The House
The house is coming along... slowly. When you have a 1950's house that is being restored there are TONS of issues. Turns out, if the fire had completely destroyed the house it would have been done being rebuilt by now. Crazy huh?
The latest delay involves leaky gas pipes. I guess I'm not too surprised. I mean, they were put in, what, 61 years ago? And I guess I'm grateful that they discovered the issue now, before the house blew up. But still, it's frustrating.
I've learned a lot of things through this process, one of which, is that a $5000 code upgrade limit is fairly worthless when you own a really old house. And the bitch of it is that you can't even pay to have this ceiling higher. Nope, $5000 is all the insurance company will give you. And it's not just Nationwide, but a bunch of them out there.
So right about now, we're at $8000 in code upgrades, $3000 of which the insurance won't cover, and that's not including fixing the gas pipes. Why are the gas pipes not covered, you ask? Well, because they weren't technically effected by the fire. But, they have to pass inspection before they'll let you put up the insulation and drywall.
Oh well, I guess I can't complain too much about getting a brand new house for only $3000+.
The Wedding
The wedding, unlike the house, is coming along nicely. Venue - check, Photographer - check, Videographer - check, Caterer - check, Florist, Makeup, Hair - check, check, check.
I'm really starting to feel good about everything and where we are. The colors are chosen, as are all the dresses, and hopefully by May I'll have the invitations picked out. But that's no biggie, cause they won't have to go out until like August or something.
I'm so excited about the wedding, that I'm even willing to give you a sneak peek at one of the food items!
