A television in the BATHroom?!

Patience is a virtue.
Good things come to those who wait.
Don’t wish away today longing for tomorrow.

That, dear reader, is not advice for you; rather, it is advice for us.

We did not pick out spots for our phone and cable jacks when we signed the contract. This gave us an opportunity to go back to the sales office to talk with our sales agent again. The story this time is that the house will probably get started in late August. We are the very last house on the list. Since we signed, there haven’t been any other sales in our development because they are just now getting the land developed- roads put in, lots designated, etc…

If they say the start date will be in August, hopefully they won’t begin later than September. If they say that it will take four months to build, maybe it won’t take more than six. That would put us in the house in February or March maybe?

Patience is a virtue.

Brad decided on a treat for himself: a television in the bathroom so he can lay in a tub of hot water and watch hockey. (We have to give credit to Jan and Peter who inspired us with their luxurious bathroom in the house on the river.)

Yes, HOCKEY! Thank goodness somebody agreed to something so that there will be a hockey season this year. Brad is very happy. Maybe it will make waiting for this house a bit easier.

But, I predict that this will cut into my decorating show watching time. My current faves: Designed to Sell (for obvious reasons) and Christopher Lowell.

Tomorrow we are going down the Itchatucknee- (actually, I’ve been corrected. It’s the Itchetucknee) for the FOURTH time this year.
