Kitchen Remodel

Well crap.

I got a call from our cabinet guy that said our cabinets were ready so I started tearing out our old ones this Saturday. Pulling the cabinets down went fine it was that dang soffit (sp?). To start the soffit was framed in with 2x4's like expected but they put plywood on top of that before adding the sheetrock. That made everything harder. Then, once I got the first piece removed I take a look in there and see tons of wires and HVAC. Crap, Crap, Crap.

That's just on the first wall. So what's behind wall number 2...Plumbing!!!

Luckily that is just an exhaust line. Really, none of this is a huge deal. It's just going to slow us down and cost us a couple extra hundred dollars.

OH, don't forget to notice the totally safe wiring job where our vent hood was.

So without further delay, here is some pictures of our kitchen and our progress.

Gigawatt Media

Well, I did get a job designing and installing audio visual stuff for Macy's. It's pretty much done already but I had fun doing it. There was some troubleshooting to do at the end but it went pretty well overall. I also made a website for it at www.gigawattmedia.com
I'm not sure how much more work I will get but hopefully I can get some more because I really enjoyed it.

Some Pictures

I just thought I would add some pictures to the blog.  I don't have any really new pictures of either Jess or myself but we have lots of the dogs.

Enjoy.

This first one is of Jessica playing on the swing set at the horseback riding place in Gatlinburg. As you can see, swinging is lots of fun.

This here is just a picture of a flower I took. I like taking pictures.

And these are our boys, Parker Dude and Rowdy. Parker is the one showing you how long his tongue is.

Christmas list

For those of you who have been asking, here is a link to our Christmas list, which is more like a wish list so don't freak out when you see some crazy stuff on there.
The LIST
We are going to keep it up to date as possible so feel free to come back often.

Thanks

First Post...

Well, I figured everyone else is writing one so I might as well do one too.  Well, I don't know what all is going to be in this blog but I have a feeling that it will have a lot to do with our boys, Parker and Rowdy.

I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Warner Robins waiting on tomorrow to get here.  I am doing some work down here and hopefully will get everything knocked out before I have to leave.  

I also started a company the other day called Gigawatt Media.  It is going to be centered around designing media spaces like conference rooms and home theaters.  Hopefully this will create a little extra income and fullfill my desire to run my own business.  

I have also contacted a local charity group about teaching a finance/budgeting class.  I think it will be a good way to see if I enjoy teaching this stuff as much as I think I would.  

Then there is www.thesermonscribe.com.  I haven't had much time in a while to put much effort into this.  I did a bunch of work for it and then was asked to take it down by the author.  It kind of ticked me off but I'll be alright.

Oh, and I have also been looking for some online teaching jobs so if you know of anything, let me know.
