Second Avenue!The guys came back to do the clean up on Thursday and Friday mornings. The rubble was taken away and the various equipment removed. Also on Thursday, Johnny brought 3 loads of soil, then returned to spread it out along the side and front of the house on Friday.<br />

As you can see, it all looks great and now we have to wait until the grass grows back and the yards actually begin to be natural again. The guys want me to put more soil in the front yard (above picture) and have the yard flat, instead of sloping down toward the new wall. They really just want to spend more time with me!Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-57400151738687381052012-10-24T20:52:00.000-03:002012-10-24T20:52:40.182-03:00The plastering is done!Although the guys showed up by mid-afternoon, yesterday, I decided to wait until tonight to do a blog post. Yesterday was mostly preparing for the major plaster work, but a start was made on the "Trash Condo" plastering, as well.<br />
<br />
Today was an absolutely Bermudaful day and a great way to end the wall building project. Everyone showed up bright and early, this morning, and quickly got to work.<br />
<br />
These next few pictures were from yesterday:<br />

Tomorrow morning, the tools and equipment will be collected and the yard will be cleared up. Once again, we are really pleased with the work done by Sea Link Construction and will always recommend them highly to others.<br />

The wall and the "Trash Condo" look great. The next step is to plaster the newly-laid block and then it can all be primed and painted.<br />
<br />
These last pictures provide a look at the completed project from a couple of different angles.<br />

I'm hoping the guys can return tomorrow and get the plastering done. Apparently, there's yet another storm system that has just formed and may come our way over the next few days. So, it would be nice to have everything done before that happens. Stay tuned!Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-31087553592995920112012-10-20T18:32:00.001-03:002012-10-20T18:32:22.805-03:00The Great Wall of Second AvenueIt was a very productive day and, by the end of the afternoon, the "Trash Condo" area had been widened and the main wall construction was completed.<br />
<br />
It was agreed that the "Trash Condo" area looked too small and we decided to expand it by an extra two feet. Luckily, we discovered it right away and it wasn't a major problem to correct it.<br />
<br />
Before I add the following pictures, just remember we have 2 Tony's working here now. See if you can follow along and not get lost - there might be a test at the end of this blog entry!<br />

The rest of the day was spent building up the wall height and filling all open block cells with a loose mixture of concrete. The new wall will be very solid and should last at least another hundred years!<br />

At the moment, the plan is for the three guys to return on Monday to continue building the "Trash Condo" and add an additional row of block to the smaller wall on the opposite side. Once all of this is done, the new walls just need to be plastered and the construction work will be completed.Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-50108649131340934952012-10-20T11:08:00.001-03:002012-10-20T11:08:48.139-03:00The wall is coming along nicelyI didn't get to post the events from yesterday (Friday), so am getting it done this morning, before any more work gets done today. The guys are over at another project, but the plan is for them to come over in the afternoon and continue the work. The weather is supposed to start getting cloudy and wet as the afternoon goes by, so I hope it will work out okay.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, the guys managed to build the wall up above the front yard level, as well as start work on the "Trash Condo" area. The building went fairly quickly and more block had to be delivered to keep up with the progress.<br />

The familiar sound of the concrete mixer soon began and it was just like old times! I had to get up on the roof to patch up a crack that became evident during the night Hurricane Rafael passed by, but I managed to get several pictures of the progress during the afternoon.<br />

As you can see, the wall runs along a slope on the Avenue, which meant the guys had to stop and take several measurements to ensure the wall will be strong and, of course, level. Building will continue throughout the day, tomorrow, and I'm sure this section of the wall will be finished and ready for plastering by the end of the afternoon.Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-18130080384963504672012-10-16T13:14:00.001-03:002012-10-16T13:18:25.663-03:00Preparations before Rafael gets here!The guys all showed up just after 7am, but had to hang out on the front porch because of the rain. Luckily, the rain didn't last too long and they were able to get a start on the morning preparations.<br />
<br />
Hurricane Rafael is supposed to pass by the island, around 105 nautical miles to the east-southeast, by 8pm tonight, so the guys wanted to at least get some building materials over here and have the trench dug for the concrete footing during the morning.<br />

