Fridge Nightmare



Although we absolutely LOVE our new condo... we've had to have a lot of things fixed and refixed due to a lot of mistakes made during construction. This has been one of the bigger tasks that has only now started after a lot of complaining and pestering on our part. On the first building they made the fridge outlet too small (even for the recommended size they told us to get). So, they literally SHOVED our fridge into the tight space (you can see the scrapes on the sides of the fridge after having 2 men pull the thing out). Well after realizing the fridge would never move again and if there was ever a problem that we needed the fridge to come out we wouldn't be able to- we wanted them to enlarge the space. This is what they are doing now- but it is a slow process since they've had to get different people out to do different jobs. One guy didn't show up 3 times and when he finally did he was 2 hours late). Oh well- it will all be worth it in the end. In the mean time there is a lot of dust everywhere (as you can see:)). Here's hoping it will be completely finished by next week!

Labor Day Weekend














Labor Day weekend we went camping with the Bevans side of the family (they go biannually- once over Memorial Day weekend and also over Labor Day weekend). It was awesome seeing everyone- and Oregon was beautiful (despite me being wimpy with the rain and what I thought was cold weather part of the time... what can I say I come from sunny CA). The first picture is the entire family (except for Jeff's wife Estela who was home with their new little one)!!:) and the second picture is Mark and his siblings (** for those of you who saw the post earlier- I put the wrong picture in- the first picture is the one is the one I meant to put in with Mark's parents included in the pic... I just realized it when I was looking at the post and thought hmm where did Russ and Linda go?:)).
