Merry Christmas, You Get A Bunch of Pictures

We forgot to post about our 6-month trailer-versary, but trust me, it was unremarkable and we probably ate take out or something that can be microwaved since the fridge is still out. I cannot believe we have been at this for 6 months, and I am really hoping we don’t make it 7 months.

We are on the home stretch. There are small annoying things left to get taken care of throughout the house. We have a laundry list of electrical issues and finish items. The appliances are all in and (mostly) working. The contractors are scheduled to do their inspection with the city on Thursday. They know they are going to fail on a couple of items they are intentionally leaving because they can’t get the contractors back to do them right until after the holiday, but they figure this will get us a full list of everything that needs to be done and it should save us time as the contractors all make their (hopefully) last visits.

Yesterday they drilled cabinet hardware and mis-drilled one of the cabinet drawers. Ugh. We are also still waiting for the replacement facing for the microwave that was scratched when the oven door broke. We were also home last night when the lender’s inspector came through to verify work. He said he was officially done after this and we wouldn’t see him again. The end is near!

Since it’s Christmas and I am at a real computer, you even got pictures in a gallery! Darwin asked me last week if Santa was going to bring him a Christmas tree. I felt terrible, so we put one up in the house today super last minute so that we can at least open presents in there tomorrow. He saw it and said, “It’s perfect! It even has a star!” My heart melted into a puddle.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, I am thankful for all of you and this crazy family adventure of mine. Enjoy your holiday!
