In light of recent events in my life, this quote (not necessarily truly direct) from an episode of CSI.
“Have you ever done the right thing and then felt guilty about it, anyway?”
“Sure. It sucks, doesn’t it?”

Today, while having lunch at Wendy’s, we saw an older gentleman who reminded us both of our childhoods. Lori’s grandfather and Emil’s dad and grandfather were all carpenters.
The man was dressed in a long-sleeve denim shirt, an older style (now, we call them “trucker” style) ball cap, and blue/white striped overalls. He was a little [...]

A while back, we saw a demo of the protoype for this alarm clock. Since we have to have multiple alarms to get to work on time, it cracked us up. I wonder what the cats would do to/with it…?

(While Lori was at a BV QueSt meeting to determine how much money the GAYla raised) Emil finished the hallway!
We only have one tiny closet and some transition pieces left to do! Once we have that and all the sealant on the guest bathroom, the 2/1 side of our upstairs will all be Pergo!! It’s [...]

Guest bath: first coat of sealent is on the perimeter. It takes 24 hours to set before we can do the 2nd coat, another 24 for the second coat to set before we can reinstall the toilet and trim the room, and 72 hours to cure completely. So, we’ll work on that room each evening [...]

We took a well-deserved break to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with our Aggie Bar Crawl friends. After dinner at Fitzwilly’s, we met up with the group at Mad Hatter’s. We bar hopped a little, but mostly just talked and laughed and laughed and laughed.

Our favorite quote of the night occurred [...]

Well the guest bath is laid, but not sealed or trimmed. The craft room is trimmed. We unloaded all the things from the master suite that we don’t use on a daily basis (of course, this still leaves a lot, like closet shelving units that reach the floor.) We ripped all the carpet, padding, tacks, [...]

We changed our plan a bit for today. Since we needed two people to place the floors in the craft room, and since we can’t fit two people in the bathroom, we traded those.
The craft room is finished except for some trim. (We bought all that was in stock a couple of days ago, so [...]

Well, we laid a lot less floor today, but we still made very good progress. After discovering we purchased the wrong thickness of sub-floor material for the guest bathroom (water damage in that room had swelled the floor, so the thickness was deceiving), we made yet another trip to the hardware store. Emil spent the [...]

With a good set of prepping under our belts (Sunday, we planned and shopped. Monday and Tuesday evenings, we prepped and started learning how to work with the flooring materials), we had a very productive first day of installing new Pergo floors on the top level of our house. The guest room is now finished–complete [...]
