Where's Waldo?

More like "Where's Michael?" Haven't posted a thing in - gosh - five days! I actually haven't rushed home during lunch to answer questions or check on progress for - gosh - three days (if you don't count last week too)! It's been positively relaxing. I worked out on Sunday morning, Monday after work, Tuesday after work, and tonight was tennis night - I haven't been on that kind of a schedule for at least four, maybe five months. Makes me think we're actually done.

But we're not. The two front wall sconces flanking the patio door to the Lido Deck arrived last week, so I installed them on Sunday. The third sconce, for the entry, should arrive tomorrow. The four pendant lights, apricot colored cones with bright tiny halogens are ready for installation too - they're from Tech Lighting, that awesome company that makes the main bathroom fixtures - and they use their proprietary "Freejack" system that brings power down the skinniest of cables to the lamp, and it just screws neatly into the housing on the ceiling. Ingeniously elegant and simple. So I'll certainly be installing those babies this weekend.

Meanwhile, Heather's back in full swing working at the office, working here at home into the wee hours (she was after all gone for a whole week, so she needs to catch up), so things are pretty much back to "normal" again for her it seems. But there are still some things we need to get unpacked and put away, like the spices, and all the stuff that's staged in Heather's new office, which by the way still doesn't have power. I need to figure that one out this weekend too.

We moved our open house to Saturday the 29th, the Saturday after Turkey Day. Sent out an official evite to all our friends whose email addresses we know, but unfortunately we don't know our neighbors' addresses, so we'll have to notify them in person. That's all our thumbs-up neighbors of course.

Oh; I also put together one of those Rubbermaid pre-fab sheds for bicycle and tool storage in the back yard last week. Got to put the door handle and padlock hasp on it though. This weekend. Yeah. It's back to home-improvement on weekends, baby.

And I'm sending Steve and Pete to all my friends because those guys are the absolute best.

Ciao for now; I'll maybe post again on Sunday evening perhaps.
