We have a deck!

Well, after a little plumbing mishap, they are pouring the deck today!

 

Hello Chinatown!

LG and I spent the weekend in San Francisco to celebrate our 25 wedding anniversary.  

We got off the plane in Oakland (Oakland?).  And headed right across the Bay Bridge to Chinatown to get some lunch.  We ate on a ledge (yes a ledge) at the Chinatown Restaurant.

 

 

The Kung Pow Chicken was great!!!!

Pool Construction, Electrical

Well, we had our electrical done, and now we're just waiting on the inspection.

Here part of the trenching they had to do to run the conduit:

Here's my new timer box:

 

And here's my pool light.

Pool Construction, Rebar

We just keep rolling along.  Yesterday was rebar!

Pool Construction, Plumbing, Day two

Well, the plumbing is done and holding pressure.  Next up: electrical!

Best Invention in History

The only casualty of the excavator's work was a torn irrigation hose.  We had a minor flood when the drip system went on. 

Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a 1/2" coupler and the greatest invention in the history of the world, duct tape.

Finally In!

We finally got into our new house last week!

• It was great to have so much help from friends who showed with trucks and trailers and two wheelers and muscle.  At times I couldn't keep up with the stuff going out!
• We even had a neighbor by our new house introduce himself and start unloading!
• It's sooooo nice having a three car garage!
• LG's parents have been a huge help by fixing up some things, changing out faucets and getting done the things that you want to do first but are busy moving boxes to do them.
• DirectTV has too many channels.
• Courtney has a bedroom with a closet, which is an upgrade from the office she was sleeping in.
• We'll let you know when the first party is!

Why don't friends with kids have time?

Because this applies to families with autistic boys as well, I though I'd share:

Fun at New York, New York

I had a lot of fun with the family on the Las Vegas Strip.  Here's Kelsey and I on the roller coaster at New York, New York

Merry Christmas From the Gibsons
