A Weighty Issue

I made someone very happy this week. For 20 years, the first thing you saw when you walked in the door was the giant weight machine on the lower level. It was big and it was ugly.



She has been whining about getting rid of it for years. It is finally gone-at least from this spot.



One of the rooms I have been working on is all for me.



All of my weight lifting equipment is now in one place and out of sight.



I even let her put her trampoline and stationary bike in there.



I had to or she won't help me set up my computer in the formerly empty corner.

Put a Door On It

The closet door jam is crooked. Very crooked.



I had to do major damage to the new door in order for it to close.



Shaving off a big chunk left the end to be reattached.



In a day or two when the glue is dry we shall see if all this work was worth it.

Are You Ready for Some Football?

Scores to settle. Check.



Refrigerator full of snacks. Check.



Island covered in junk food. Check.



Fire roaring. Lights lit. Check.



Damn.

Home Improvement Part 3

I know this doesn't look like progress but trust me, it is. A few weeks ago you couldn't even walk through this room.

Always Saturday

It's been one year to the day that I retired after delivering people's mail for 37 years.



My hat says it all. I don't miss it one little bit.

Home Improvement Part 2

Room number one is done and room number two is near completion.



Now the trick will be to keep the kids from filling them up with their junk. This isn't a storage facility any longer. Rent a Pod.

Home Improvement

SHE went back to work so of course I had to tear up the house.



I painted one of the downstairs bedrooms and then put down a new tile floor-all by myself.



This is going to be MY room. In a 5 bedroom, 3 bath house shared now by only 2 people, every room counts and I called dibbs on this one. I am not sure what I am going to do with it but SHE wants all my exercise equipment in it.
