Much of our furniture was moved in today.  We had to be selective because all the furniture we had at our former house will not fit in the new house.
We hired the firemen that we hired almost two years ago to move us out of our former house.  They did an excellent job then and they did an excellent job today.

Yesterday the electrical was finished with the exception of a few fixtures and the cable TV connections.  Today Janice and I picked up the floor buffer from the rental place.  The house is now ready for one more floor sealing tomorrow and then we'll be ready to move the furniture in. 

Janice in the kitchen.  Everything is working now.  Tonight she will
cook the first meal using the new appliances.  No more RV stove. 
No more RV refrigerator.  No more RV kitchen sink.  It's hard
to believe that it's taken almost an entire year to get to this point.

Today I finished installing all the door knobs and door pulls.  Janice finished cleaning all the windows and installed some of the screens.  Tomorrow we'll finish installing the screens and reserve the buffer for one last floor buffing and sealing on Monday.  Tomorrow we also have to make copies of the floor plan for the Williamson County tax folks.  We have an appointment with them on Tuesday. 
Trico, the propane company providing our service, came by and fixed the stove.  It's up and running.  They tested the system and everything was ok except for the HVAC furnace.  The HVAC guys haven't returned yet to set up the furnace for propane.  The guy from Trico told me to call him when the HVAC guys finished and he would return for the final inspection.  Back and forth and forth and back, the same nonsense we've been going through the entire time we've been building this ranch house.

It's been almost a month since I posted pictures.  It shows you how this has been going.  The HVAC was completed today.  They weren't able to connect the furnace part because they didn't have the propane orifice to install.  They said they'd be back tomorrow to finish.  Heck, it's 96 degrees out there right now.  The air conditioner works great in the house.  We were very satisfied with its performance.
They finished installing the kitchen appliances.  The range and oven aren't working yet because Sears lost one of the propane orifices for one of the burners.  The propane guys are coming tomorrow to check pressures and finish the work.  They told me that they may have an orifice that fits.
We are nearing a year building this ranch house.  I believe we are a couple of weeks away from moving in.  We simply have to move in this month.
