Jan and I went to Hawk’s Bluff this past week-end; flew early Friday morning into Nashville; rented a Toyota Tundra pick-up truck (what a car!); stayed at the Way Inn for two nights (we were the only non-hunters in the joint!) and flew back home on Sunday night.
Unfortunately this time we forgot to take a camera (one of the – at least – two dozen we have) and, therefore, we have no pictures to show… Otherwise, we would have shown you the latest on the house and the SNOW!
At any rate, there is progress being done; while we were there we met with the plumbers and paid for all the fixtures they ordered. We also met with Sammy who will be the caretaker, like he does for Scott and Mary Newmann; once we ‘move in’, we will come by weekly and flush the toilets, check the windows and doors, etc. We also spent quite a bit of time with Jimmy Hale and finished the paints schema, some decorative infrastructure (like where to hang the TV set and the elk mount above the fire place!), settled the finances to ensure we were all singing from the same page, and got a high level sequence of tasks that would allow the inside to be finished by December 16th (move-in date!). There will be some tasks going on in the outside (stones, retaining wall, final front door approach, landscaping, garage, etc.) that will continue to go on to be finished as time allows.
Jan and I, meanwhile, need to:
- Buy the hardware for the doors (locks, levels, knobs) for inside & outside;
- Decide on the granite for the basement bar (depending on price);
- Decide on mirrors for the kitchen bar, also depending on price
- Buy vanity mirrors for Alex's, Leah's and our bathroom.
We are going back up (driving) this Friday and driving back on Sunday!
