Stormy Weekend Well, we definitely got a little shot of rain — according to my gauge, just over 1.5 inches…although with the wind, it’s very difficult to actually estimate what really fell. Saturday morning (around 8AM), we got pummeled by a really quite nasty-looking storm. What a way to wake up. It’s one of the…

Feelin’ hot, Hot, HOT! We’ve had an unusual (compared to recent years) hot spell here in July, with (I believe) 11 straight days of 90+ degree (F) temperatures. If I recall the statistic correctly, that’s not happened since 1988. While it’s good to (finally) see a warm summer again (it seems as though the last…

Slowing Down? It’s hit that odd time of the summer where Independence Day has passed, which generally means things should slow down some? Yeah, right. It seems as though we’ve been ‘booked solid’ through the middle of the month. Even after that. The calendar seems to fill up so fast — after all, it’s as…

A Busy Month! Well, I have to say that I’ve been meaning to write up some more stuff here, but I’ve just been overwhelmed by things going on in the last three weeks or so. For starters, the last three weekends have (more or less) been busy with various events we’ve attended, compounded with the…

Brief Hiatus Well, I managed to take a nearly two-week hiatus from these musings, but I’m very happy to report that much has taken place in this time: Bathroom Status Phase one of the project is complete! It was completed on May 22 in the [late] evening. Since that time, we have been using the…

Not quite so long this time… Yes, I managed to get a news entry in here in just over a week from the last one — not bad, but I actually have things to mention as well… Bathroom Status Well, I’m happy to report that substantial progress towards the completion of phase 1 of the…

A Busy Month Well, as time would seem to imply, I’ve taken yet another month-long hiatus from writing these news items. It’s an odd phenomenon, that time thing, but Einstein seemed to have it figured out, so that makes it better. Anyway, on to the news of the last month: Work, Work, Work… It’s the…

Dog Antics Well, due to my workload at work and the dog issues, not much has taken place this last week on the order of getting work accomplished on the bathroom project. However, yesterday (Saturday) we were able to get the house more or less clean in a fairly thorough sense (with the exception of…

More of the Same As far as the bathroom project goes, much more progress has been made, but not quite as much as I’d hope. However, as of yesterday (April 2), the walls have started to go back up, which means that inevitably we’re closer to the end result. And considering that the wall demolition…

State of the Bathroom Address I’m happy to report that, while not as much progress as I’d hoped was made, much progress has been made in the bathroom project this weekend. First off, the remainder of the wall at the head of the bathtub was dismantled. It had already been taken down, but it was…
