housesitting!

My brother and I built the desk - it took about 3.5 hours to finish but we got it all done. Talk about accomplishment. Also, I went through heck to get this desk in the first place!

Bought the desk online; borrowed my neighbors truck to pick it up; got it home; had to ask a friend to come help drag it into the house; decided i didn't like the color; had the electrician put it back in the truck; waited 30 minutes at the store for them to figure out how to exchange the purchase; drive the new desk home; drag the 170 pound desk and maybe 100 pound hutch out of the truck alone this time; drive the truck back to Lakeland; the truck broke down on the highway; get a tow back to Lakeland (this was probably the funniest part because my neighbor is crazy and drove his friend out to help tow the truck).

Still have the hutch to build, which shouldnt take nearly as long.

My brother is housesitting while I am out of town for the week- someone had to let the contractors in, and I'm sure Alan didn't want to drive back and forth. The central air is now installed and all done. The electric guy just needs to replace the light holder outside and install the good one on the old light also.

done:
AC
plumbing
electrical

to do:
flooring (garage) (early next week- delivery maybe Friday)
septic (drainfield installed this week probably)

Laminate inthe rest of the house will be next weekend.
