Wayne's Words

To finish out the blog, I asked Wayne to submit some parting words. Here they are:

Yes, we are now moved into our new home. Well, sort of anyway. My office and Susan's office are networked along with my lap top with the help of a local computer technician and low voltage wiring tecnician. Analysis of cat 5 wiring and a few tests put us on the right track.

The low voltage people also wired in more speakers for surround sound; as well as, speakers on pation and in garage.

Exterior solar screens were installed with more wiring, switching, and programming by me and the electricians.

Ah, yes, a glitch in the sprinkler system timer. Now only working on manual. Landscaper called and a new circuit board and back to automation. We lost a couple of plants that also were replaced under In Line Landscapes warrantee.

We have a storage unit that is allowing us to unpack and organize without all the clutter and not the intense rush to find places for our things. We even got our cars in the garage the first evening.

Our vacuum system is getting a work out even though it is a new house and cleaned before we moved into our home. Hidden dust on top ofcabinetry, window tracts, heat registers, and constant settling from thenew construction.

Another big day, the window coverings arrived for the bedrooms. it was such a good feeling and nice to have the privacy since our master bedroom was like a glass fish bowl.

The first picture was put above the fireplace, the 2nd in the den; a glass lamp in the entry, the home is now becoming alive with spirit of its own blended with touches of our past.

A lot has happened in the last year or maybe 15 months. We sold our home of 21 years, moved into an apartment, traveled back and forth across the Cascades numerous times, stayed in a hotel with our cats for a few days, and now we are home in Wenatchee.

Our home is born and we are the happy guardians.

The Finale: Exterior

Moving day was one month ago today, May 12th, but there has been a lot of finishing touches going on over the last several weeks.

The results are a beautiful dream home that Wayne & Susan should enjoy for many years to come.

Entry not complete. More to come.

The Finale: Interior

Here are some pictures of the interior of the home. There is a lot of really nice finishing work that is not obvious from the pictures.

Remember One Year Ago?

Hey Wayne & Susan... remember this picture, taken almost exactly one year ago (June 17th)?

You were standing on the vacant lot where your dream home is now a reality.

Congratulations! It's been a fun process.
