Time of Reflection and Random

One year ago today I closed on my first home. Since I have been doing a lot of work on it, I think I will review what I have all done over this past year.

-painted several rooms from sin stained white to pretty and soothing
-completely remodeled bathroom
-tore down old ugly chimeny and patched the roof
-replaced a couple windows and front door
-new siding and painted siding (added 1 inch foamboard insulation to old part of house)
-painted trim
-insulation added to attic
-evicted squirrel
-cleaned up squirrel mess (removed chewed wires, tore off basement ceiling and swept up pine cones and nuts stored within, ripped up sub-floor only to realize I need to tear out the basement ceiling, replaced sub-floor, many air freshner absorbers to remove stinky little pest piss smell)
-tore out secondary furnace (only to realize I will put it back because plans changed on layout)
-removed overgrown bushes, trimmed trees, and cast them into the fires of sheol
-installed stone surround gas fireplace (beautiful)
-began wiring new addition (to be completed August/September-October)
-ordered cabinets for kitchen remodel (to be installed July/August)
-began knocking out kitchen wall (to be demoed late June/early July)

I would say I have accomplished a lot this last year, but so much more needs to be done. Here is a small list of the big projects to be done in the future:

-kitchen (late summer)
-complete wiring (hopefully by October)
-new floor in new addition (possibly September, may wait until November with less humidity for hardwood floors)
-patio (September/October or May/June 2011)
-deck (May/June 2011)
-expand master bedroom (November/December)
-install secondary furnace and ductwork (September)
-basement new addition (winter)
-basement old part (fall-winter 2011)
-decorate and furnish (fall 2010-winter 2011 and beyond)
-enjoy all work accomplished (winter 2011-sale date TBD [interested?])

Good thing I enjoy being task focused otherwise I would be really stressed with all of the work I need to do on the house, planning the wedding, and preparing for my future life with an amazing woman. Hahaha, I am fine, no stress, hmmmhmmm, oh man....ok, I am fine now. Life is good, God is great, and people are crazy. Enough said. I don't really like country even though I referrenced a country song.

Random thought of the day: I don't like the name of my blog because it is too descriptive and not very fun. I think it is pretty common to not like the name of your blog unless of coarse it is super creative like "Z" or "Zz" or "Megatron destroy" or ":)" not sure if you can do the last one. Blog names are also good if they are all encompassing while not being too descriptive such as "updates from planet earth" or "The everything blog" or "Z" or "Zz" Can I change the name of my blog without destroying it? Hmmm...I will check.

One Love,