I added this last picture to show where the "trash condo" will be built. No one usually uses these steps to get to the house, so it made sense to build the "trash condo" there and not take up any space from the parking area.<br />
<br />
The guys will return on Thursday morning. By then, the weather will be much nicer and they should be able to have the wall and the initial structure for the "trash condo" built by the end of the day.Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-45525885071099212192012-10-15T22:08:00.000-03:002012-10-15T22:08:30.905-03:00They're baaaaack!I knew the guys couldn't stay away forever and they finally made it back to their favorite renovation place this morning! This final stage of the project is to replace the main wall at the front of the house and also build what I call a "trash condo." The Planning Department says a proper concrete structure must be built to house the trash for collection, once you have at least 3 individual accommodation units on the property.<br />
<br />
Johnny was the only person to work throughout the day and his task was to remove the wall. He had to use a Bobcat, an Excavator and a dump truck to get the job done. And, as always, he was able to get this first step completed by the end of the afternoon.<br />

<br />
The various building supplies should be delivered tomorrow and the concrete footing for the wall will most likely be put in place. Unfortunately, we're expecting some tropical storm force winds to arrive by the end of the day, which will delay things for a short time. Hopefully, Rafael will pass by quickly and the project can be completed within a couple of days.Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-77258732339716443912012-08-19T13:59:00.002-03:002012-08-19T14:03:24.711-03:00The House Gets a Facelift!I last posted to the blog at the end of June, but decided to update everyone with what's been going on around here for the past month. The roof got a couple of new coats of paint and the outside walls of the house have begun to be painted.<br />
<br />
The coat of primer paint has been applied to the main walls and the final coat has been started. Unfortunately, the weather has been wet for the past several days and painting has had to be stopped until things clear up again.<br />
<br />
Also, a security railing was placed around the higher ends of the new patio, this past week, and should help to keep me from falling off as I go up there to take my weather picture each day!<br />

I'll post again when the house is completely painted and there will be another post or two because we need to fix a boundary wall and also build a structure to place the weekly trash in. I was hoping the kids could have moved in sooner, but the final details at the end of a building project seem to take the longest to get done.<br />

Lots of nice comments along the way and most of you were interested to get a first-hand look at how Bermuda houses and roofs are constructed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The outside work and major building/renovation has been completed, leaving a bit of plumbing, painting and electrical work to be finished. Jason and Tina should be moved into the new apartment by the middle of July and, hopefully, will have lots of happy years enjoying their new home.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Sea Link guys have been working elsewhere, but a couple of them have shown up to do some finishing work over the past few days. We'll miss having them here, but hope to have them back sometime in the future to fix a large wall that needs attention.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The remaining task for them was to put down some gravel in the parking area and this has now been done. I was a bit concerned about walking and driving on gravel, but it's starting to become more compacted as we drive over it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few people have told me how much they've enjoyed this blog and asked me to continue blogging. This blog may have a couple more updates if we're able to get the roof and house painted, as well as getting the wall along the front of the property repaired. But, if I can find something else interesting to blog about, I'll give it a shot.</span><br />

Each of the cells in the wall block was partially filled with fairly large rocks, then loose concrete was poured into the cells.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Strong wire mesh was cut and placed on the ramp, with boards secured at the top and bottom sections. The rain was on its way soon and it didn't make sense to do too much more.</span><br />

Chris and Tony worked on plastering the parking area walls, while Johnny and Ryan spread out soil at the back of the driveway. The driveway is going to be transformed into a yard for Jason and Tina, so we'll end up just having a parking area out front when the project is completed.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little while later, Barbara and Kari brought down a "Thank You" cake to present to the guys, since everyone was here at that time. We have really appreciated all the work that Sea Link has done for us and wanted to reward them with a special treat. This renovation project is coming to an end within the next few days and we'll really miss having the guys around here. Each of them has worked very hard the entire time and the quality of their work speaks for itself.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weather hasn't been too kind this week, but as you can see, the guys still managed to get a lot of things done anyway. I wasn't at home when they left today, so don't know when they'll return. But, I don't think anyone will see them until at least Monday, particularly after they polish off that cake tonight!</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-11307138045851214322012-06-06T18:34:00.001-03:002012-06-06T18:40:34.581-03:00An afternoon of progress<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a cloudy and windy day, but at least there was no rain to keep some work from getting done in the afternoon. Johnny was the only person here during that time and managed to finish off a few more tasks.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His goal was to build up the parking level a bit more, reduce the incline of the ramp and clear up the driveway area along the side of the house. All was accomplished!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each of the Sea Link workers are able to do many different tasks and are able to work on their own, when required. And, they are all happy to do whatever is needed, without complaint. If anyone reading this blog ever needs a reputable construction company to work on almost any project, I highly recommend you use Sea Link - you will NOT be disappointed!</span><br />

