Post 32. And now it's a threesome...

Yep, we've got a new member of the family and she's going to be living with us.

We haven't come up with a name for her yet, but stay tuned for that in the near future.

In the meantime, enjoy some pics and 3rd party reviews...

Post 30. Requiem.

It's been a while since I posted anything. Sorry. Been busy with the new job and everything.

I was prompted to post today, however, because of a "random" friend request I received on Facebook today. You know the type, someone you don't know adds you as a friend, and you're not sure why or who they are..

Well, so this 'tard adds me, and I was like.. umm, your name might be familiar, but I'm not sure - so I sent him a message. The conversation below is what transpired.
Today at 4:32pm

Subject: Do I know you?
Between Md.Ashraf Hussain Shaon and You




Md.Ashraf Hussain Shaon
Today at 4:51pm
no perhaps.wanna khow me?


Today at 4:58pm
no.



Md.Ashraf Hussain Shaon
Today at 5:03pm
why no?



Today at 5:15pm
what possible reason is there for me to get to "know" you?

1. this is facebook - "virtual friendships" mean nothing.
2. you sound like you're propositioning me when you ask "wanna".
3. you type and spell terribly, indicative of low-creed.
4. you look like you need more culture and education - fyi, people with sense and sensibility don't pose like that on pictures.

all of which leads me to conclude that you're just another typical, bangladeshi flunky who's just discovered the so-called wonders of staying awake all night and making "friends" online since you don't have any in real life, in order to gloat to your fellow retards the next day.

blocked.

Post 29. Kitchen's Done!

Whew - it's been a while coming, yeah? At least we think so. We're finally done with the kitchen renovation, and it looks great! We didn't get to replace the couches in the living room yet, but we will... sometime. The 2nd bathroom was also touched on - we redid the floor and took out the old vanity/sink and replaced it with a much nicer unit and a vessel bowl. I also replaced the old toilet with a pressure-assisted tank - which means no matter how large a deposit you make, it's not going to clog the pipe! Have at it, me hearties! You should hear the sound it makes - it's like those super toilets on an airplane... you know, the ones where you think it'll be fun to clog it up mid-flight, so you dump a whole roll of TP - but it doesn't even slow it down... what? You've never done that? Umm. Oh. Well, you should try it. Maybe you'll be able to make the toilet on the plane overflow mid-flight and win a prize or something. Enjoy the pics!


Picture of the island, pantry, bar and half of the living room...


Living room and new/improved kitchen!

Pantry/Bar (with fruits on it ... that'll change, no worries).

Kitchen again, with Crina's mom doing what she does best - Cook!

Another shot of the kitchen...

Close-up of the island (it's Quartz!)... too bad you can't see the backsplash - my favorite feature of the kitchen.

From the other side... I love the custom look.


And another... rotating left. TV/Fireplace.


That's where a lot of my attention is focused...


The art piece mom made for us. It's funky and metal...


And finally, the 2nd bathroom! It's still unfinished as you can tell - the walls need to be plastered and painted, and the marble needs to be put up behind the tub (you can't see it), but everything works and the vanity/vessel bowl is awesome!

What it used to be...

For those of you not familiar with what the kitchen looked like before, here are a couple of pictures taken soon after we moved in... just to give a scale of what the changes were.


Post 27. Kitchen Day 17

We're finally done with the floor and cabinets and the lights! The countertops are going to be put in on May 6th - which is awesome.
