Inspection...failed.

Well, we failed inspection. Only on a few minor things. They need the outlet in the laundry room to be a GFI, they want a light right at the bottom of the basement stairs, and a light right at the top of the 2nd floor stairs. Now, you would have thought these would have been caught with the initial electrical inspection, but anyway that was all it failed for. So, David is fixing those tonight and it will be re-inspected tomorrow afternoon. So, as long as the work suits the inspector we should be getting our occupancy permit. So, we are hoping it passes tomorrow!!

Final inspection

Today is our final inspection!! If it passes we get our occupancy permit! Pray all goes well!!

A few Christmas photos


My only Christmas/ winter decoration.

I like it!


This was so funny. Hailey took the pictures for us and had to walk in the mud and it stuck to her boots like crazy!

She's trying to scrape it off!!

These are a few pictures that my friend Hailey took for us. One of the ones of us in it will be our Christmas card pictures. Which will be sent out late. But they are coming!!

Flurry of activity

Well, lots of things going on this week. I guess our final inspection is on Tuesday. But the following pictures should about say it all. Some of the pictures don't show the color very well, but you get the idea!
This is what our toilets look like. (These are important!!) =]

David put up the pendant light, although this isn't the right shade, we have different ones to go with the pendant lights.
Fridge installed.

And speaking of flurry...we got some snow today!! I'm not ready for snow yet!! But it came anyway. We got around 6" and still more to come I guess! David snowblowed our driveway and the neighbor girls. Her husband works out of town and wasn't home and she has 2 small kids, so he got it done for her.

Dad's Buck

Here it is!! The big 8 point!
I got these pictures from my Dad's camera. This is the 8 point, 17 inch spread- buck Dad got on the first day. He shot it around 9:00am in Clinton Township, Lycoming County. He is so proud of this thing! I don't think he ever got one this big before. He said he's waited 39 years for this one! He took it to the Country Store to be processed. I submitted photos to PA Outdoor life and the Sun Gazzette, we'll see if they show the pictures!!
