As you know, we have to have a whole new septic system installed to sell this house. The laws have changed since we built this house, 28 years ago. This is NOT something we want to do but we have to. So this beautiful, pink azalea is one of the bushes that has been sacrificed. This is how it looked this Spring. And this beautiful Japanese maple is still standing but wait til you see what has happened around it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05V1mSrmaQE-FPNswdYBMQkSLuXPFAqVhYeCL5A-pCODDwhubUqTxWWPVePnWZQPpPba_31-TUPnSh6wh8iYm82hA8zwH0g8J8xTcMP5OtWl3Pu5rA-81DW_GgAQxhTuHfB4KSxdbWU01/s1600/IMG_0734.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" sca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05V1mSrmaQE-FPNswdYBMQkSLuXPFAqVhYeCL5A-pCODDwhubUqTxWWPVePnWZQPpPba_31-TUPnSh6wh8iYm82hA8zwH0g8J8xTcMP5OtWl3Pu5rA-81DW_GgAQxhTuHfB4KSxdbWU01/s640/IMG_0734.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is a view looking down from the back deck towards the pond.

When they were digging here, they uncovered the 2 pipes that come out from the house from the geothermal heat pump and also the plumbing and septic. But when they uncovered them they knocked them backwards and BROKE one so water was pouring out. It LOOKED like it was coming from INSIDE the house but after alot of running around and fright, they discovered it was broken OUTSIDE and were able to fix it. Thank God, that would have meant ALOT of problems!!!!

Tomorrow they will be back to finish, then they will regarde, reseed, and Joe will try to make the yard presentable again. I feel so bad for him. He really has put his heart and soul into this yard for all these years. Well, we both have really.I hate to see him upset with this mess but I know he will make it as beautiful as possible for the new owners.<br />Thanks so much for stopping by and for following us on this journey! I will show you where we are on the NEW house soon. They HAVE dug the hole and today were supposed to start doing the footings. I hope we can get there tomorrow night and get some more pics that I can share with you. XO, Pinky

I hope you are able to KEEP COOL on this sweltering day!!!!!!!!!!!OMGoodness, this is CRAZY hot! And I realize most of the nation is in the same boat. I told my son I was going to come to Florida to COOL OFF!!!!!!!!!!!:):) So, Tracy and Dave, and the 2 dogs, moved out and into their NEW HOME this past Sat. I was there every day til they went back to work on Thurs.  So today, Joe and I "restaged" the rooms for selling. We do have a showing today at 5:45! Please keep your fingers (and toes) crossed:):) This is the room that T and D were in for 5 months. The bed was on the wall where the cedar chest is now and their dresser was where THIS small piece is. It is actually my server from the dining room!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2zBhZ0FC1I4ztsUqFjef-YXbLljpeCtuyYyoAK2tWG8WOxEljdbTvfBx-3LagHXWkHsZaaMmI9cwyfTqqRNuX-WXLZtfUcxTn71TrwKM8U97nY6-xwOrbUfcH9b3oRXyfdwGSSU18RuT/s1600/IMG_1553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" sca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm2zBhZ0FC1I4ztsUqFjef-YXbLljpeCtuyYyoAK2tWG8WOxEljdbTvfBx-3LagHXWkHsZaaMmI9cwyfTqqRNuX-WXLZtfUcxTn71TrwKM8U97nY6-xwOrbUfcH9b3oRXyfdwGSSU18RuT/s640/IMG_1553.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I put the bed back on the wall it originally was on.

This was 'the year of the table', as I got not 1 or 2 but 3 tables for my birthday this year. (Don't let my mom and I loose on the retail world). More on those tables another day but today I have a different table in mind. Or lack of a table rather.</span><br /><br />I'm narrowing in on a complete living room plan but one thing that is missing is a coffee table. Coffee tables are a touchy subject in this house as that is the only piece of furniture that has a 'the one that got a way' story. It is too sad to mention but just know that it had an antique round marble top and the most awesome and unique base...see I can't even talk about it. I'll cry. Anyway, moving on.<br /><br />We need a coffee table. A round coffee table.<br /><br />We could go with something in honor of 'the table that cannot be named'.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
