It's finished!

Since the hubby is going to do the painting, and he's waiting for drier weather, as well as some free time, I'm going to post this before painting.  It will be the same white color as the house, so you should get a good idea.

Picture heavy, perhaps not suitable for dial up.

 9 April 2008, It's going to be electrified!

11 April 2008 - The magic device is installed!

  That's right, I pushed the button and watched it go up and down for several minutes!

13 April 2008, When I woke up, I saw the hubby out mowing the lawn and I went out to tell him I was up, and I saw this.

I went and inspected a little closer, and here is the picture I've been waiting patiently to post!

TaDa!!!!  My car is parked INSIDE the garage!!!!!

Now, just to cement my reputation as a bald eagle obsessed mad woman, here is a close up of my license plate.

I'm so giddy!  Of course there are a few little finishing touches which need to be completed, like the painting, but we have a proper GARAGE!!!

You can see why I thought your garage door was familiar ... not quite, but almost :)

meanwhile Harry has found out the truth re Sirius and Pettigrew ... they are about to leave the Shrieking Shack via the passage way to the base of the Whomping Willow.

They look pretty darn close.

Oh dear, stuff is about to start happening quickly there at Hogwarts.

After I uploaded I tried to delete as the picture is too big but LJ would not let me, typical.

I will read again tonight ... that Professor Snape is such a dork.

Typical LJ. I'll be reading more tonight as well. I'm sure Harry is going to try and hide from everyone at Grimmauld Place.

Snape is a super dork, he really thinks he 'saved' the kids from Sirius, idiot.

Yes .. this is where in Book 3 they left good bits out, we got some, but it is wrong to assume everyone who sees the movies has also read the books.

[mav-fan.livejournal.com]

Very true, they left a LOT out of the third movie, and I don't know why, it wasn't that long.

The hubby hasn't read any of the books at all, but watches the movies. I'm under strict orders not to let any plot bits slip in front of him, so he doesn't know what is going to happen before he sees the movie.

My husband gives me a running commentary of the first 3 ... he does not like 4 and 5, so I have to watch them on my own, which is best ... much quieter :)

[mav-fan.livejournal.com]

At least you get to watch a couple of them in quiet. :-)
I can't wait until November when the Half Blood Prince comes out. I always try and go see the movies the day they are released.

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

I will wait until the rush is over i.e. school holidays are finished ... we almost have the theatre to ourselves.

[mav-fan.livejournal.com]

I usually go during the daytime when the kids are still in school, but since it's in November, I may have to make sure they are in school before going.
Of course, I buy the DVDs as soon as they come out as well.

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

The movies always come out to coincide with school holidays and the noise from them would be too much for my husband (he wears a hearing aid and it picks up everything). Better when it is quieter. Only 7 more months ... and then there is going to be a bit of a gap for the last movie ... the wait is going to be painful.

[mav-fan.livejournal.com]

I wear a hearing aid on occasion and I completely understand how loud kids in a theater can be. For the last two movies, when I went during the day, it was 99% adults and only a handful of kids, very nice!
Waiting for the last one is going to be very difficult.

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

OMG !

I wear hearing aids too (both ears) ... when watching TV ... we have a loop going under the large mat in the lounge ... cuts out all other noise and you can just hear the sound coming from the telly.

Don't wearing them any other time as they pick up too much ... even if it is quiet, they will pick up the motor from the fridge.

[mav-fan.livejournal.com]

If I'm by myself, I wear them for TV, but they do make the regular house noises way too loud. The cats sound like elephants when they run on the wood floor.

We have cement floors ... so no thundering paws :)
