Our House

So our house is slowly getting there ("there" being looking like a nice lived in house as opposed to something under construction). I will try to post pictures of it shortly. We now have proper lighting and ceiling fans as opposed to the hanging exposed lightbulbs, we have nice bookshelves in our living room, and Daniel picked up our kitchen table today which we are excited about. We also hung a decent amount of pictures on the wall so they are not bare- although we still have a ways to go in that department. For some absurd reason, the couch that we ordered on Jan. 1 is supposed to come at the end of March. Hopefully it will actually come then ( the good news is that its already March), and we will actually feel furnished. Of course there are still lots of things to buy somewhere down the line........but at this point we have the big neccesities and most other things can wait. (Yes we have beds and closets that I did not explicitly list).

As is the stereotype, dealing with our kablan (builder) has not been a piece of cake (or even a small cookie, raisin, or bean). Daniel stayed home on Tues. so that people could come do stuff since normally we are not home at all during the day, except on Friday when many of them don't work. Unfortunately, even though we repeatedly specified who needed to come and tried to confirm that they would actually be coming on that day- you guessed it- we got a paint guy for about an hour, and clean up/tile guy for a few hours, and nobody else! At least we had scheduled our own electrician to come that day and do all the lighting so at least that was productive. The saga continues..........
