This summer we took another trip to the water park. We had lots of fun now that our son is a little bit older. Its nice to be all to sit down for a while and just watch him play on the different children's rides. While we were there my husband went to the ice cream stand and bought me a real French vanilla root beer float. I can't believe something so delicious and I've never had it in my life.
RFID blocking
Its hard to believe how many gadgets the criminals have these days to try to steal your identity to steal your money. As my husband says he's good at his job as a carpenter and thieves are good at their jobs for coming up with new ideas to steal your accounts. I'm always wondering when doing my bill pay online that someone is going to access my account. Just going to the local grocery store I feel more confident with my rfid blocking. Now if they would only use a finger print scan when I slide my credit card through the machine would be nice.
Chimney inspection
Thank goodness for the chimney inspection code. My mother had bought an older modular home and it had a corner fireplace in it. Before she got her certificate of occupancy one of the things was the chimney inspection that had to be done. Come to find out the hidden chimney in the wall was in bad shape and its a good thing we didn't start a wood stove in it. There would have been a fire.
Carpet flooring
Thursday, September 13, 2012
Years ago we bought an old Victorian house to live in temporarily until we renovated it and sold it. We had our location for our new house picked out we just needed a better down payment. So on our spare time we took on the renovations of the Victorian. Listening to my dad's wisdom we started with the roof which originally was slate. We converted it to a nice gray metal roof. The custom cedar shake shingle siding as it met the roof look so terrific.
Luckily for us most of the interior of the house needed only minor repair. The kitchen was beautiful antique looking cabinets but they were worn out. We ended up replacing them with basically the same style but of course new. The counter tops we replaced with black counters with gold fleck in them. I can remember the long list of things left to do they were only little things but they took three days. At this time we were so tired with all of it. We ended up taking estimates on the carpet flooring with the help of the site we found at http://www.pilotflooringamerica.com/carpet-flooring. After two days of cleaning we called the real state agent. All of our hard work paid off as we sold this beautiful Victorian for a 70k profit.
Tough hours
My husband is going through a tough time with adjusting to his new work. He went from days and now he is going to nights. Trying to change your body's internal clock is very hard. He will only be three weeks at doing this and then he has to change back to days.
Cigar humidor
Wednesday, September 12, 2012
One of my friends at works wife just gave birth to a baby girl. He is a younger guy and and seems like the old cigar tradition was never explained to him. So I got a few friends together at work and we all pitched in for a cigar humidor filled with vanilla flavoured pink ribbon wrap cigars. At first he was stunned as we all pressured him to go outdoors to light up to celebrate the occasion.
Gold fish
Years ago we won two gold fist at the field days shooting ping pong balls into the little fish balls. Seemed too easy back then. We put these two little fish in a 32 gallon aquarium and now they're monsters. Each one of them measuring over 10 inches long and they must be five or six years old. Now its time for either a big aquarium or give them to somebody that has gold fish ponds.
