Remodel Fun

So, it has been awhile since my last post so I figured I would fill you in on what has been going on.

In the work world things have sped up considerably and life is busy.  We tilted enough wall panels to surround about 2/3 of the building and have started putting up "shade" (roof structure).  We just released a bunch of our TI (Tenant Improvement) subcontractors so now I am contract and submittal mode all over again.  And now I am working on sorting out all of our  Change Orders to make sure everything is getting paid for. So all of that is long days and lots of fun.

Outside of work I have been working on remodeling my friends bathroom, as most of you know.  This remodel has turned into the Murphy's Law of remodeling.  If something could go wrong it has and not in an easy to fix sort of way.  Today we had to essentially remove a wall to get the Tub/Sower surround into the bathroom.  But the good news is that it is installed so now most of the hard stuff is complete and we can start dry-walling and finishing.  But it has come at the cost of long days and rough work.  I can't wait till its done and I know it will look great when I am finished.  My friend M has already committed to visiting and showering in it.

The only other current happening in my life is I am planning to purchase a truck this weekend.  But I am having second thoughts and chances are by tomorrow I will have made the responsible decision to pay off debt instead of making more... but that is a whole other post that may soon follow.

So in the coming weeks I have a busy work schedule, my sister's wedding the second weekend in Sept and next weekend I get to see my good friend R who just got back from Iraq and got engaged.  It should be a good month.
