The end is near!
That’s me, trying to stay positive about the insanity that is the condo renovations.
But, the title I chose has a double meaning — Barry is officially moving to Vancouver at the end of next week!
That’s right, kids, you won’t hear me bemoaning our long distance relationship any more. This weekend is the last time Barry will be “visiting” his new home, and next weekend I fly out to Edmonton/Camrose to help with the last of the packing, and then we drive back to Vancouver on Sunday the 4th.
It’s all terribly exciting!
But, we’ve both got a lot of work to do before next weekend. For starters, we have the kitchen counters coming in early next week, as well as a plumber coming in to install the new sink, fridge, and plumb the dishwasher… and we’ve got to finish building the IKEA stuff that is still in boxes. On top of that, we have the living room wall center to finish, and we both have more clothes to get rid of (my least favourite task) as we have only 1 closet for both of us… that’s going to be one of the most difficult parts of this whole exercise.
Okay, that and, Barry’s “LAMP”. Perhaps I’ll share a photo of said lamp here sometime soon. I think I have finally convinced him to give it way, at least. But, he insists on bringing it to Vancouver, first. If you have ever seen “When Harry Met Sally”, this is Barry’s wagon wheel coffee table. If he doesn’t give it away quickly, I may have to accidentally lose it off the balcony. Ooops.
The countdown is on… 11 more sleeps until my guy is here for good!
Can you tell I’m a wee bit excited?

Very excited Barry is coming! Yay!!!!
Congrats! And thank goodness for IKEA! Every move we make we find the nearest IKEA. When you get the kitchen counters set, it would be cool to find out what you wnet with. I know recycled material is a trend right now. I just don’t think I would want a compressed used beer can as part of my kitchen counter. My luck I would get the bathroom edition and have laminated toenails as part of the counter top. We’re sheering for you two!
Sheering is the same as cheering just with beer.
Thanks Raul… we’re so looking forward to this phase being behind us!
Hey BrotherO – We went with a nicer granite (white with brown… If you look at the reno photos, there’s a photo of the stone in the last one). I’ll take more photos once we finish the kitchen! (phew, it’s been hard not having any plumbing at all in there for weeks now) (your fear of the recycled counter made me laugh
)
