House Update

    I have GOT to get over to my house with a camera and get some updated photos. My house is looking SO great! I am so, so excited with how it is looking. The windows are in, they are finishing up the electrical and will start on the interior drywall late next week. The low-voltage contractor will be in later this week, pre-wiring for my security system, my wireless internet, and the in-ceiling speakers in all the major rooms. Each room is going to have a separate control display in the wall to be able to control volume and turn on or off the speakers in the room. The living space that will be rented upstairs will also have integrated speakers and an mp3 dock so they can play their own music. The only thing is that, since I am trying to keep it so it will be easy to integrate the upstairs unit back to  being one big house if I can ever afford to live there without a tenant, they will be able to hit one button on their controls and listen to what I am playing downstairs (and vice versa). I have visions of my tenant having friends over and flipping over to my input source and everyone laughing as they catch me listening to the Best of The Carpenters or Bread's Greatest Hits or something like that. I definitely like music that is the current cool and hip thing, but that doesn't mean I can't get my cheese on.
    Things are happening pretty quickly now. I can hardly believe that in 3-4 months I will be living in this home, this home that started as a crazy idea about three years ago next month. Anyway, I hope to get over there on Sunday with my camera and get some pics up on flickr.
    Thursday morning I will be flying up to NYC for a super quickie trip. I will only have one day for shopping and one day for hitting the museums. In all the times I have visited New York I have never made it out of Manhattan, so I am looking forward to getting to see Brooklyn this time around, since that is where the exhibit is located that my friend is reviewing for an art magazine. I am worried about the weather, especially since I got typically over-eager a couple of weeks ago and put most of my warm clothes in storage.

I can't believe you ever put away your warm clothes.

You're in luck. It's supposed to be in the 60s Thursday and Friday. 50s Saturday and Sunday.

Have a great trip. I hope I can see your house soon. We moved out of our house on Friday, living around the corner in the cutest, smallest house on the block.
