"Kinda like a skateboard!"

So we are all moved in, but not totally unpacked. It feels so good to finally be living here. I feel a little exposed because the block fence is not up yet, but all of the oleanders are cut down. And adding to that is the fact that we haven't purchased window coverings yet! A few well placed sheets are serving as cover for now. Here's Rob on one of our first nights in in our new bathroom!

A large portion of our furniture had been in storage for almost a year. One piece I was really looking forward to having out again was my round pedestal table. I was really excited when Nick and Rob brought in the large pedestal and then placed the top on. And then..... I wasn't so excited. It seems that the table top has lost its moisture, which resulted in the sides curling up. In others words, the top of the table is curved like a friggin taco shell! Ok- its not that bad, its more like a skateboard, but it is noticeable, especially when you are sitting at the table.

In an effort to flatten out the table top we placed the top on the floor and the pedestal on top of it. Nick placed some heavy boxes on the edges, but its not working. A friend suggested a tarp and a humidifier, since the wood needs moisture. So we're going to try that. I'll let you know how it goes!

Its not very functional right now!! We are eating on the card table.
