Well Flakes, if Scott is itching to build a house, I can look into details as to how much the lots are across the street from us! Can you imagine living across the street from each other?! Woot, woot!
The weather this week has been C.R.A.Z.Y!!! (Flakes, do not let this story scare you or deter you in way from moving up here) Schools were cancelled four out of the five days of the week because of blizzard conditions that closed down roads all over the town. Cars and buses couldn't go anywhere, the interstate was closed in places as were the highways. On Monday, I went out to shovel down the drift that builds up in front of our garage so Garrett could get to work. The drift was easily four feet tall. Out on our street, a car had gotten lodged in a massive drift that was blocking the road and five other cars were stuck because there was no place to turn around. Three large moving trucks decided to try to go around the stuck car and of course, they all three got stuck and really blocked the road. A tow truck was parked near our driveway and I guess he was trying to figure out who to help first. Another car saw the blockage ahead and decided to turn around using our driveway which I hadn't shoveled out yet so he got stuck. The wind was still blowing at 30 mph and a snowmobile guy was having a blast going all over the place. Garrett finally made it to work three hours late. That has been the weather this week.
It is hard to tell in this picture, but all those trucks are trying to rescue the big moving trucks that jack knifed all over the road (see Jenn, the fun adventures you'd have living across the street from us?!).
Anyway, aside from the crazy weather, the inside of our house looks like a windstorm went through it as well! Dust is still all over the place and the majority of our kitchen supplies are now residing on our fireplace hearth. Yesterday, our wonderful neighbor came and helped us redo all the electrical work that was up in the soffit area. He and Garrett ran into several things that were not up to code and it is amazing that our house hasn't burned down (if Scott lived across the street from us, he could help us with all of our electrical issues!). Drywall is next and is sitting in our hallway as I type this. Millie thought it was quite fun walking the narrow pathway through the hall. We were actually just trying to make more of a visual with our Lehi's Dream discussion this week. Drywall makes a great visual.
Now you see them (the cabinets)....
...Now you don't!
Hope you all have a lovely week!
