The banging and miscellaneous noises coming from the townhouse next door has been going on for a few weeks now and seemed to escalate over T'giving with the guys even working over weekends!!! I've seen ripped out bathroom fixtures, appliances and piles of old carpet piled in the backyard along with the tree limbs that have been trimmed back. All of that disappeared over last few days . . . much of it had been stacked in the carport as they cleaned out the back yeard. Whew, glad to see that all gone. I wanted to get a peak inside to see all the work they had done since it looked like a complete re-model. And it probably really needed it! It was selling for way below market value and the listing noted it needed a lot of work. Well, I saw a lot of work going on over there!
Today, first thing a furniture delivery happened! Then the phone company showed up and THEN 2 more deliveries from other furniture companies! Then a moving van and some other big truck! Big swirl of activity! I left for awhile and then came back to find most of the activity was over . . . but I think I saw one of my new neighbors in the carport, lol!!! So I waved and smiled at her. It will be nice to have a friendly neighbor after the last one that was there the whole time since I moved in until she moved out last year right after the holidays! She was probably nice but she never spoke to me, lol.
I have been getting myself ready for the "shutdown" in which I'll be home mostly for the whole holidays. I've been getting some DVDs of shows that I really like and some books . . . along with all the other things I plan to do, lol.
One series that I have been wanting to buy is "Farscape", which was a Sci-Fi show that played on the Sci-Fi channel a few years ago then ceased production, wah!!! It was so expensive to produce from what I heard. I really liked it and it won't ever be in syndication from what I was hearing . . . so I wanted it on DVD. Well, the cost of the DVDs seemed really expensive even if I bought them one season at a time. Then I noticed they were being re-issued in November at $107 for the whole show (that's 5 seasons I think,lol). So I added it to my wish list and planned on buying it. First I noticed it had gone down $10 so I thought "Good" . . . buy it in December. Lo and Behold, last week when I went to move it to my cart, the price had changed tp $57.99!!!!!!!! I paid for it immediately, hehe!!! What a deal!http://www.amazon.com/Farscape-Complete-Ben-Browder/dp/B002GP7ZWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1260569190&sr=8-1
Between Farscape and Dexter and Weeds, I have hours of DVDs to keep me occupied!
Of course, I really should be working on that wallpaper in one of my bathrooms . . . been trying to do that for a few years now, ahahahahahah!!! I painted the cabinets in there awhile back . . . but the wallpaper?? I am sort of clueless, hehe, as this will be my first try at doing it. So we shall see how badly I muck it up!!
