New walls and a new home

Two things to report this time. First, the basement walls are in. You can see in the image below that the beginning of the frame has been put in as well. In the center of the image you can see the egress window in the corner of the basement. Off the picture to the right, or front of the house, is where the basement bathroom will be, eventually.

Also, we officially moved out of the apartment and into our friend's house. We have a nice room, it's cozy but we've got all we need to survive, that is to say we have our TiVo in the room. As of right now, everything we own is in two 10x10 rooms. It will be nice to save the 3-4 months worth of rent for moving into the house and buying appliances and the like.

On that note, we recently helped our friends move into their new house in Milan, built by the same builder. Seeing them put in new light fixtures, paint their rooms, and start to get settled has gotten us pretty fired up for our place. We'll use the next couple months to slowly buy the items we need (towel racks, light fixtures, speaker wire, flat panel monitors, etc.) That will help lessen the blow come end of Jan.

Couple random notes: Third Day's new album comes out tomorrow. If you haven't heard them, check them out (www.thirdday.com). They're a great Christian band, somewhat akin to Black Crowes, I guess. Southern rock sound. I think they have a preview of the album on the site. I'm pretty anxious to see "Jarhead" when it comes out. Amy's busy most of this week so I might try to catch it Saturday night.
