In Brief

We have to order a different cabinet in order for the dishwasher to fit. According to Seconds and Surplus, this takes three weeks. We're going to see if we can order direct (via my dad if we have to) to get the cabinet sooner. If not, Erik made a very serious announcement that this would make the move in date move to January. Hmm. I'm not exactly happy about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm so thankful to be living with my parents and it's worked out very well, but I think everyone understands that living in your own house trumps where we find ourselves right now. I'm also just ready to have my husband back. Dental school is a lot harder without him around the house. So, I'm praying that other things can be done during this time IF we have to wait 3 weeks. Not waiting 3 weeks would be even better : ) We have to have water. Bill has been out, but he's sooo slow. Erik's going to tell him that if it's not connected to the sewer by Tuesday, we'll find someone else to do it. Mind you, Rockwall did come out and mark the sewer, Bill dug 8 ft and could not find it. Hmm. We have to have water at this point. Kinda rediculous. We can't trim out electric until the cabinets are done, so that's a big bummer. They were going to do that this week. We CAN continue to paint and do molding, get cabinets in for the other two bathrooms, and tile those. The other big bummer about the sink cabinet in the kitchen is that we can't tile the kitchen until it's in. We just have to keep trudging along, do what we can when we can, and hope that the timing works out to spend Christmas in our new home. Once midterms are over, I should be able to help out more, too. That would be nice.
