    Bravo for teaching the kiddo, double win since dad can work faster :) If your whole house wired that way does that mean it needs to be rewired? Sorry you found out the hard way, hope your ok.

    Congrats and best of luck to you Horkn. I was in a similar situation years ago working in Philly, although I took a pay cut I actually ended up taking more money home in my pocket because I had much much less of a commute, no tolls, no parking fees, no city wage tax and probably the biggest money saver was I pay a fraction for healthcare I paid at my prior employer for my family. Also the quality of life at this job is a hands down no brainer, more vaca, more sick time, more holidays off, summer hours, etc....

    That is crazy. Around these parts that is no problem. People do stare though if you happen to stop when you are wearing a suit and tie.

    Seems several areas are having typical August weather lately. Tis okay with me. Our good news is that 70's are predicted for our highs for the next week. Better than 80's or 90's.

    Back in January I had some shots in my neck. They usually work good but last winter it did not have much effect. Today I had some more so hoping for better luck. Have to take it easy for 2 days. Lots of work to do but it will wait.

    I got to start a thread.. But the house is "icky" sheet rock dust everywhere.. ;) my typing on phone leads to grammar and typos.

    Yup not 1 floor unwrecked!! I tried to keep it so girls had untouched levels.. But plumbing and electrical demanded it be fixed.. Before new rock..

    Wife required girls room done before they return Saturday.. 0726181714a.jpg

    The closet I started 3 years ago .. Why the wife loves me I will never know.
