The AC and furnace have been installed in the new house, still waiting on the plumbers to come back and install the hose bibs and secure the water line under the house which they are supposed to do today (so far a no-show) but other than that my job is done. The walk through and the skirt installation are scheduled and I'm waiting to hear back from the surveyor for the final elevation certificate. And we are four months ahead of our drop dead date! Pam is slowly dismantling her house, some of the furniture she isn't keeping has already gone away to new homes, and now that the AC is in and on she'll start bringing small stuff over. The weekend of the 15th one of her daughters, son-in-law, and grandson are renting a Uhaul and they'll start moving furniture.
The other project, the shop buildout, is also almost done. Just some trim around the bathroom door, a couple of switch plates, and finishing a repair in the sheetrock.
I spent Monday and Tuesday working on the website. The new 'technique' page is done and published which took me nearly three days. The revised 'about us' page is also done and published though I may work on it more but for now it's fine. Not sure which one I'm going to tackle next, probably the 'contact us' page or 'news and events' though I have very little news and only one upcoming event in the fall. I'm working on the 'home' page but I need to create a new picture button for it.
I just saw a different little bird, yellow breast and head but not bright yellow, gray wings and back, skinny pointy beak, I'm pretty sure it's a warbler of some kind but we don't usually see them in the summer. They winter over here. I took this terrible picture through the window on high magnification.
I walked out to the back of the property Sunday and saw this looking west over the field behind our house.
And this is all I have unless you want to hear about all the times I screwed up the code on the page I was working on and how long it would take me to find the error and fix it. Yesterday afternoon Marc called from the other part of the house, 'lots of heavy sighing going on in there'. Maybe instead of working on a page today, since it's a yoga day, I'll just sort through all the pictures on the server that no longer show up on the website.
Or maybe I'll go make a blueberry crostata.
Sounds like the crostata would be a far more rewarding enterprise.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the crostata! I should be painting, but fatigue came knocking on my door and I have succumbed! The men are busy at work on the shipping container we bought to house the accumulation of HeWho hoards. The peace and quite inside has me hiding.
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot, I have to go to the Endondist because I have very tiny canals. Only thing tiny about me.
ReplyDeletethe sky!!! Amazing!!! Goosebumpy !
ReplyDeleteI remember how much effort it took just to get Lagniappe set up. Even though WordPress provided the theme, I wanted both blogs to use the same theme, so they'd look the same. Then, I wanted to cross-link them. Things like that just take time, but I sure do like the way your website looks.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what the bird is. Might have blown off course by Isaias.
ReplyDeleteMy exhibit life is in abeyance right now, too. All the plans for the year are not happening.
The house has come together at warp speed. Pam is so fortunate you are on the spot, knowledgeable and willing to take part. It's going to be fun to see the move in. At least I hope we do.
That's a lotta cloud. Like the hurricane is sucking Texas sky to the east coast.
ReplyDeleteCi vote for the crostata. And a picture please.
ReplyDeleteI vote for crostata too. But I want mine to be strawberry rhubarb. Ha! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last picture!
ReplyDeleteGlad the web site updating is proceeding! I'm guessing your bird is a pine warbler. Could that be right?
ReplyDeleteLove the cloud, and of course the teepee motel in the distance.
could be. I couldn't get a good look at it's wings but all those little yellow warblers look pretty much the same.
DeleteYes, when I screw up a bit of code, sometimes there is no fining with error. So glad our sister's house is coming together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky! Good news about the house and workshop and website, I couldn't even start. I can fiddle with a blog layout but code, no way.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a web software that means you don't have to code so much? I finally found the Blogger link where I can see the code. They have moved it twice since revising the interface! I bet you are so happy to have this house project almost done!
