New House - Day Three
Adrienne banned me from painting of any kind. Since nobody was helping me in the kitchen, there were a lot of places where I put down too much paint, and it dripped and there were thick spots and other nasties. It really looked pretty terrible. They've sanded down the drips and will put another coat of paint on tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Erin and I redeemed ourselves by doing a fabulous job of painting her room. I have to say, using the power roller properly takes some practice.
We emptied out the storage unit (mostly) and also brought over a truckload of stuff from the garage. We ended up unpacking quite a bit of the stuff we brought, and Emily was very excited about seeing her toys again - many of which she hadn't seen since we started showing the house in April.
One of our neighbors was kind enough to bring us some muffins today to welcome us to the neighborhood. Pearson Farms is a much nicer neighborhood than Hollands Crossing.
I have the pleasure of going to work tomorrow, and then going to a conference in DC the rest of the week (CFUNITED - a Coldfusion programmers conference). By the time I get back on Saturday, maybe all the nasty work will be done ;)

My name is Hyoung Ik Lee. I occured your blog home page accidently, when I search for Royal Oaks Building Group. Where did you hear about this company and the owner. Actually, I want to buy a house, which they are building now. I would like to ask your advice, where you got that information.
If I bothered you, I am very sorry.
Thanks,
Hyoung
The rest of the information is unsubstantiated and I don't want to go into detail.
They *HAVE* had complaints to the Better Business Bureau. Presumably, someone had a problem, couldn't get it resolved, and went to the BBB.
I was also concerned about their customer service, after looking at their web site at www.royaloaksbg.com - no phone numbers.
