This may be the final edition of the Dublinhouse blog...the adventure continues but the building is over. It will be months/years before we're all settled in. Just taking it one day at a time, unpacking one box at a time. I still can't believe the amount of "stuff" we've accumulated in 30 years - time to par things down, so being choosey about what actually goes in the house. I'm posting lots of pictures today. If you want to see more you'll just have to come visit us! The invitation goes out to one and all. Come on down! We're 10 miles off I-16, 40 miles southeast of Macon, GA. Right now, we're sweltering in heat and humidity. Today will be the 20th of the past 21 days where the temperature exceeds 90 degrees (and so does the humidity!). We've had several triple digit days in there too. And...alas, only 1 day with rain. The ground is so dry that the dust just swirls around. The corn is dying in the fields, the flowers are limp and the grasses are brown and crisp.
And we have just laid sod! How crazy is that?!! We're watering day and night but sure could use a little help from above. Oh, and about the sod... Todd and Tommy picked up 6 pallets (3000 square feet) and laid it all in one day - just the 2 of them - and in all this heat! Walking wounded the next day!

It's been a grand adventure building this house. I still feel like it belongs to someone else and I'm just hanging out here! Learned a lot, still dealing with little glitches, still finishing up a few details. I hope you've enjoyed building this house with us. Would I do it again? Never! I'm never moving again - ever!
