Well our internet is still out and we've been too busy to try to figure out how to fix it. This makes posting much more difficult but really is not a good excuse for letting more than a month go by! There's been much news on the Homer-front; Matt has gotten a full time job working for the Seldovia Village Tribe's Medical Center. It's a great job working with a fantastic organization, plus it's indoors! Poor guy has to shave and wear shirts for the buttons while I "get" to continue to freeze my toes off building our house. However, I have been taking a few weeks off from our house to help dad finish up the other house on Forest Glen. It's nice and cozy warm working on interior trim and installing toilets, I'm getting spoiled. Once that house is done we'll be able to both move up the hill and move fast to get ours done. We've got big bags of insulation sitting in our living room waiting to be installed, the wiring and plumbing is done and the HRV is done except for a few little odds and ends. We managed to string the power line up across the road so that the snow plow won't bother it and so our permanent-temporary power is set until spring. I've been dreaming lately about refrigerators lately. It may be silly with all the work to be done yet (ahem, insulated walls maybe?), but all I can think about is this refrigerator. It's the one I'm determined to get, even if I have to sell a kidney to pay for it by the time the house is done. Isn't it beautiful? Our current refrigerator is about thirty years old and if you even THINK about opening the door the motor will start to run like a jet engine. It is so loud that when we watch a movie we have to continue to adjust the volume to compensate for it. Our electric bill is a good $35 more a month because of it! I want a new refriderator!!!!And speaking of carts before horses, here are the kitchen cabinets that are waiting for us as Spenards(it will be another month minimum before we get to pick them up) I got a good deal on them and love that I was able to get full ceiling height upper cabinets. Classy, eh?
