I had a dream. A dream that one day, all our bathrooms would be equal. That one day, we could choose which bathroom to use, and not be burdened by stepping on construction material and drywall dust. Today…my dream did not come true. I installed the duct work, and connected one part of the wiring [ Read More ]

Today was saturday. That meant watching Liverpool beat Arsenal, then getting stuck into a day of DIY. It was supposed to the fairly mild today, but the attic retained just enough heat to suck every bit of moisture out of my body and into my shirt…all in about 2 minutes of being up there. I [ Read More ]
I was considering working from home this morning, simply because Melody can always use my help, but also because I could have done pretty much everything from home that i could have done at work…..except for the meeting scheduled for me at 10am. So i went into work at 7 as usual….tired…but looking forward to [ Read More ]

Turns out…they are pretty easy to install…and I was done fairly [ Read More ]
just to keep the streak alive…i worked on the bathroom again today, this time putting up the trim for the built-in shelves that i constructed. It’s where we’ll store all the towels and small items, which will free up some space in the hallway closet…which is tentatively targeted for baby stuff. I basically spent the [ Read More ]
I spent the day putting some finishing touches on the bathroom, and doing some other pottering around the house. Nothing too exciting…just getting as many of the little things done as possible before our house gets two new occupants.
After a quiet summer of no world cup, no european championships….the English Premier league is back…and for once i think Liverpool have a decent chance of pushing for top 2 or 3 by the end of the season. So, after watching the Liverpool match, I got some work done on the bathroom, just to keep [ Read More ]
I had my first regular dentist appointment since we moved to Raleigh today. They thought my teeth were in good shape, but i do have problem spots that need to be kept an eye on, and also some things that need to be fixed. Some of them are my fault for not taking as good [ Read More ]
