There is a TREE in my backyard! ! ! ! !

Hmm, strange, what is this tree doing in my backyard !?!
Thanks Mr. HOA for cutting some of it out of my yard!

Only a little bit of it touched the house, no damage to roof!

So here is the story, about 3am on Friday, apparently there was wind strong enough to knock over this tree. It is a big ol Oregon tree, which fell ACROSS the property owner's yard and the top part of the tree landed in my yard. Anyone else's yard damaged? Nope, just mine!

So the previous owner of the townhomes (aka Mr HOA) was nice enough to cut some of it out of my yard. The property owner's insurance is set to take care of removal and fixing my fence. Everything should work out fine, but I cant help exclaiming "THERE IS A TREE IN MY BACKYARD!"

So last night I took my dog out on her leash, in our new back yard. A little ironic for me.

Cabinet color #1 - decided to go darker, see below

That is the color I want! You can see I have the fridge pulled out so I can paint behind it. I also got to do that with the washer and dryer. FUN.

Painting status: almost done with kitchen. Official word. Need to do my texture paint on the cabinet doors and install hardware. Then, I can move in. I should be able to complete the kitchen this week, to move in this weekend, but I also need to start packing boxes. Oh, and I have school on Monday and Wednesday night. So I dont think I can get everything ready in time, but we shall see.
