"I JUST WANNA SEE SOME...

Palm Trees!" 

People have asked us about the title of the blog.  The inspiration was a song by Everclear called "Santa Monica"....where they talk about dreaming of the "West Coast", finding a new place...and of course seeing some Palm Trees!

Now our west coast is that of Florida, but it still works and this week's update is full of palm trees. Now most are still in their "Safe Mode" and tied up...but you can get the idea. Royal Palms dot the front while Queen and Fox tails begin to set up the luau style backyard we're after. There are also a few that we put on our private beach.

We hear we'll be getting grass on Tuesday, carpet on Wednesday and hopefully power by Friday! 

Come take a look!

Oh...and we put the song video at the bottom of the page for ya! Enjoy!

Royal Palms (still tied at the top) but do a decent job as an "anchor".



3 of the 4 Fox tails that line the back.  I wish this thing
was about to dig our pool!



A shot from the dock...Palms still all tied up

Only thing missing is a Hammock!!!!

Queen Palm...sun tanning!

All 4 tied up.  What IS it with palms that they like being tied up!??!?!

LIVE BESIDE THE OCEAN!

A-L-M-O-S-T

The House is FINALLY starting to look like a home.  Over the last month there have been some monumental steps towards completion...and although Megan and I thought we'd be moved in by now we've had all kinds of surprises over the last four weeks.

Everything from the Workers Comp surprise inspection, to a Smurf Blue "White" carrara counter...that needed to come out.  A light delivery guy that only quotes days of the week...but doesn't tell  you what week!  A newel post master carpenter that "Lost Power" and fell behind.  Oh...we can't forget about the driveway  that crossed the property line....TWICE...and is now being ripped out for landscaping!

So we are just a bit behind...but we hear closing is next week so we are getting excited. 

We are in the process of picking out some palm trees and finalizing the landscape design...which should tie in well with the title of the blog.   More to come by the end of the week, so look for an update then.
