....in the house building front. Today the plumber and duct work guys are in the house and the electricians will be in the house on Wed., with John having to do all his wiring for the phone/cable/internet on Wed. night. Sometime they will be pouring the basement floor(maybe on Tuesday)...and by the weekend the drywallers will be in doing their thing. Things are really coming along quick now. Once the drywall is up, it will be cool to se how the house looks because then you can really see how the rooms are in size and shape.
So I had a busy weeekend. On Saturday we moved all our boxes up from the basement along with a few pieces of furniture.The dining/living room is pretty full now. Then on Sunday I took Mell to her first auction. They were selling off tons of lighting and such which was returned to Rona from customers for various reasons. Mell was a real auction pro by the end of the day...she had the nod down pact:) We really got a ton of deals. they would sell things in lots so most of our auction ins would be a lot for 5$. When we left, Kevin's truck(we had to call him to get the stuff) was completley full in back and also in the back and front seat and my car was packed in the backseat and truck. When we got home we had to go through everything. There were alot of broken or missing glass shades or lost mounting hardware....so we just switched things up with other lights. In the end I was able to salvage a huge grandeur pendant light for the stairwell, a chandalier for my dining room, another chandalier that I will give to my mom or sister, a vanity light for the girls bathroom, a light for the powder room, a ceiling fan for the great room, several track lights, several single small pendants, 2 floor lamps, bathroom faucet for basement, outdoor lights for the house and a post lamp....and there were a few other things....well worth the 62$ I spent. Mell got some real good deals also and ended up with lots. I was a little sad that John could not go since he was with the girls, because he would definitely loved being at such a great deal auction. I cannot wait to go to another with Mell...but like John said, our chances of going to such an auction again would be slim..but hey...that is the fun of auctions.
Well lots to do today....a bit of fix ups to do around here, and then off to meet with the builder.
