It's going to look awesome!
We still have no kitchen faucet! We've had to order 4 different pieces for it now. We bought it on eBay. We bought 4 others on eBay and they were all fine, but this one definitely has had its issues. This is the last replaceable part though. This one we have on order now has GOT to be it. Should be here very soon. That said, Kohler has EXCELLENT warranty and support. They ship replacement parts without any questions. I've been very pleased with them.
Oh, and we hooked up VoIP at home now too. So we have a home phone again. We did it really b/c it's cheaper than having to rent a cell phone from the home alarm company. Plus we get free long distance with the VoIP line. We used VoicePulse. They are supposed to have a lot of features. I haven't had a cance to mess with it yet though.
Oh, and I bought a leaf blower/vac. I haven't had a chance to mess with that yet either, but it'll be cool. I mowed the yard a few days ago and there are still clippings in the driveway. It'll be nice to be able to vac all that right after I mow next time.
OK.... off to bed. Some of us have jobs around here. Just kidding :)
G'night.
The stack of tile is getting smaller.
The beginning of the kitchen.
Lots of color variance.
The end of night one.
