we are able to get one car into our garage!!!  now if we could just get the garage and attic from the other house moved in too.

we have a real drain under the concrete sink!  for months we have had it emptying into a bucket.  we have gone through several drains in attempt to get one that fit same as what was used for the casting.  also it seems 1 1/4" drains that have no overflow are hard (and expensive) to come by.

we've also been living with the drywall cut out under this sink for a week.  one of our plumbers had connected the outdoor hose bib to the HOT water.  that has been fixed so all the holes are plugged.  I don't like drywall one tiny bit.  so I covered the area under the sink with concrete board that will host slate tile going up the wall. 

one of the cactus in the planter box by the front door has several large blooms.  we've been anxious to see what was going to bust out.  but wow! WOW!  there are two like this so far and at least four more about to open up.

 nothing is happening with the pool install.  I'm near my bursting point, thats where I stop being patient and nice and start talking about the better business folks and certified letters etc.  that usually gets results.  I see we had our pool inspection on aug 8th; almost two months ago.  there were just a few small things needed to pass final.
