With activity. The new house was moved in on Monday. We were surprised to get a call that morning that it was on its way. You see, there had been a little bit of a kerflaffle about the transportation. When we ordered the house there were some modifications/upgrades that we could make one of which we chose involved having the walls sheet rocked instead of the standard wallboard/paneling. That particular package upgrade included 9' ceilings instead of 8'. Apparently the factory and their transport company did not do their homework. We had been told earlier that the bouse would be here the Wednesday before it actually arrived, but according to the regulations the house was too tall to be trucked in via the usual routes. There was all kinds of special permits involved and lots more money. In fact, the house was coming from a factory in Oregon and we live in northwestern Washington and every county the house passed through had to issue a separate permit. We did not have to pay any extra as we bought the house delivered and set up but someone had to eat $2300.00 extra in transportation charges. (I'm thinking we may have the only one with 9' ceilings!).