Thankfully, the wet stuff held off for most of the morning, but it got really nasty in the early afternoon and the work eventually had to be stopped. The good news is that the entire wall was able to be completed before they left.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next week, a wall will be built around the entire parking area, including alongside the avenue again. Also, we've decided to keep the ramp leading up to the front yard for easy access with the car, when necessary. Johnny just needs to do some work on the ramp, so it won't be as steep as it is right now. Initially, we were going to put stairs there, but the ramp will come in handy, especially when I need to load my band instruments in and out of the car.</span><br />

However, they should be back tomorrow and I'll update the blog after that.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime, the tiler and the electrician have continued to move ahead with their tasks. The tiler is on the final room, so will be done either today or tomorrow. Troy (electrician) will be here for awhile longer, running wires and hooking things up. He probably has about 2 weeks of work left to do, mainly because he can only be here at night and on Sundays. We've still got to finish a couple of things in my area before he goes, as well.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This blog will soon be finished and I'm not sure what all of you will then do with your lives. Maybe I can think of something else to blog about and keep you people out of trouble! Got any ideas?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be sure to check back at some point over the weekend. Until then, have a Bermudaful day.</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-32782862055573610192012-05-26T19:09:00.001-03:002012-05-26T19:15:52.176-03:00Weekend Post<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thought I'd wait until today to post and cover two days at once, since this was the first Saturday the guys have had a chance to work here for awhile.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday, the main focus was to dig a trench along the entire length of the driveway and across the front parking area to run the main water pipes to the pit. By the end of the day, the trench was dug and all pipes were put in place.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the past few days, the tiler has been here and the rooms are quickly being completed. The painter and electrician have also been working in the evenings, so a couple more weeks and the kids should be ready to move in.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be sure to check back on Monday for a further update!</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-23965716911903875772012-05-24T15:34:00.000-03:002012-05-24T15:34:11.992-03:003 Weeks of Stuff!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had all sorts of email, asking for new posts to the blog. Sorry it's taken so long, but I'll catch you up today. It's May 24th, Bermuda Day, so only the tiler is working today - so far. The painter and electrician may show up at some point, but we'll see.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The major renovations are just about finished and the contractor wanted to be out of here by the end of this week. However, I think a couple of the guys will still be around for part of next week, finishing up some of the little things.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I didn't post to the blog, I continued taking pictures of the daily activity and will share most of them today. After this, the only other major construction will be when the guys channel out the driveway and install water pipes, which will be attached to the pit in the front yard.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this point, all of the new doors and windows have been installed. The initial plan was to put a French door on the wall along the current driveway, but it was decided to put it at the front of the house instead. This meant the outside access to the water tank had to be chopped down and the tank top cover now resides on top of a new outside step.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The inside walls of my previous office were chopped out and steel beams had to be inserted to take the load of the upstairs structure. This resulted in a larger area for the new living room and an open plan to the new kitchen from there.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, here come the pictures. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's exactly what Chris and Tony did - plastered the outside kitchen wall, as well as the master bathroom and closet ceilings. They also plastered one section of an inside kitchen wall, where one of the garage windows used to be.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I managed to sort out a few boxes and get rid of more things that I just can't store anymore. For some reason, we have a whole lot of extra bathroom tile and, after loading the tile into boxes, I brought them over here and stored them on the shelves under the stairs. They weigh a ton!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning, the plan is to plaster the inside walls in the kitchen, master bathroom and closet.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday (Monday), all 4 guys were here in the morning, but only Chris and Tony stayed the entire day. More patching up of the walls was done in the morning, then Chris and Tony plastered the side and front walls of the master bedroom.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before long, the inside walls of the room where I was previously located will be cut out to allow access to the kitchen and also make the new living room much bigger.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I carried over a few more things to the new rooms, but had to stop again to try and sort some of the boxes out to make even more room. One box with papers from my radio desk had all sorts of old papers in it, including receipts from the first ham radio I bought in 1975. So, I was able to throw a lot of it out and condense it by more than half. The only way I'm going to keep both rooms neat will be to throw away a lot more stuff that I don't need. Of course, the only reason I have all this stuff is because I need it.... right?</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-39556662106146947212012-04-29T12:24:00.001-03:002018-07-20T12:27:23.144-03:00Another step closer<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This post is a combination of Friday and Saturday activities.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Friday was relatively quiet, with just Chris and Tony here for the day. They removed the frame work for the various lintels, built and filled the previous day, and installed window frames for the kitchen and master bedroom.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I continued to move a few more things over to the new rooms, but decided to try and organize some of the stuff I had already taken over in order to make more space available.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Saturday was supposed to be quiet around here, but it wasn't long before I heard the sound of the Bobcat in the yard. I went outside to find Johnny moving the large cement mixer from the back of the driveway to the front parking area. When I finally realized the guys were here to actually work for awhile, I went in to get the camera and snap some shots of the action.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The plan was to sort out the back yard, which meant Johnny needed to fill in the empty space along the outside of the master bedroom and build a new pathway. It was interesting to see how he did it, starting from the back of the driveway and up to the back yard, filling in the empty space and building the pathway as he went along.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While this work was going on outside, Tony was busy plastering around the window and door frames in the kitchen and master bedroom/bathroom areas. The guys finished up shortly after 1pm, then I went back downstairs to play with all the boxes in the office. When the phone rang upstairs and I had to run up the steps to answer it, I knew I needed to install the phone system in the office immediately, so that's what I did. I cut and joined various wires together and, luckily, it worked the first time!</span><br />

