It's Alive

I got my PC setup this evening in the office of my new house. Just had to register the free DNS service I use with the new IP address here and the site is back up and running. I can't sit at my desk for another week and a half though cause I cannot put large rugs down on the newly finished hardwood floors yet. I need the rug so I can roll around on my office chair without damaging the floor.

Getting things in the house and unpacked has been a little slower than I was hoping because I screwed my back up pretty good. I've been self medicating with some old pain medicine for relief. I was able to mow the lawn this evening though. It was getting pretty tall and really needed to be done.

My parents came up this weekend and I was able to get a ton of things done. We got everything from my old apartment moved, redid the electric box (see spreadsheet for more details), got the cable and Internet turned on with cable wired to all of the rooms, a couple trips to Home Depot for supplies, and a lot of much needed yard work done. I'm sure I'm missing something.

This week I'm having my new living room and patio furniture delivered, the outside and inside sprayed for bugs, some roof and guttering work done, and of course more moving stuff inside and unpacking.

Site Down for Awhile

Today, I'll be packing up the computer that hosts this website and moving it to my new house. I'll be pulling the plug this evening and things probably won't be up until Sunday or Monday (assuming I don't run into problems).

I'm an Official Home Owner!!

Two days ago, I closed on my house at 8933 Craig Dr., Overland Park, KS 66212 (map). After all the weeks of looking, going back and forth with contracts, having inspections done, and lining up work to be done, it's finally done! Wait...no it's not. I still have to move all my crap and do the million things to the house I want :(

Right now, all of the hardwood floors are being redone and I'm slowly moving my stuff into the garage. The floors are going to be off limits for furniture until this Sunday so I have to put everything in the garage or basement in the meantime. Speaking of furniture, I got all new patio furniture, sofa, love seat, chair & ottoman, side tables, lamps, and coffee table from Nebraska Furniture Mart being delivered next Thursday (7/19/07). Mom and Dad are coming this weekend to help me with the move and do some work on the house.

By the way, I put pictures up from Wichita of Ember facing off with a bird and of Paul and Shonda's wedding.
