Austin ModHouse

tell me, did you miss me? 

we have internet at the new house.  we are partially moved in.  at least we have all the stuff we like over at the new house.  stuff we don't care so much for will likely find us.

 on 5-22-07 I noticed our blue prints were stamped 5-22-06 by the engineer.

we have found a few glitches and we've been busy getting everything sorted.  no big problems.  we have started the back yard work wich involves a koi pond with negative edge, three levels of patio and a lap pool.  it's strange to be at home while all this work is going on.  the wall of glass seems so odd when those guys are working so hard on one side of the glass and we are watching from air conditioned space just inches away.  I feel like I should be helping and sweating along side.

we had a BIG rain or four.  the pool area filled up with water prematurely

here it is all dried out and filled w/ concrete

and bringing you up to the moment, this pic was taken 30 minutes ago.  I can hear them downstairs plumbing at it.

cabinets look great with drawer pulls

mom and I have been busy installing the polygal panels into the garage door.  very happy with the results.  thank you mom!

can you guess what this is? ...

OK, you'll never get it.  my daughter loved her new snack creation; triscuit topped with brie, fig compote and olive stuffed with jalapeno pepper.
