Frustration

Well I called the water company today because I still haven't heard from them and I sent everything in weeks ago. Well, come to find out they can't find it and I know they had it because a lady called to ask a question about it a week and a half ago. Anyways he said that he could still give me a quote. You need to know that before I bought the property I asked if there was city water readily available. That meant there not 1,000 feet down the road. I was told yes. So when I find out that it's a 1,000 feet down the road and going to cost $28,000, I was speechless. Readily available my ass! Come to find out that is why the person who wanted it before me didn't buy it. I guess they didn't want that happening again, so they told me it was.

Anyways... After I calmed down, I called a good friend of mine who just built out past me to ask her about her well. She told me how to get good pressure and to make sure that I put an oxidizer instead of a chlorinator. She likes her well water way better than the city water they had before. She says it's even good to drink. So I got the name of her well man and I'm going to give him a call later this week.

Kev's dad has worked for our gas company for over 30 years and says that he will go out there tomorrow  and see what he may be able to do. Supposedly they can put in water mains too (That is what was going to be so expensive).

We will see what happens. He is still trying to get an easement for us to use gas from the gated community behind us. I think about how long it has taken for all this to take place since we closed. I'm so ready for everything to be ready and the house to be on it's way.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!