With a little luck, however, I should be finished that task tomorrow and then focus on where to put it all.

Chris, Tony and Ryan worked on the walls of the master bedroom and kitchen, and Johnny did some more plumbing work, then came over to my side of the house to caulk the outside door and windows in the stairway. Some temporary staging had to be set up to get access to the upper windows again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The guys had just gotten another section of the staging set up, when they heard me grunting as I carried a table down the outside steps. Just as I got to the bottom of the steps, Chris came running down and asked me what I thought I was doing, then grabbed the table from me. Well, at least I was able to carry it from the den, around the front yard and down the steps before I got a lecture!</span><br />

At least the guys should be too busy to see what I'm lifting and there should be no lectures coming my way - unless Kari happens to catch me!</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-58225763013959734422012-04-24T21:07:00.000-03:002018-07-20T12:19:07.945-03:00Officially in the office<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that I'm sitting at my desk, with the computers hooked back up and the Internet still working, I guess I'm finally in the new office. But, with all the boxes piled up in both rooms, it's like I never left the previous room!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I still have more stuff to move over and I have no idea where the rest can go. My family will say it needs to go to the dump, but that ain't happening! As soon as the other stuff is removed completely, I'll just have to focus on finding a suitable place for everything and get these two rooms back to looking nice again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, I was reminded just how heavy the Mac and the Dell computers really are. And, it took many trips back and forth to get all the electronic equipment into the office. But, it's all set up and working. I even got the Internet back online very easily, along with the wireless signal being generated upstairs as before. The only problem is that I have a mile of cable on the floor and will have to wait until it can be cut and fitted with new connectors. Then, I have to create a couple of junction boxes and run the cables to other points in the house upstairs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's time to close up shop down here and head upstairs for the night. Tomorrow will be yet another busy day for me, continuing the moving process. I should have had the guys build me a warehouse to store all this junk!</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667486711338074385.post-76563053417347611572012-04-24T08:55:00.000-03:002012-04-24T08:55:01.201-03:00Still online - for now!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I got my main computer desk moved over to the new office, by last evening, I'm still online from here in the den, this morning. I set up the computer and modems on a couple of small tables with the basics for now, but will be taking the the equipment over to the office today. Hopefully, I'll get hooked back up to the Internet sometime today, but will have to wait and see what happens.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was really noisy around here, all day yesterday, with the guys cutting out walls for the electrical installations. Also, both bathrooms had to have the walls channeled out to install the tub and shower manifolds.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A load of block was moved into the kitchen area in order to build the bathroom walls, which were completed by the end of the afternoon.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Johnny, the "Master Plumber," built the manifold units, cut the walls grooves and did the installations. There was too much dust flying around at the time, so I couldn't take any pictures of the process as it happened.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my part, I spent the day taking all my computer and editing equipment apart. I've got 3 pages of large notebook paper, listing where all the wiring has to go when I put it all back together in the new office, today. Sure hope I get it right!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The guys are working at the new hospital project today, so it should be quiet around here as I continue moving the rest of the items from this room. Then, I need to unpack the boxes and find a place for everything because there still MORE stuff to be moved over from the hallway on the other side of this room. If I get an Internet connection in the new office today, I'll blog later. If not, I'll be back when I can.</span>Bermuda Glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07554122501701652269noreply@blogger.com0
