ok, so we still have A LOT more to do, but at least we have all the walls up now and we can sleep in it ^__^

and now we just need to finished the outside (roofing and stuff like that) and then do the inside. (floor, dry wall and insulation)
but at least we can now sleep in our own place without freezing our asses off! YAY!!! ^______^
and it's our own private space, which is nice after living in the goat lodge for.... how long has it been now? well, a long time now..... well, it seems like forever any way o_O"

first off, I've fixed the podcast and it's actually fixed and works in itunes now, yay! ^_^
Annwfn Video Podcast! ^_^

Also we are now officially out of the goat lodge and sleeping in our own place! YAY!!! ^_^
ok, we still have a long way till it's finished, but there's a roof and that's good enough for sleeping. Also we now have our own bed again, which is very nice ^_^

on other things, we had ice-cream yesterday! not only ice-cream, but homemade ice-cream! Jack cooked up the recipe and yesterday all of us took turning cranking the hand cranked ice-cream maker. it only took 15 minutes, which was very surprising since I know with my ice-cream maker at home (and that one id electric) it takes 30 minutes and Jack said that it normally took 30 minutes as well. Though he also said it's probably the recipe soimce it's a new recipe he had never tried before. So, the recipe is a winer ^_^
and it was very, very yummy too! ^_^

Also yesterday we went swimming at the pound, which was also a ton of fun. Me, Aileen, Jeff and Juan swam up stream a bit and found it was very nice to hand out there since it wasn't as windy and everyone else (it was pretty busy) was in the other part of the pound/creek/whatever you want to call it. So it was quite and peaceful further up the stream ^_^
ah, the swimming pond couldn't possibly be any more perfect. really, it is a piece of paradise. Especially on a hot day.

so I'm currently at the library, yay? Jeff and Juan are doing laundry and Aileen is at work. I was dropped off here since I wanted to dropped off some books and pick up the books I had on hold. Also I just wanted to surf the net and it really doesn't take 3 people to do the laundry. Also I assume they're going to go buy the rest of the ply wood for our roof, which they can do without me since I'd just be in the way.

speaking of the house, I've gone some more photos of how it's coming along ^_^

The house is coming along pretty well and we hope to finish the roof tomorrow. Or tonight, depends on how late it is when we get back.

and just because she's cute, here's Minako photos

I uploaded 17 photos from between 7/22 - 7/25. CLICK HERE To see them ^__^

So we worked on cutting firewood, which is alot hard than is sounds o_O"
the tree we were cutting was hard as a rock! ok, not that hard, but it did take a VERY long time to cut through that wood. seriously.
and then yesterday we put up part of the roof. I think we're probably going to get more work done on it ether tomorrow or the day after. dunno o_O"

on other things, I am still in the planning process for my NaNoWriMo novel. yeah, this year will be... interesting..... you know, not having too much power or any internet up there and all o_O"

oh right, ERICA, what was the name of the laptop that Nick suggested? I know it was a dell but I forget which one o_O"
or any really good gaming laptop suggestions would be great, cuz I'm looking into getting a laptop eventually.

So apparently Jeff just called 'bobby' (someone that left their number on Jeff's voice mail) and apparently she is the person that Jeff's mom (not Jeff, let me make that clear) let stay there. I really hope this lady doesn't give us any trouble, then again dad has been telling me horror stories of adverse possession and how if this lady really wanted to, should could take the house right out from under our noses just because she's been living there for X amount of years. then again, dad said it's only if we knew about it and gave her permission the entire time. BUT the thing is we didn't know she was there the entire time! it almost seemed like she was going out of her way to avoid contacting anyone, from what I've heard. (also she has been gone for a month, I think that has some effect on it)

*sigh*
I just hope she isn't planning on giving us any trouble. Jeff said she sounded like she wasn't going to give the place up easily because of all the work she has done with it.
like Jeff said, we need to act fast before this lady pulls anything. (if she is planning on it any way)

well, wish us luck

So we tried to get down to the office to pay the guy his money but we just didn't make it in time >_<
stupid traffic and watern union not being in the same city!
and since it was too late to start driving home we decided to spend another night.

though this trip hasn't been an entire waste. we found out that there are people living in the house, even though they are avoiding contacting us. also we got to have lunch with Jeff's dad today in Downtown Disneyland. Also I got to get a stuff toy at Build-A-Bear Workshop ^_^

ok, I'm tired now, good night

ADDED:
oh yeah, we're staying at the Comfort Inn tonight

So the day started off pretty good. We called the lawyer and he was right person. He said he'd pull up the file and call us back, so in the mean time we decided to to to the zoo. We looked around and had a pretty good time.
though then he called us and told us he whouldn't work with us till Jeff's mom called him (since she was the one working with him) and pay him back for all the old debts. *rolls eyes* so right now we are at a stale mate in till he freaking tells us exactly how much we owe him (over $1,600!). Also he dose have the will, so I guess we have to go through this guy. *sigh*

also we decided to leave those people another letter, but typed up and better looking this time. though it took a while to find a place to print it (finally decided to go to kinko's) and then it took forever to find some freaking stamps! We wanted to make sure that the envelope we left with them was addressed and stamped so there would e a higher chance of them sending it in if they don't call us.
ALSO there was some mail in their mail box! so we now know that someone named Sheri Fister lives there. *shrugs* it's something, I guess. we also saw the other dog, it looked a whole lot meaner than the other one. I really hate people who have guard dogs that block the door.

So no one called last night, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. From what I've heard they have been trying to get a hold of these people for a while (even sending them pre-paid envelopes) and no one has bothered to response. Also from the looks of it, it seems like there are more than just one group of people there. not sure about that, but there was a sign on the door saying "please keep closed and locked"

well, Jeff is calling the lawyer his parents were dealing with last time they were down here. Not sure what else we can do though.
well, wish us luck
