Time to Build

I'll go back and add photos to all my posts later I swear, I'm just to lazy right now to upload them. Today, Saturday the 18th of October was a great day. In the bathroom saga I did a deep clean to the gutted room, replaced the two hardwood floor pieces that will sit under the door threshold.

After that I tackled the window. This I thought was going to be tough, but with the right attitude, I know that sounds corny but I decided to have the right attitude today, it turned out being no problem at all. The right attitude by the way included these rules. 1) Work patiently 2) Work cleanly 3) Work Smartly 4) Do it correctly. So with the correct tools and taking my time to do things right it was pretty fun and surprised me how easy it was.

We cleaned the window mold out and slid the old window in for the time being until we can order our new window on Monday. Leslie and I then focused on the floor. I went to Home Depot and grabbed some Backerboard. We spent the next couple of hours laying that down and making the cuts for the toilet and tub plumbing. It looks pretty good if I might say so myself. Leslie screwed everything down with the driver while I made the cuts.

It doesn't sound like much work, but it took me all day, however we did it right and it was fun. Our next projects will be setting the tub, tiling the floor, fixing the roof in the corner where the old water heater vent traveled, setting the new window in and doing the drywall.

Hopefully these next tasks will be complete by the end of October/beginning of November. Peace out!

My girls

Well, it's true the bathroom is gutted, well everything but the dirty floor stickers, aka linoleum and a light that I'm reluctant to take down because we need the light in there as long as we can. The Jazz are playing their first pre-season game of the year right now at the Lakers and it's kinda weird thinking that b-ball is about to start up again. I'm not even close to seeing football finish and although there is 3/4 of the NFL season and 1/2 of the college season left, I still feel like it's going way to quickly.

It'll be good though when football season is over so that Leslie and Aubrey can have me 100% back. I'm doing good though right now I think... that is... I think. Aubrey is such a joy right now. I love her soooo much and she is my little beacon of joy and light that I get to see everyday amidst my crazy schedule. Just to get home and see her smile is such a blast.

Aubrey is so pure and full of love, hope, faith and peace. She has her future all before her and I hope that I can be a guide she needs to live a wonderful life. Her mom loves her and takes such great care of her everyday. Leslie could choose no better place than to be with Aubrey taking care of her. I'm such a lucky guy to get such beautiful and happy women in my life.
