So it has been a long time.....over 2 months. But what can I say, the military is very good and controlling what you see and hear. My computer acsess has been hevily regulated , and filtered this summer. I did manage to take a week off and work on the basement, so if any one is still checking this site out, here are the pics
this is the cleaned out basement, I cleared it out 2 months befor I left town
The tools of the trade
Day 1 - I woke up hung over. Jason made a trade mark aperance and left his calling card. at one point in time my dad left to get sone screws and on his return I was passed out in a pile of army gear.
Day 2- the outside walls were finished the night befor, we then began erecting the inside walls. We didnt really have a plan, we just knew one thing - this was the walls home, it knew where it was going...we just had to guide it there.
No explanation needed, this is simply the result of master carpenters at work
day 3 - the electrical is in...kinda. this is a great shot of Joe (the home less guy with the "will work for food sign, that stands out side of super pet) trying to stay ahead of me as I insulate.
Ok, Jon...relax! Yes this is what you think it is but calm down. I ran internet, cable, and telephone in to every room in the house (except the bathroom and kitchen....I may still run internet to the bathroom...you never know). I figured it would be a great way to boost resale value. Now look at the 6 plug panel....are you looking? ok so this is the deal. Its in the closet of the office. the main internet in is below it, we plug the main into the modem and then the modem feeds to a router. We then pluge the cable fron the router into the panel and each room gets (or doesnt) internet !! amazing, I love it. This was my pride and joy, I spent all the down time I had fiddeling with network cables, and figuring out the phone lines, but it was worth it. Jon, you can still run wireless, that way I dont have to put a jack in the bathroom
and finally, this is our huge pile of crap. I have moved it out to the shed, because 39 sheets of F'n dry wall are coming in the morning.
More pictures will come, and after I get back from censorship central.... there will be more blogs
so the formatting is a little screwed up...give me a brake, HTML code was never on of my strong points.
