Wanna See My House?

IF the final rebate from the state of FL comes in then we will be able to have this entire system for under $1000! If not, still a great investment.

IMO it's a deal at 10x that price considering the heating and cooling bills people are paying. Between your insulation and solar panels you'll make it back in less than 2 years!

Hi Gidget! I'm just reading the posts on your new house. I don't know how I missed them before. I know we have written a couple of times. I love your home and the fish. I think the concrete floors came out great. You are very creative. I am moving into a small rental in Blue Mountain Beach. I'll have to ride around and find your house when I get there. What street are you on if you don't mind my asking. I could probably fit my little cottage in your whole house!!!! LOL I hope I get invited to the housewarming since I really need to make some friends when I move there. I don't know anyone, I just decided I loved it there and want to relocate since I am not happy in New Orleans anymore. Good luck with the rest of the house and keep up the good work. It is fun isn't it and exciting!!! Take care, Brenda

Hi Brenda

Thanks for stopping by. The house truly isn't very large - under 1400 sq ft - 2 bedrooms (one as an office with bunk beds)

"Housewarming" won't be for months - we are moving in next week but goodness there's still SO MUCH to do.

I don't think you can miss my house if in Blue Mtn area - it is poking out of the brickyard

Here's a new pic:



Fish are in place, treads go on top today. That will really make the staircase look complete to get rid of plywood and have stained treads.

See you around

We are IN!!!! More later as things are upside down. But I am VERY happy to be in our new home.

Congradulations(what time is lunch)

Woo-hoo!

Congratulations!

Congradulations(what time is lunch)

Funny you should say that - La Loba has been feeding me beans and rice for lunch for weeks now and not only are they YUM and healthy, but right up the street!!!

Somebody pinch me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm truly here!!! And the meter is still turning backwards Such fun. Now we need a wind turbine!!

Thanks for stopping by folks!

I am giving you some time to settle in and relax before we start dropping by before/after Sally's!

Now that you are officially local you will be required to attend all the Sowal events!

Yay Gidget!!!!!!! I am so happy for you! Enjoy your beautiful new home in paradise!

YEAH GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I'm just checking the loung site and see you are moved in. I wish I were there, but looks like it will be another 2 weeks. Had problems with the contractor working on the house I will be renting so the move date got pushed back. Lucky you and I know you are enjoying the new house.

I'll attend them in time for certain - I have so much settling in to do - everything is even out on the sidewalk lol!!! Looks like a garage sale

Gonna have an official "see the place" sometime in the summer. Meanwhile trying to make it on Sat morning to SFM.

BTW, looks like we are approved as an Energy Star Home too! That's exciting!

Thanks all for nice welcome

Off to next project!!

Ciao

Welcome to the brickyard neighbor.....

Is it really a brick yard home without bricks?

Thanks Minnie!

SWGB, we really LOVE the Brickyard! SUCH great people. A real community isn't it?

Here' s a fav shot that shows the stairs and the layout a bit more.



It is fun sharing with you all! You've been there since the planning stage! WOW - has it been that long??

G

Note the little "hole" under the stairs. That is the doggie den

Kind of a town home design?

First Chelco bill for only I think 12 days of usage.

Customer generation credit -$20.88

So far so good, but it has been a very sunny time lately. We'll see how it goes come summer and cloudy days, but I am optimistic at this point.
