The Golan Home

The move-in on Friday was fairly smooth and we fell into a deep sleep very early in the evening, exhausted from the day. Saturday was all about getting things in place (and getting things – curtains, etc).

Kitchen, living room, Omri’s bedroom and bathroom are set. Our bedroom, den, basement are next. The second floor office space is semi set.

More after we catch our breath.

PS – No Internet yet!

One year ago today we broke ground. I took Omri with me and we looked on as work on our house started:

This is what we have now:

What a long and winding road it is, and we still have another month ahead of us.

The hand prints are in the wall by the entrance, the Kill Bill II lights are set as well and we are getting ready to “close” the house, which means doors and windows are installed. That will happen in about a week.

After that we can start putting in the expansive stuff (otherwise known as the ’stealables’) in place: faucets, A/C, etc.

While Taufik the stucco guy is wrapping up, focusing on the parameter wall (he did a great job so far – mostly notably with the KB II lights), this week we went back into the house with the first layer of paint.

It looked like the painter used a spray gun. Is that possible?

Sniff, sniff. Can you smell the end? As Al Gore once said, “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings, but I believe she is already clearing her throat.” Amen to that!

It’s Gali’s birthday today! Next year we will celebrate it with a BBQ in the backyard of our new house.

Happy Birthday, moshkale, I love you.
