For the first time, I do not have to crawl though a window to get into my new bedroom.

I passed my electrical inspection and framing inspection last week. My brother-in-law came over that night and powered up the addition so no more extension cords to get work done. Yesterday I had a Cab-over spray closed cell insulation.

According to my kids it looks like vanilla ice cream.

Thursday I have a boom truck delivering 32 sheets of sheetrock through the large window (second floor) and another 10 for the first floor ceiling. I'm giving myself the month of September to get it all installed

We got hit with a monster storm last Tuesday. ( https://opposite-lock.com/topic/27315/anxiety-level-chernobyl) i was extra nervous as i'm (still) building my addition. I tried uploading some photos a couple days ago but i guess it didn;t work. The lack of internet has been frustrating, along with lack of power. I'm back in the office today and finally have internet access. I'm still waiting for the internet wires to be re-strung to my house. We ended up with stronger than expected winds with gusts around 80 mph. Around 4am tuesday there were some loud noises on top of the tarp smashing around. My daughter started screaming about a tree.

that sucker is about 3' across.

as it came down, it took out the top half of the telephone pole leaving us disconnected from the grid until around 8pm sunday night. A neighbor gave us a spare generator so we could keep the heat and fridge going. I'm going to have some cleanup to do.


the house made it though somehow without losing the in-progress roof. Even the tarp stayed attached. I'm very grateful for that. I dont know how it stayed. With the partially completed status and the high winds it should have all taken flight.

Last night I nailed in the last 2x4. This is a project I started a depressingly long time ago. I also had the roofing installed yesterday.








up next is building wrap then some plumbing and electrical so i can get insulated. On the second floor, the existing window is still in place to keep the heat inside the house. On the lower floor, there is only a doorway between the main portion of the house and the family room. and heat in the family room goes right up through the floor to the new bedroom. It gets cold over there so I've been hanging a blanket over the family room doorway to keep the main house warm.

the school called back. There person who reviewed the video was quite appalled with what they saw. The bus was able to catch the event on camera but not the license plate. We do not have the plate number, however we do know the home address. they were happy to take that and said an officer will be making a visit.

talking to a client and inevitably he mentioned his garage so I was obligated to ask what was in it. Not disappointed.

after dumping $2500 into trying to fix an oil leak, it still leaks oil
it is also having transmission trouble
it needs new brakes
there was another thing too but i for get, he also just did an air shock a couple months ago.
no i will not be buying it. i know what hes got.

I had to bring the fleet over to the new garage

@ForSweden 150k would be the F22/F35. 200k would be the B-2. 250k would be those tictac things

@CarsOfFortLangley I think Germany has said they will be delivered in March. I'm guessing some of the planning has been in place for a lot longer than we know

I think Canada and France have discussed adding to the list.

i watch a lot of his stuff. the stupidity of some of the people he has to rescue is amazing.

Can they get Daft Punk back together for the sound track?

I'll look it up if I'm outside at night. Over the summer, we saw it, and the sky was so dark we were able to see a lot of other items zooming by overhead. I couldn't believe how much was up there. At any given time we could see something overhead. The kids sat out there for over an hour (pretty crazy to have them sit still for 5 minutes) just watching the sky.

despite it lacking airshocks, I'll take the Audi. Also, I think a big thing you missed to point out is that the Audi may be a little down on HP, but it has like 130 more torque.

@Marco-S what the hell is Lynk & Co !?!?
