Waiting on the call from the owner of the Ford dealership, he called last night saying our Bronco came in. Todays call will 100% confirm. Wife is pumped

Awesome!!  Looking forward to some pictures.

Looks like what the new LR Defender should look like, rather than the monstrosity it is.

Agreed that LR missed the mark on the 90 and the 110. They’re nice (buddy’s MIL has one) but not for that price tag

Sorry, I meant "Land Rover".  I'm dyslexic.

Yes, looks like the old style Defender.

@Ozzie_Isaac. Could you not go up into the ceiling/attic with one of those retractable drop down space saver platform lifts? Don’t give up on adding more kitchen appliances 😂

Booking a trip for work. To New York. In the Middle of Winter. What the hell am I thinking.

@TEXASBGE2018 - I recall  (depending on where in the state) NYS fared much better than Texas last winter regarding hammered by cold weather.
But YMMV will vary in 2022.  Enjoy wherever you end up in the state.

Personally, I always just thought these contraptions were a front for the BDSM community. Nice try, Fleximounts. Nice try.

Day four of Cast Iron pipe removal. After the long weekend 4 guys with buckets and two wheel barrows and a whole lot of bags of concrete mix showed up at 4:00 pm. Going to do some before and after shots to make understanding what happened simpler, I hope. The concrete work was done in a little over one hour.

Carpet protection:
All gone. I didn't show all the pictures of the carpet protection. The area of the bedroom had a large cardboard box that held a whole house generator my egging neighbor kept for me after he upgraded his old one. Rolled up sections the paper individually to keep sugar sand in the paper and placed in trash for pickup on Saturday. 

The cardboard was cut in strips narrow enough to go between deck framing and underneath the vinyl decking in the spa area. Keeps the weeds from coming up between the planks. 

Thorough vacuuming in all the carpet areas. I am beat. Still dealing with dust on all surfaces but it is just nice to have the worst of the disruption over. Think the city inspector will be making a visit tomorrow or Friday, Then the tile guy can come in. Those pictures will be later.

@SamIAm2

That must be more satisfying than words can describe. Congrats on having the finish line within your sights. Here’s to resuming normal life - or at least as “normal” as things can be deemed in the pandemic. 

Edit: Whenever you tire or vacuuming, just think of me - I do it daily and have no active construction projects. 😉

pretty sure up here the inspector would make us pull out the rest of the shower floor and more for a multi layer shower pan install. maybe more to avoid freezing under the shower if there were a small leak down the road. that would have been another 5 or so grand

I see the tickets on Tuesday but I believe there were 15 or 20 of those loads..

about half enough timber to offset the cost to Stump, rake, grade, and seed with Bermuda hay..

Barn to start hopefully in 3 months to move in by Thanksgiving, the house to be built next year..trying to wait on some prices to dip before building..

the barn will be built as a Barndo...

We want to keep an eye on things while we build the house, as some people will steal a box of screws nowadays..

You building a barn or a shed? If it’s a shed, you sir are building a shouse.

I really dig Barndomindiums.  If I were starting over I would seriously consider that as the permanent solution.  We have an NFL player near me who built an epic one as a house/winter workout facility.  His dad owns a company back east that builds them, so he brought his crew out to AZ and built an enormous one.  It was a pretty big fight with the town and neighbors due to zoning, style, size, etc.

Didn't all of this "imaginary" stuff start when you posted a picture of a newly-built house without any comment or context in the "what are you buying now" thread?  I'm not sure I'd keep reminding people of that, but then I do live under a bridge so what do I know.

Very cool way to celebrate with your son.  Good luck on the hunt and at the DMV.

As satisfied as he was looking I figured that he had the treat thief taken care of and buried in a pile of kitty litter.

You should get him a Starkink dish.  Apparently they are the preferred bed for cats

I heard.  I suspect there's a heater built in as they probably wouldn't work very well filled with snow and ice
