Well, it has been a very looong nine months since my wife, Kelly, and I began the process of putting a new home together. We settled on a nice little triple-wide mobile (probably my Texas roots yearning for the old trailer days) home. Since December 26, we have officially occupied the new home: The Capranica Villa.

Here’s a brief historical look at the process.

The home is no longer mobile. It is an official tied-to-the-land house on a permanent foundation. Until our next major earthquake, she ain’t goin nowhere.

We are still not finished with the work. We continue with the unpacking and arranging of the house. None of the exterior landscaping has been done. We’ll wait ’till it gets over 100 degrees around here before we begin that part. Right now it is WAY too comfortable.

So here are a few pics of the house thus far:

I’m sure most everyone who reads this blog (all two of you), do not care about the progress fo the Villa, but, the two times a year my family reads this blog, the’ll want to see it.

I can’t show you some of the other rooms, because they are not even close to being finished and I’m afraid that there would be murder in the Villa if I posted them.

So, until next time.
