    Thanks everybody for the well wishes and recommendations. I think I lucked out with the internet service. It has been horrible broadband for years in this area, but in the past few months a company called Fidium has introduced fiber. The Fidium guy came over today and installed it. 930 megabits download and over half that upload, for 70 a month. Got a router centrally placed and a free extender for my office.

              Thanks Brenda! I’m looking forward to a time when it’s presentable to post some pictures. If ever that may be.

                    If anybody is in the Houston area and they can play piano well, I suspect our acoustics here in the living room are fantastic. Even if the piano is less so.

                      Remember the "Where do you live?" TNCR Map?

                      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        I’m spending my first night in our new place tonight. We’re going to be camping in the basement until the floors and walls are done upstairs, although my office should be usable tomorrow if Verizon come through.

                        Movers came today - most of our stuff is temporarily in the garage. I have a garage again! In fact, I’ve got two! Inconceivable!

                        Closing on our current place was pushed back to the 14th, which reduces the pressure, as long as it goes through….

                        I was only joking

                            Glad it’s worked out well, especially compared to how things were looking a month ago.

                              Sadly, we don’t have anything like Horace’s view, but as Canadians we do have a couple of maple trees which are going to briefly look gorgeous in a week or two

                                Congrats, and if your current place doesn't close until 10/14 you could always go back there and sleep on the floor, for old time's sake. We have a few maples as well...I think they are called flame maple or blaze maple or something...anyway they turn ridiculously bright orange/red in mid/late October. So much so that it gives a nice orange hue throughout the house, LOL.

                                  To go with the maples, we have an Eastern black walnut, which drops hard, hand grenade size fruit unexpectedly. It’s going to need to come down as it touches the house and also because it drops hard, hand grenade sized fruit unexpectedly.

                                          They’re coming around to the idea - I think they’re upset to leave the house they’ve always known as home, but they can see the potential of having more space.
