Hey All! Just a few pics of CalcTeachers new footers and HotRods walls and rafters waiting to be installed. I'd say Monday is going to be a busy day at these build sites!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Default Moon Over Bonifay

I was out with Janice's aunt and we were looking at the high rent district on Bonifay Path. I looked to my right and saw this photo op and had to take advantage of it. I was gonna get you guys a real moon over Bonifay but her aunt would take my pic with drawers lowered so you were spared a full moon shot.

Lisa, how exciting is that? You have finally begun your build! Does it finally feel real? And look what just a weeks time will get you. I actually can see the outline of a house now! Holy cow!
WV-truly I cannot thank you enough for doing this. It means so much to be able to see vicariously what is happening and how they are progressing when one is so danged far away! I SO owe you for this and am fortunate to have you and Janice as new found friends!

That is a beautiful shot, Rusty! I hope we have a lot more of those in our future! Well done.

Thanks for the NON-MOON shot . . . . .
Had you done it there's no doubt you would have ended up on the MOST WANTED board at the WV State Troopers office. You could have never gone back

Was up at 6:30 this morning to be at the house by 8:00 for the closet installer. Also took a load of stuff. He was done in about 4 hours and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Sears also delivered the stove at about 12:30 so that's done with. We also picked up the Queens Ride (new golf car) at 2:00 and just got back from that. I an whipped.

Tomorrow consists of helping Janice's aunt for a while and then Macy's delivers the lanai furniture.

Monday, I don't even want to think about...deliveries all day long except for a well deserved break while meeting with TerpDawg for happy hour at the Bonita Country Club before he hightails it back to Maryland to await the birth of a new grandchild!

Last night we took a load of "stuff" to the house but we can't stay there yet because the matresses aren't going to be there until Monday. I did, however, stop by Publix this a.m. and get beer, wine and soda so we're set. The Keurig is also set up and ready for use.

TerpDawd stopped by this morning for a great visit and brought more Corona...I'm a rich man with all of these friends. As Terp was leaving, Shcisamax stopped by for a visit too! Great people!!!

Unfortunately, I had to cancel dinner with Jimbo tonight and I feel terrible about that put I'm just too pooped to pop. We'll do it soon, I promise.

Batman...you're the "list" but you'll have to remind me of your build date.

HotRod...you've got full walls (pics to follow).

Calc...you've got sand moved and rough in plumbing done, I think (pics to follow).

That's about it for now...I really need a nap...
WVMtnBoy,

Our design meeting is at the end of December so build start should be early Jan 13. I will send a reminder when the time is near.

Default Salute to HotRod

I went by the house this evening and finished putting together a Martha Stewart chair we bought at Home Depot (never again) and decided to take a break. I thought about all the Corona in the fridge and decided that one would taste awfully good! Went in to the fridge and then paused...no bottle opener. Not to fear...when ya want a cold one a screw driver carefully applied will pop a top right off!

Went out to the lanai and then had another flash of brilliance. So, here's a salute to HotRod and her new home!!!

Default Salute to CalcTeacher

And then I had another flash of brilliance. I walked over to the other side of the yard...so, here's another salute to CalcTeacher!

Sometimes I crack myself up!!!

Good News Hotrod. I noticed in Rusty's picture you have a roof on your Porta-Potti now. They had a good day today

Randy enough fooling around get back to working on something.

Let's hear your punch list for the next two days.

What's the status on landscaping? Where's the palms?

Everything should be done when I get back or no beer for you.

Sorry Hotrod. That Porta-Potti belonged to CalcTeacher.
