And we're back!

Ahh, internet! It's very much like air - you don't know how much you need it until one day it's not there.

As I type, Jesse is next to me doing homework. He's currently annoyed that his chemistry homework is too elementary - repetition of the ideal gas law over and over and over again - how many different ways can you express PV=nRT? We're finding out!

Once again it is late and I'm tired. I'll try to spare you talk of the miniature fantasy horses and get to what's important. Pictures!

First up is the toilet paper holder I was gushing about the other day:I noticed while I was driving the other day that a fancy shmancy home store was going out of business. I didn't know that it was fancy shmancy because I'd never had occassion to go in there before we did this whole purchasing a house thing. Anyway, J and I went back the next day to check it out and even at blowout prices, we still couldn't afford anything - EXCEPT this used storage shelf from their warehouse area :)
As I mentioned before, my friend Emi finally needed her furniture back (but she let us keep borrowing the coffee table!!!) so we were seriously in need of some storage for kitchen items. This worked perfectly:
I also re-potted a few of my plants into these pots that I've been pining over from Crate and Barrel. I still need to find matching water catcher things to go under them but I think they're super pretty. J picked me up some potting soil and a little trowel to help me in my efforts.
You think it would be easy to install a utility sink - well, we did anyway. It turns out that our drain to the sewer was plugged with a weird plug which plugged into another plug which plugged into another plug and etc. I'm still not exactly sure what I'm talking about but what I do know is that I came out while J was working on it and found him taking a blow torch to the pipe/wall. It scared me enough to run back inside but apparently it worked. It seriously pays to have a super-intelligent, not afraid to get dirty, cute working Jesse on your team when you buy a house. Here's the finished utility sink:
Garage-with-Emi's-stuff-moved-out-and-utility-sink-installed:
Jesse's Project Grass. I can't talk about it. It's a source of friction.
Even Cheeba doesn't like the grass:
Okay, that was just a bad angle (and the reason my parents call her 'Bob Marley.') She's actually on Team Jesse when it comes to the grass.

BLUEPRINTS! Page one (with a side of Cheeba - Jesse added her.) Jesse did all of these drawings:
BLUEPRINTS!!! page two. Jesse also did all of these drawings:
BLUEPRINTS!!! page three. Jesse did the bottom right drawing.

I know you can't really see this but it says Davidson/McDaniels Remodel.
I think that's awesome.

The approval stamp that we worked so hard (and paid so much) for:
We've started sketching out Phase I of the demolition. Yes, we're going to move the heater and gas line first.
Close-up of the sketched out demo:

That's all for now! Soon you'll be able to see Jesse and I starring in our very own video over on our Realtor's website. I'll get you the link when Ibanez posts it. Jeremy, Jenn, Addie, and Ibanez all came over for a house update, homemade calzones and to shoot the video the other day - twas lovely - except when Addie really liked eating the cat brush - I think I need to baby-proof a little better before she comes over next time.

Until next time.


PS - Jesse's dad hates that Jesse looks like he's from Cameron (i.e. missing half of his teeth) on the picture to the right so I'm working on a replacement - new picture soon!
