Sweet! I just found out from City of Richmond that the gas meter on the back of this Seminary Ave. house is indeed active and usable.
This means, that should I so choose, I could get a gas range, and eventually switch out the furnace with a gas one as well. Good-bye oil, someday.
As planned, on Friday, Valerie and I modified the offer for the house. The seller has until this Friday to respond…
Additionally, there are now less than two weeks left until our scheduled closing date. I’m going to make sure I stay in town this up-comming weekend, and do nothing that isn’t relaxing, since it’s likely [...]
Just had a roof estimate yesterday, and geez. It’s gonna be pricey.
Val and I will essentially have to replace the roof, removing the slate and putting up new asphalt shingles instead.
Today, though, we basically meet with our realtor to ammend the offer with our requests for “credits” and such based on everything that came out [...]

I can’t believe I forgot to post a link to my bro Mugs’ new site:
BJW Designs
This is his new business site for web design. He only just learned how to do this stuff a few months ago, and has been learning more technique at lightening speed. Check it out, and if you know anybody that [...]

Oof…that was a long but excellent weekend.
I left work early on Thursday for a home inspection. That went mostly well - there were several things pointed out that we needed to deal with that were unexpected, but not world-ending. I just need to get some estimates and figure out if the house is [...]
Apple made an announcement of their own, today, too:
Apple Introduces Bootcamp
This should make the transition even easier for Windows people (particularly my AutoCAD using wife).
I just finished reading all the entries on a relatively new blog, My Journey to Macintonsh, which chronicles the sitch of a heavy Windows user to OSX.
Quite a good read, both entertaining and informative. A blog I’ll keep up with as I attempt to switch this summer.
I’m really psyched about this coming Friday.
Shortly after Valerie leaves for work, I’ll head SW towards Farmville to start collecting my brothers. I’ll pick up Mugs at his joint before heading south to Keysville for Nick. Then we’ll head to Greensboro, NC, where Tom and an Air Force pal will meet up with us at [...]
Is this the end of the Simpsons? Rumorists have long speculated that a Simpsons movie would signal the impending end of the long-running cartoon sitcom.
We’ll find out in summer of 2007!
