Drainage,Carpet,Touchups..Moving Van!

January 11, 2009 - Front yard

Backyard with fire pit & bench - another one bench is on the opposite side. Can't wait to have a fire out there! Wine and marshmallows anyone?

Just a few things left to do on the house this week. From what we've been told, one of the biggest hurdles is the drainage inspection. That is due to take place this morning. After the floods of 2007, the city is a little more strict on what the approve.

Fingers crossed, we are ready for them & they will like what they see!

Bob's playroom with the infamous elevator sign. Found in a building due for demolition in downtown Los Angeles about 35 years ago. The sign has travelled with us for years, mostly living in our bedroom closet. It was subjected to a foot going through it several years ago. We had it rewired, a back plate put on it & it is now hanging in its newfound glory!

There are still things missing - various hardware backordered or not hung yet, the 'real' kitchen faucet (a temporary one is in place) is due today, a mirror in one bathroom is not in yet. Yesterday when admiring all of the space in the laundry room - we realized the two hanging rods are not there. Not only that, it looks like someone forgot about them! The painters will return this week for touch ups and to finish painting & staining. Carpet will be installed Wednesday. The propane tank will be installed today. After the drainage is approved, the landscaper will continue with his work.

The pool bath - as it is called on the plans. We have no bath in that room and no pool but like name! The mirror for this bathroom is backordered.

Certificate of Occupancy will be the next step. We are hoping to have that on Thursday.

If the stars align and we get our CO, we will begin moving boxes by the end of the week.

The kitchen!

The moving van is set to arrive a week from today...............WOW!
