Gotta love home warranties!



So our range was lighting sporadiacly and the oven was not holding temperature properly. We called the company and they sent a guy out on a sunday night, and $55 later he replaced the spark unit on the range and the ignition unit on the oven and we are back in tip top shape. Much less expensive than a new oven.



Not much else to report.

yeah we have a living room! So after three separate attempts to get the sofa in through 3 different doors, we finally have our living room furniture. It is great to have a couch and chair to sit on. We have even begun staining the tables for the room and should have them in by this weekend and we purchased a ceiling fan last weekend, now all we need is a ladder to get it up there. LOL!

Plus I have started get stuff to decorate the walls so we are slowly starting to feel more settled in.

One day at a time they say. School is going well progress reports went home today and my students have a test this friday.

Hey all

Wow, so Ashley furniture called and will be delivering the furniture this saturday, they could have delivered it on wed, but no one would be home for delivery. Sigh.

Sunday we went and purchased a sofa table, two end tables and a tv table/cabinet from an unfinished furniture store. Jeff is going to stain and finish it himself. They are great durable pieces, hardwoods, and we saved tons by finishing it on our own.

Thanks to all the help from Jeff's Mom who visited this past weekend the kitchen is now 90% done. So I am very grateful.

Things are going really well. The only down side is I appear to have caught a bug, I have a sore throat, and my nose was running all last week. Sigh. But hey if that is all that I have to complain about I am doing pretty darn good.

Wow what a busy month. School has been great, incredibly busy and time consuming but great. I actually look forward to spending my long days there. LOL!

Let's see the closing went smoothly and we moved in Sunday Aug 27, 2007.

We purchased a fridge. We splurged and got a Kenmore Trio, bottom freezer, with french doors in black. It is really nice and having filtered ice cubes is a huge bonus. LOL!

One of our neighbors (a woman who lives 4 doors down from us and ironically works in my school building once or twice a week) showed up with a lasagna, bread and a tossed salad for us as well as a houseplant. While we were talking her husband even mowed our grass since he heard we did not have a lawn mower yet. Talk about hospitality.

This week Jeff went to work on a project he had picked out which was to refinish the 4 x 4 hardwood entranceway to the house. He put the final coat of polyurethene on today and it looks AMAZING!

We also bought a lawn tractor and it was delivered on sunday Sept 2. Sears really loves us first a fridge, then a tractor, and we even almost bought a grill until we found out it could not be converted to natural gas.

I have finished unpacking our closets and have mostly setup the dining room and the kitchen. The guest bedroom is also a set. We are still unpacking and making minor repairs or changes.

Saturday we replaced a shower head in the hall bathroom and it works a million percent better and Jeff installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom today.

All in all we are slowly settling in. Today we finally picked out a living room set. We got a sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman. We are still in search of tables and lamps.

Well I need to finish up some lesson plans. More news hopefully next week.
