House update #5,125

Well, the house is nearing completion. Only four more weeks to go until we move, and the house itself should be finished in three. Notice the little wooden knobs on the kitchen cabinets. We wanted polished nickle knobs, but the builder wanted to charge $200. Cost of the knobs at Home Depot: $19.95 for a pack of 20. Wisely, we decided to install the knobs ourselves, and just let the builder put in whatever. The wooden knobs will be making a voyage to the Habitat for Humanity re-store down the road in a couple of weeks (along with a few other things).

I'm probably boring people looking for insightful political commentary, but the house seems to occupy all my thoughts at the moment.....

Oh, and I got my $1000 back. It only took three days, and several trips to the bank. However, except for a huge inconvenience it seems life is back to normal.
