House
Repairs and Remodel Continue
Now that the weather is a little cooler, I can get back up in the attic during the day without killing myself from heat exhaustion. The past few nights and weekends have involved me laying new layers of insullation and running cable, phone and internet lines to different rooms of the house.
Something that I thought [...]
A Close Call
The other afternoon, I walked out of my house after being home for a few hours to discover a huge limb from the tree in the font yard completely blocking me in my driveway. I am so thankful that the tree didn’t hit my truck. Needless to say, I ended up maneuvering my [...]
High Water in Texas
So the 4th of July is upon us and with the weather that we are facing here in Austin, it doesn’t look like much is going to happen outside. Most, if not all, of the lakes are closed in and around Austin becuase of the huge amounts of water that we have gotten here in [...]
Yea for Craigslist
I’m pretty happy with some results I got today from Craigslist. Since I have been remodeling and fixing up my home, I have generated a lot of trash. More recently, I took down a deck that was in my front yard and I had the wood pieces and all the cinder blocks sitting [...]
Where Everybody Knows You By Name

Work On The House Has Begun
So the repair work on my new house has finally started. We are expecting some bad weather here in Austin in the next few days so I am really hopeing that this doesn’t delay anything further. I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed about all of this.
I am seriously hoping to close on the [...]
This House Sucks
My new house that is. I just found out today that the closing date on my house has been moved yet again. AWESOME!
For those that might be wondering why we haven’t closed yet, I asked for a some repairs be made and paid for by the seller and they company that they have contracted out, [...]
I Don’t Read Enough
I’m sitting in my room after waking up for a serious migraine that came from no where last night. It hit as I have been going through some of the blogs that I read and keep up with a weekly basis that I don’t read enough. Reading is always something that has appeared [...]
