New Terrain Opportunities
There’s a mountain outside of Jim Thorpe whose top is criss crossed by many many dirt roads. Dirt roads where Abigail and Lauren could safely ride their dirt bikes all day. The problem is getting to the top. All car accessible entries are gated except one. That one is a rocky climb up the mountain. […]
No Mono
Blood results are back. I don’t have Mono. If nothing else, the steroids are working. I feel significantly better. Not going anywhere this week and next doesn’t hurt either. – b
Progress Stalled
The week started off with a lot of good progress. Our main bathroom has a tiled floor, new toilet and new vanity. The new bathroom in the basement has been plumbed in with the grinder pump and a shower stall. Can’t wait for all this to be functional. The problem with all this are the […]
So…
Went back to Boston this week. Still sick. Felt sicker at one point. Came home. Went back to the Dr. After a long explanation of my health history over the last 6 months, this is where we landed. Blood tests for Mono – determine if I had it or if I have it. Another course […]
More Progress
Main bathroom floor tiled. Starting cutting the downstairs floor for bathroom plumbing. And installed a drywall ceiling throughout. – b
No ADK Back Country Trip
If you didn’t notice, I’m missing the ADK trip this year. My trip. I’ve missed all opportunities for winter fun this year. It sucks. – b
Sick Still
My cold got worse again while I was away this week. Jen, whose been sick now for a week or two, went to the Dr. only to find out she has/had Mono. We think it originated with the kids. They each had symptoms, but it hardly slowed them down. I went to get tested and […]
Still Busy
We continued to work all weekend to get things ready. Removing the ceiling wasn’t difficult, but there was a lot of ceiling. The biggest concern in going from drop ceiling to drywall was any electrical that would have to be reworked because it had taken advantage of the extra space for the drop. Fortunately there’s […]
Abigail Turns 6 Forever!
I told Abigail she wasn’t turning 8 this year, but instead staying 6 forever. She wasn’t a fan of that. She’s way more interested in growing up, learning to drive, going to college and leaving home, though I am not. Oh well. A dad can dream. – b
Progress Progress
The contractor has started making progress. They got the new siding up on the front of the house while the weather was good. I think it looks really sharp. Makes me wonder why we didn’t do it sooner. Then they moved inside and started doing some prep work with lights downstairs and the master bath […]
