Address Rock…Carving and Painting

Our new friend Janey Westin showed up last week to carve our address into the face of the rock at the end of the driveway. We decided to include Pentadic numerals under the Arabic numbers on the address rock in keeping with the Runic theme we plan to spread all around the “L” Shaped House. The photos below show Janey carving and then painting the numbers…using the same paint used on the Golden Gate Bridge!

Moving…Day 1

Where in the world have you been?

The question has been asked over and over the last week and a half. Now that we are (sort of) settled in and have internet service I promise I’ll start to update the blog more regularly.

The guys from Two Men and a Truck showed up on Tuesday morning (a week ago) at 8:30 am to start the moving process. A better name for the service we used might be Five Guys and Two Trucks. The first photo below shows the whole crew as they worked to pack the last few items into the big truck just before the first trip to the new house. The filled the 26 foot straight truck and 3/4 ton van twice as they moved 90% of our belongings.

The next photo shows the back end of the straight truck as yet another item makes its way up the ramp. Deb had about 225 boxes prepared and had already moved most of the kitchen essentials on Monday.
