Katie and I were anxious to get out to the home site this week, our anticipation on a high after noticing that the building crew had started on the exterior last week. Turns out that progress was fairly minimal: the front of the house does indeed appear ready for color, and the back has a scratch coat of stucco on it. A few additions have been made to the inside as well, but nothing earth shaking. As Katie noted today, “We’ll start getting excited when the dry wall starts going up on the inside.” That will be the point at which we can start taking realistic measurements for furniture and such.

The front of the house looks ready for some color.

Believe it or not, this will be our first hose valve since we moved out of our parents’ respective houses. We are unreasonably excited about this.

Ducts! Oh, central air, how I have missed you.

Katie pretends to luxuriate in what will someday be our master bathroom shower. Off camera, I am hoping that she’s not singing “Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” from South Pacific to herself.

We are mystified as to what a “fur wall” is. I mean, it certainly LOOKS furry. FURnace? FURniture? Google is of no help here.

No visit to downtown Tustin this week. Katie vetoed my suggestion to hit BagelMe on Newport Ave in favor of a more immediate caffeine / carb fix at a place close to our current domicile. We’ll get back there in late June.

Also, no visit next week, as we’ll be up in Hollywood celebrating our first anniversary & my 34th birthday. London Hotel, The Wiltern, The Hollywood Bowl and El Cholo all on the agenda. I can’t wait.
