My Guys!

Officially, the basement was finished last week!! Inspection was on Thursday and went through without a hitch! HOORAY! Sure, there are a few odds and ends left to do and Hans will finish up this weekend, but we could actually put the furniture where it needed to be and unpack the new entertainment center and TV!

Our new entertainment center came in 3 boxes - and darn it if one of the boxes didn't have a broken shelf in it! So I called and they would have another box shipped from Denver and we could pick it up on Sunday - no problem. Sunday comes and we head to Co. Springs to pick it up, this time deciding to OPEN the box while we are there to make sure it's OK - that was a good choice - the box must have sat in some water at one point because the side of the shelf was all moldy - YUCK!!! Once again they called to have yet another box shipped down and we can pick it up anytime - except Glenn is too busy to pick it up right now! We complained about making a special trip down and they gave us a $10.00 gas credit - I'm not sure that would even cover the gas it took but I guess it was better than nothing!
Glenn has worked diligently to TRY and hook up the dish and the new TV and the new surround sound system - I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad!! The dish and the TV are now hooked up and we're very happy with it all - now we need son-in-law Robby to come down and hook up the surround sound - it's just a little too technical for us old folks!

In the meantime, we're enjoying our new lower level - I can't wait to unpack the boxes that have some decorations and get something put on the walls! It's been a LONG wait but now I can FINALLY do the final organizing of the house with everything in place!
