we were down a man at work again today "main st." was sick. i have to get a filling at the dentist tomorrow morning and the work wife is leaving early. we seem to be a unhealthy group lately. BTW this morning the temp was 65°...tonight 30° and snow. WTF! work was busy, even without our main sales guy. the drawing bins always had something in them. there is always something to do, even if i am not drawing signs for quotes. We are a spin-off of a bigger company, spun at the beginning of the year. there are many drawing borders to change to the new company name and always new designs and things to try. i am also working on some aluminum extrusions for the main company, but i am finding it hard to get them done, with all the work for the new company and missing persons in the office.
here is where the title at the top comes in today. i am going to post a few pics of the house. today the sheathing went up on the addition and the dormer was cut out... the dormer with the skylights. the skylights my mother kept harping on me to tell them to save. sorry mom. they are smashed to bits. not the end of the world, and i don't know if i want "used skylights" back on the new roof. but i didn't listen to my mom and now i don't even have a choice to use them or not. crap.
I ate dinner at the folks, parmasean chicken, a great meal. my mom can make some good parm. chick, potato salad and cake rounded out the menu. i ate too fast, as usual, and got a bit of a belly ache. cooter fell asleep in his high chair, poor little guy.
Juju bought a new car today, a 92 passat and a used fridge and groceries. car used, fridge used, groceries new. she found the car at a local car dealership. they are friends of her brother. the 24 cubic ft, bottom freezer, black fridge. it is a few years old, she saw it in the paper, went to see it and i am picking it up tomorrow. she is the queen of the bargain shoppers. now all we have to do is figure out how to pay for it all. lol we still need eveything else for the kitchen. we will have to go to a kitchen store and have them lay out a few scenarios for us. not sure if we want a wall oven and cooktop or an all-in-one. as the contractor said, "come take pictures every day as things will change very rapidly". he was not lying.
well, it is 9 pm and i hope cooter sleeps through the night. i am going to bed as juju watches the biggest loser...not a fan. i usually watch the end to see who gets kicked off. my biggest loser "girlfriend" Brittnay got kicked off a few weeks ago. so there is really no reason to watch. she said before she left that when she comes back for the final show she will be "steamy hot" guess what Brittnay, you already are. SNAP!
i came home from work and started laundry. "wife" went to chuch to set up for the semi-annual rummage sale. she picked up a car seat, as ours was smashed in the "tree incident". and my mom picked up some clothes for "boy". gramma and papa stopped by about 7 pm, just as "boy" was settling down. crap.
Hopefully, the roof will come off this week and the new one will span the whole new footprint of the house. it's gonna be big. the new part will be one big open living/dining/kitchen. the right will be a master bedroom in the front with walk-in closet and master bath. a 1/2 bath and laundry room in the middle and "boy's" bedroom in the back. we will be finishing the upstairs ourselves. 1 master bedroom with master bath and walk-in closet, 2 bedrooms, 1 more bath and a bonus room. the master downstairs will be turned into a guest bedroom/study when we move upstairs. and the back bedroom will be a tv room or something. we are very excited and can't wait for the finish.
