Weekly Update 2/1-2/7/21

 Welcome to February!

House updates. We had our pre drywall walk through at the house this week. We review all the things that we have ask for any updates or last minute changes and then sign off. That was Wednesday. Then they did the insulation and delivered drywall.  If all goes well that will be in next week. We are also thinking the stucco will be put on. Once that is completed then they will paint and then the rook goes on. They don't roof until after paint because the spray the paint. 

The house next door is painted, roofed, drywalled, textured and they even started doing trim and doors. We are a only about 2 weeks behind them, so that is exciting. We are still shooting for the end of March to close. Fingers crossed.

Went for another night bike ride. Short but intense. Didn't crash so that's a plus! Took a ride to Oracle on the motorcycle, interesting to see the mountains form the other side. Finally we were invited to a Super bowl party. One of the guys I ride with invited us over for an outside, socially distanced mask wearing affair.  Game as kinda boring but the food was really good. Tri Tip, Carne Asada, Chicken fresh tortillas and more. Look at us making friends! 

Also saw our first snake on the walk with the dogs. Baby rattlesnake.

Bi-Weekly Update? 1/18/2021-1/31/21

Wow. ok, two weeks again.

Lets get the boring out of the way.  House stuff.  Nothing really new. They delivered the material to the roof but nothing more has been done. Still waiting for our pre drywall walk through.  We started looking for a fridge. Man that is crazy. So many style and features and prices.  Waiting for presidents day for some sales. We also had one company come out for a pool estimate. That's kind of exciting. Still hoping for a March closing. We have been here over 90 days now. The adventure of living here has worn off. Although we realize we could probably live in a tiny house after this experience.

Since last post we had a few fun things happen. Kiki turned 21! We had a low key party. Dinner and a few drinks with her old roomies. Old as she is now living in Scottsdale for the time being do to her nursing school. From here on out we need to rock paper scissors for a designated....

I had off of work on MLK day so I decided to try my hand at off road riding. Took the motorcycle up Reddington Pass for a 34 mile round trip in mostly dirt, sand and rocks. Fun and exahusting.

Finally the last interesting thing that happened was the weather. We had rain for several days, which then turned to snow! Enough snow they opened Mt Lemmon Ski hill. I guess we can't get away from it. 

That's fine with me, I rather enjoyed it. I had a better video but it wont let me attach it here. Where you an see it falling and sticking to the ground. 

Until next week or the week after......
