Maybe at a crossroads

Brian may be getting a job offer from TV Guide afterall. He got a call the other day from Eric saying he should be hearing more from TV Guide any day now. He got a rejection letter last week but Ellyn also initially got a rejection letter from IBM before finally being hired by them...29 years ago.

Back to some visible construction changes.

So I have been doing electrical work for a while and the daily changes were small. Today, I got the electrical in the bathroom inspected so now I can close up some of the walls in there. However, before I can close up the vanity wall, I needed to work on the wall behind it in the hallway, which will contain a new bookcase. So today I opened up that wall, cut out the studs, and put in a new header over the opening to support a beam which holds up some of the ceiling joists. New pictures have been added to the remodeling photos on the WebShots website.

Tomorrow I will put in the rest of the framing members but I will not trim it until I tape the sheetrock on the back of the bookcase area.

Another milestone?

Well, I almost have the electrical in the bathroom ready for inspection. I should finish it up tomorrow and see if I can get it inspected on Wednesday, when the vanities are being delivered. I also got the timers for the fans today so I can order the switches and outlets for the bathroom. Perhaps I will see if i can save some money ordering them on line instead of going to F&M Electric.

What's up now?

So, what happened this week? Well, I have been doing some of the electrical work in the bathroom. I should finihs it up so I can get it inspected. Then I can convince Ellyn it is time to remove the shower. I put the lights in the ceiling of the bedroom the other day.

A great check-up

My doctor says my EKG, blood pressure, and blood work all is looking good. In the year since my last check-up, I have taken off and kept off about 35 pounds. My cholestol is down from 217 to 177 and my chol/HDL ratio has gone from 4.7 down to 3.1. My HDL has gone up and LDL has gone down. All the numbers are in the normal range and my blood pressure is well within the normal range. That is the kind of good doctor news I like to get.
