First of all I'd like to say, "Miss ya!" Been long time no shit. In short, Hiring someone to do the job requires me to be there to teach people how to be a fricken carpenter. Very, VERY, long story however it is now done and they are no longer required on my property. When I say done I mean we are a complete shell, roof, walls, siding, trim, windows, doors. Sealing it up has been part of what I've been doing, nothing gets in or out. I have torn out the entire hot waterline, replaced with 3/4" CPVC vice 1/2". Tore out drain line which did not drain, a bit ripe I might add, ran a whole new graywater line for house......it drains. The electrical will be done by me, currently in the process of ruffin in. All new plumbing is ready to be tapped, with cut out valves, for the new laundry room and "doggy shower". Need to buy about a billion bucks worth of insulation.

NOW We had grandbaby on the 24th! First one! I can't say enough about that feeling. They call me "Bogart" nuff said. Ah, and then there's the family drama. Let's just say, some people will never change. I should know, I was married to the person for 19 1/2 years. But hey, nobody's got a bone to pick with us. Opa an Oma are GTG!

Now here are some pics:
1. Floor up, walls up.
2. Front yard
3. Framed up dried in
4. New roof
5. Found Pond!As seen from the front porch. Needed to clear out my head, people piss me off so much I needed to destroy something. So I broke out the dozer and spent 2hrs cleaning it out..........that's when I found the leak. 1 gallon hydraulic every two hours. Transmission cooler line got rubbed raw. Yeah, I got two more hours on it before I called it quits. This is another story for later, still on going.

OK, got two more to post.
