                    Well
                        now, 
                     
                     
                    We
still
                              can’t shake the cold and rain. Here we are past
                              mid June and
                              it’s still like mid March out there. The snowpack
                              in the mountains
                              remains at almost double what it would normally be
                              in late winter and
                              the southern interior is experiencing major
                              flooding. I’m tired of
                              rain and cold. Everyone is tired of it. My
                              blueberries should be
                              starting to ripen but they are still in the
                              blossom stage. Wow. 
                     
                     
                    ‘The
Wife’
                              had wanted some relatively big renovations done to
                              our house.
                              And so, thats what is happening. We are in the
                              middle of the 2nd
                              phase at the moment. The 1st
                              phase was the front hall and laundry room and
                              consisted of having the
                              old floor ripped out and replaced with new modern
                              tile, as well as
                              the water heater replaced and then the rooms
                              painted. Now, the second
                              phase consists of the main floor bathroom being
                              gutted, a tile floor
                              put in with under floor heating, paint, and so on.
                              The vanity top
                              will be replaced at some point in the future. 3rd
                              phase will be the top floor bathroom which will be
                              totally gutted,
                              re-designed with a tile and glass shower and in
                              floor heat. That will
                              be in a moth from now I think. As for now, we live
                              in a construction
                              zone with the house in total disarray. And it’s
                              too cold to do
                              anything outside. Heck, it’s too cold inside as
                              the doors are
                              constantly open for ventilation and worker access. 
                     
                     
                    I’d
just
                        as soon left every thing as it was, functional and
                        comfortable.
                        But, she wants this stuff done regardless of the cost
                        and it will
                        indeed cost a lot. I guess having a lot of updates done
                        will be a
                        good thing in the long run, just a pain in the butt now.
