Wow. Someone call the blog-update police… I’m sure I’m in neglect.

According to the “property” category, July 25th was my last update. Holy cow. I’ll save the excuses, no one wants to read that drivel anyway. (I suppose an argument could be made that no one wants to read any of this drivel. But, then, why are you here? …It’s my sparkling personality and amazing wit. I know, it’s ok.)

To cut to the chase - we are moved in. August 18th (yes, a month ago!) was the scheduled main move day, and we did indeed get about 90% of it done that day. Over the next couple weeks, the remainder was either moved, stored, or recycled/dump’d.

Since we have no internet access at the Barn, it makes it a bit difficult to upload pictures from there. However, I plan to have bunch updated in the near future–I just have to be a bit more diligent in sorting and burning them to CD, then I can upload them at work (*cough* shhhh *cough*). So expect that.

Things are very much to the end stages, obviously. Since the last posting…

• we now have a section of pavement in the driveway & turnaround (makes for a pretty good basketball court).
• the burn site (from the Burn-To-Learns) has been cleared, cleaned, and excavated. In a few months, you’d never know there was ever a house or any buildings there.
• finish grading at the burn site, as well as around the Barn has begun. Basically, they’re leveling the ground, removing large rocks, and generally preparing the location for grass planting.

Upcoming on the agenda is…

• final trim painting (cripe, i swear the painting never ends)
• building a shed
• tending to the yard/landscaping

On top of this, if you recall, we are expecting our 3rd child to arrive. We ordered him for October 6th, but based on the shipping history, Storks-R-Us has blessed us with early arrivals–at no extra charge. So, when he arrives (yup, 3rd boy), who knows what will happen with the changes to the Barn (or to this blog, for that matter).

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!
