It's the end of week one for our bathroom remodel job. I've been home more than usual as I've tried to be here while our carpenter is here although I probably didn't need to be. It's a new category of time killing since there's really no privacy as he has to pass through all my lounging areas. I feel like a doofus watching TV - even if it's serious TV - while he's breaking his back getting our bathroom done. I've offered to help every day but he says "that's what you're paying me to do".. I like the sound of that. Overall he's a really good guy and I don't mind having him on site.. With his labor and our "designer's" vision I think this will come out very nice - and then we can move (taaaaa daaaaaaa)...
Speaking of moving I see on today's national weather report that the Southeastern states are getting hit hard with a winter storm. So the two places we've been considering relocating to - Roanoke, VA and Charlotte, NC - are getting a bunch of snow and ice. So much for the frequent cheery weather updates we get from our friends and family down there - "It's 60 degrees and we're wearing shorts!!!" "Don't bring your snow blower down here."
No worse place for this kind of winter crap than the south - they're just not used to it. Folks in Minnesota treat such weather like a sun shower. I remember my first winter in Arkansas. It snowed and I drove off to school and there was almost nobody on the road fighting through the 2-inch killer blizzard. I think they canceled classes that day. I can remember growing up on Long Island where it had to be a foot of snow before they even considered shutting down. God, we were tough...(I miss my bathroom)...
