I think our new house is jinxed. First it’s all the problems we’ve had building it, which is still not complete. The cabinets in the study have no top on them, some trim work needed to be painted, and the pool bath door is missing the blind insert (it’s sitting in the garage, until someone has courage to install it, apparently it’s very difficult to install without cracking the glass). We’re still waiting for the oven to come from Lowes. And yesterday I had an appointment with Brinks to activate the security system. The appointment was for between 8am-12pm. I took the morning off hoping he would show early and I could get to work before lunch time. That’s not how it worked out though. He eventually showed up around 1pm, and informed me that the process takes up to 3 hours to finish installing and testing everything. YIKES! I ended up having to take a personal day to stay home while the security system was setup. He ended up having several problems with one door (the pool bath door, go figure!) and drilled several holes in the door frame looking for the wires. Apparently when the builders put the door frame on they cover the wires up. He had a bunch of other problems from there, and eventually finished up around 8pm.

The day wasn’t completely wasted, I put some more things away, fixed some smaller stuff around the house, and hung a ceiling fan. There’s still alot more to do though!

Welcome back!
