stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again

so we went out last night -
we have stucco.

pictures to come.

brooklyn from the roof

so we were wondering what was next on the house...









ask and you shall receive

it's written on the face of the moon

so today we signed an amendment to our sales agreement -
fixing our closing date to September 18, 2006.

so i guess that's as close to written in stone as we are going to get!

i also added a little somthing to the blog...
upper right corner...
a countdown clock.

so everyone can feel my anxiety.
really - i just want to share the love.

fool for the city

FOOLS

that is what my brain keeps shouting everytime i think of our closing date...

yup.

as you probably already guessed, they have moved it out.
by almost a month!

it went from august 31 to september 29.

le sigh

UPDATE

looks like julie got us in touch with Ana Osio - who will be coordinating our close i guess.

"We have your house estimated to be finished in mid September. We should be able to close on the week of the 18th. I am sending out a contract extension amendment to you.

Our apologies for these delays and thank you for your patience."

so it looks like september 18 - not so bad i guess...

in the garden

so check it out - this is what our house should look like at completion.
(zack's modification of Jeff's psd.)


well - what do you think? is it coming along or what?








and they fixed our window!

get happy

so we met up with other agavites out at hotel san jose last night - very cool!
we got to finally meet the Garths
as well as Michael and James
very nice people!
We also met the Tournillons, Carrie and Jason, who will be in the Casa Bella next door!
We are going to have such a great community!

let's see... i also have been on the horn with Julie all morning, and it looks like we are going to get the hardy board/stucco configuration we originally wanted!

i keep trying to upload the images but...
le sigh
blogger is not my friend today.

more in a bit!

and framed our column!


stay tuned - looks like they are moving on our house again!

you know that (is nothing new)

so nothing has been happening...
the crews were out all weekend though -
• working on heather's swisher
• forming the slab for the big FAB behind sharon's swisher
• putting the roof on gina and brocks FAB
• framing the 2nd floor of the SM at 5304 Agatha

lots of work.
just not on our house.

:)

relief sketch

hmmm...
how is it that even though we don't have a roof yet, zack is already figuring out what to do to the house once we've closed?


notice the back/side/bottom door?
new
notice the little back/side/bottom patio this will create?
new

view from above - see our trees?


i like.

in other news, we got an updated closing date of August 31, (06?)
i think that's great - julie says it is realistic, but we'll wait and see...

see everyone at happy hour tonight!
