And in the "Hallelujah" department...

Finally.



Goodbye, porta-potty!



It's all coming together now!


This has been in a shipping box in the basement for so long, I'd nearly forgotten what it looked like. The surface it sits on will be covered with more of the little white pebbles.


Washer and dryer go under this counter, and a cabinet will go above the window.

Still to go:

• Install bamboo floor
• Install cabinet
• Install faucets and showerhead
• Paint and install pocket door
• Have gas plumbing inspected
• Cross fingers
• Turn on gas
• Have hot water
• Clean up the enormous mess throughout my house and yard.

I'm back to living in my house, though I still have to shower at the gym or at my sister's. Monsoon will be able to come home in a few days, maybe in time for Christmas. And tomorrow morning? No staggering outside in the freezing dawn. Because I finally have a toilet again!

Yay!

Yes, I've been quietly obsessing over the gas permit myself.

But then, I obsessed over my passport, and over buying an unlocked GSM phone, and over my car, and really, everything tends to work out fine. Hopefully this won't be the exception.

Shhhh! They can hear you.

I have no response to that, but there aren't that many opportunities for me to use this icon.

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

Hee. Is that your new shower cap?

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'm lacking a sticking-out-tongue icon (not counting this one picture of Sean, which does NOT convey quite what I mean.)

Aw, go on! You find me irresistible!

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

That's a fact.
