Lets try this again!!

This is the third time I’ve tried writing in the blog! I get pretty well done then the dumb thing erases everything except the first sentence. I get frustrated and just leave it. This time… on the advice from Anna, I’m typing it in word and just copying it over.

Getting on with things… I had 3 weeks vacation which I spent going to a great wedding in Shelburne for my friends Josh Fender and Lisa Scarfo. Outdoor wedding… beautiful day…. Great food…. All around great wedding! Congrats you two!

Then we spent the following week and a bit at my in-laws house helping my Father-in-law replace the roof on his shed and side the whole thing. It was a homemade shed that was pretty big. Took a long time plus I got wicked sunburn the first day so it made the rest of the days so much longer.

Moving along, we came home and spent a couple days on Patrick’s new room and closet. The whole room was sanded, painted and the closet was built from the ground up. A LOT of work but it really turned out well. Patrick moved in shortly afterwards and seems to be happy.

My in-laws came up shortly after and my father-in-law and I moved top soil from my pool area and spread it around the lawn in the dead spots. I also used some to build up and level off the side of the house so when I put a fence in there… it should be close to even and will look nice. The problem is, I reburned my shoulders and arms so it was VERY tiresome and painful. However, while doing this work, I did come up with an idea to extend my pool fence and build a nice, large deck for my pool area. Should look good. Maybe next year or this fall, I’ll get started on it.

I then worked for 3 days. I figured I would be going to work to an easy few days but it turns out they had problems while I was away so when I returned, we were doing some pretty serious jobs with only a couple of experienced people (everyone else was on vacation). Long story short and not to get too complicated, we ended up trouble shooting to no end for the 3 days. VERY frustrating.

Now on to this week. I have yet another week off which is nice. Just taking things easy and doing a few things around the house. Deb has started redoing and painting the nursery for Sprout. She really wants to get it done quickly because I go back to work next week and it will be solid for several months so she won’t have time to do too much.

And that’s my life in a nutshell up to this point.

OH! I also saw Superman returns and Pirates of the Caribean: Dead man’s chest. Both excellent movies.
