We have moved in!

My apologies. I have lost track of the whole renovation blogging because I've been quite busy doing the 'actual' renovation activities. I know, no excuses, but that's what really happened for the past 2 months :)

So, where are we?

My last post have just been 2 months ago, but the pictures of the home looked jurassic already. I have both good news and bad news - the good news is that we have moved in yesterday, January 10, 2010 - in binary language it's 011010. Cool eh? So, all things, most of them old stuff have been hauled to the new house. I imagine that most of them needs to be replaced because they have been with us for I don't know how long or perhaps since birth? SO, yeah, new house, new things - sounds good.

The not-so-bad news is that because of budget constraints, the finishings are not yet finished and there are quite a few things that needs to be done. I guess it happens to most projects where money runs out and some sacrfices has to be done. In our case, we really have to move in, so we have to sacrifice a bit to live in a house with unfinished floors and walls. I've been trying to draft a set of activities (or work breakdown structure in PM terms) to include in the second batch while we raise the money to fund this second round of activities. I'm eyeing August - September of 2010 to finish all what's left, but we'll be doing some stuff in between. Besides, we have to prepare for the storm season between June and July, so that means the downspout and plastering have to be done by then. Anyway, I'll be posting the finished WBS when it's done.

While I do that, I will post some most recent photos of the house. I'll try to recap on the details of how they were done in my next postings. So, this blogging type is similar to Star Wars narration - present to the past.
